Surface Active Carbene (Surfenes) Precursors and Complexes
Within the last decade N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been widely recognised for their numerous catalytic applications. However, despite their widespread use as... -
Competitive and synergistic interactions in gel formation
The interactions of small molecules with Pluronic copolymers are of relevance to their numerous pharmaceutical, domestic, technological and industrial applications. Whereas the... -
Co-micellization of hydrotropes and surfactants
This proposal builds on recent work with hydrotropes alone (Langmuir, 2011, 27, 12346-12353); now co-micellisation of hydrotropes with surfactants will be investigated. The aim... -
Exploring CO2-philic/ CO2-phobic amphiphiles, cross-linkers and HC-polymers f...
Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...
