How do demulsifiers work? A SANS study of model oil-water interfaces.
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Micellization in H/F-Carbon surfactant mixtures used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the micellar compositions of fluorocarbon/ hydrocarbon mixtures used in commercial fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS.... -
Fire-fighting surfactants: aggregation and micellar composition
The aim is to probe micellar structures of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS.... -
Emulsification of Fire-fighting surfactants
The aim is to understand how the addition of a common hydrogenated/ deuterated oil affects the size of the self-assembled structure of three common industrial fluorocarbon (FC)...
