Gold-loaded microgels
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... -
Close control over microemulsion stability using blended solvents
The aim of this proposal is to investigate a novel approach to phase separation in microemulsions using careful choice of organic solvents, and appropriate mixtures.... -
New CO2-philic surfactants
The proposal aims to explore water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions with new, very promising hydrocarbon surfactants. The compounds are generated using standard chemistry1 but with...
