The project represents a new application of SANS to investigate chemically sophisticated chiral catalysts, addressing important questions in modern synthetic and catalytic...

This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard surfactant mixtures have been extensively studied...

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...

The aim of this project is to use SANS to determine if a critical micelle concentration (CMC) exists for the formation of inverse micelles in non-polar solvents. The CMC is a...

The objective is to refine current understanding about the mechanism of hydrotropy with respect to polarity and electrostatic character of hydrotropes and hydrophobic solutes...

This proposal aims to explore aggregation behavior of common surfactants in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on aggregate size,...

The aim is to employ contrast variation CV-SANS to investigate structure in novel systems used to generate metal-containing nanoparticles on organic solvents by UV irradiation....

The aim is to investigate and understand interactions of hydrotropes (primitive amphiphiles) with a new range of industrially important non-ionic surfactants, alkyl-capped...

Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids...

This proposal is to explore aqueous phase structures with a new class of magnetic self-aggregating ionic liquids (MSAILs) (see Figures 2 and 3 below). The dilute micellar...

Contrast-variation SANS (CV SANS) will be used to determine how surfactant inverse micelles interact with model metal oxide colloids. By using deuterated surfactant (D-AOT) with...
