This proposal aims to explore a cheaper and more environmental-benign surfactant system for yielding efficient water/CO2 microemulsions. The new surfactants permit high...

This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard petrochemically-derived surfactant mixtures have been...

We intend to study the aggregation behaviour of the all-conjugated block catiocopolyelectrolyte PF2/6-P3MAHT in the presence of the biomacroanion guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in...

High shear in paints and emulsion is common during both processing and application. Spray coating, films rolling and mixing all contaain high shear states. We are interested in...

Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and...

Spina Bifida - “split spine” in Latin - is the most common birth defect with 0.2 % occurrence worldwide. It is due to foetus’ spine failing to close during the first month of...

Low molecular weight gels are the result of the self-assembly of small molecules into fibres. These entangle to entrap the solvent. When the solvent is water, these are called...

Nuclear power has played an important role in Britain¿s history and is set to play an equally important role in its future. We have recently established a network involving...
