Rapid microfluidic phase mapping of SDS:water:butanol
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are... -
The effect of electrostatics on the spontaneous formation process of vesicles...
Spontaneous vesicle formation is observed in mixtures of anionic with cationic/zwitterionic surfactants and this process can be slowed down by addition of copolymer. Aim of the... -
Dynamics of Oil Exchange in PIC Nanoemulsion - Dependence on the Systems Comp...
The dynamics of oil exchange in oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions produced spontaneously by the phase inverse concentration (PIC) method is only little known so far. In this... -
The formation of elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 through the mixing...
This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)... -
Unravel Stabilization Mechanism of CO2 Foams under High Temperature and High ...
Long-term stable CO2 foams were generated under high temperature (120 ºC) and high pressure (12 MPa) (HPHT) in our laboratory using a C22-tailed weak cationic surfactant,... -
Probing the viability of water-in-CO2 microemulsions with Headgroup-free amph...
Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)... -
SANS study of synthesis of interpenetrating polymer networks in supercritical...
We use SANS to study synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network in supercritical CO2 in situ at sans2D. The initial system contains an inorganic polymer network, hydrophilic... -
CO2-philic Low Surface Energy Surfactants for applications in Enhanced Oil Re...
In recent years, there has been an enormous interest in the study of surfactants for supercritical CO2 (scCO2). One important potential application of these materials is in... -
Quantum dot ligand shell optimisation via solution processing and ligand exch...
Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter... -
Shaping silica to mesoscale architectures at room-temperature
Hierarchical zeolites with molecular order at both the micropore (<2nm) and mesopore (2-50nm) level are able to combine confinement effects in catalysis without suffering...
