Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels with Different Surfactants
This proposal is part of a project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and small amounts of additives, such... -
Polymerisation of Styrene in PEI-Surfactant Films on Si Wafers
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly organised mesostructures formed in the... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels
This proposal is part of a new project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with small amounts of salt or... -
Response of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels to Shear
Partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils have recently been found to form gels in the presence of small amounts of salt or surfactant. As cellulose is a renewable, sustainable... -
Investigation of zwitterionic surfactant templated bio-polymer films as senso...
We have found it possible to deposit mesostructured surfactant templated polymer thin films on solid substrates. To date the majority of work has used hexadecyltrimethylammonium... -
Structure and formation of L3 phase surfactant templated inorganic oxides
The L3 (sponge) surfactant phase is a promising template for inorganic materials since it is composed of large, uniform water-filled pores separated by a surfactant bilayer. If...
