The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

Oils are commonly used in personal care industry as emollients. Owing to their undesirable feel they are formulated in oil in water emulsions form. Emulsions contains...

Supercapacitors are devices capable of absorbing and delivering large amounts of energy over short time-scales. They are ideal for high-power/low-energy applications such as...

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...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered promising green solvents for future industrial formulations due to their biocompatibility, low cost, green production, and...

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of...

This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments...

Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated...

In our recent research at King’s we have shown that significant increases in micellar drug solubilization can be achieved by ‘matching' the hydrophobe of a drug with the...

The self-assembly behavior of surfactant in alcohol/water co-solvent is quite different from aqueous solution, and has got less attention. Nevertheless, these systems have great...

We have created a new probe that is able to remotely measure the strain within injectable gels. In this set of experiments we aim to measure the performance of the probe within...

The research topic is Green Low Surface Energy Materials (LSEMs), with the aim to develop new hydrocarbon (HC) architectures to replace environmentally hazardous fluorocarbon...

The world wide trade in chemicals is shipped via large tankers. These tankers have their holds coated in epoxy resin based systems. The major issue in their use is the waste and...

Peptide amphiphiles have special self-assembling behaviors and important aggregate properties, which make them have many potential applications both in vitro and in vivo. The...

We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive...

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....

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

Surfactants ability to lower surface tension and act as solubilising agents is critical for their wide use in everyday products. An oily hydrocarbon (HC) "tail group" attached...

Coordination star polymers are a group of novel macromolecules with coordination metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) that make-up the core section. There is rare studies on the...
