Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Concentrated emulsions as proxy CO2 thickeners
The proposal aims to explore the oil-in-water (brine) high internal phase emulsion systems (HIPEs) formed by nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants using contrast variation SANS... -
Solventless protein liquids: a novel form of biological matter
Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on... -
Mixed surfactants for dialable organogels
The idea is to be able to ¿dial-up¿ the length and properties of CO2-philic and organo-philic rod-like micelles. This proposal aims to explore mixed surfactant systems in... -
Practical viscosifiers for supercritical CO2
This proposal explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving... -
Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
Structure and interactions in model and real anti-reflective coatings
This proposal seeks to exploit contrast variation SANS to study a multi-component system, spanning a wide range of colloidal length scales. The multi-component system under... -
Structure of biocompatible fluorescent microemulsions
Building from work previously carried out at ISIS (RB1410544) and pulished open-access in Chem. Commun. 2016, 25, 7344, we propose a SANS experiment to investigate the structure... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...
