Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation...

In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

The aim of the proposal is to improve understanding about combinations of normal surfactants and hydrotropes. The systems of study are reference oil-water interfaces, provided...

Surprisingly little work has been done to gain understanding about the nature, stability and properties of nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents (organosols). Recently...

Metal carbonate particles dispersed in dodecane and stabilised with alkyl salicylate surfactants have been shown to aggregate when trace water is added. We have found that...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0006

The aim is to improve understanding of solution properties and aggregation of hydrotropes and alkyl¿hydrotropes, and the relationship with common surfactants. Although they are...

The aim is to improve understanding about combinations of normal surfactants and hydrotropes in aqueous systems. This is to support our recent work with but in non-aqueous...

We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a...

This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...
