Effect of emulsifier and added preservative on the structure and stability of...
Investigations will be performed to determine the effect of composition on the internal structure of semi-solid oil-in-water emulsions designed to model the GlaxoSmithKline... -
Effect of pH on the shape of oil-in-water microemulsions formed by a zwitteri...
Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of... -
SANS study of engine oil gelation
Metal carbonate particles dispersed in dodecane and stabilised with alkyl salicylate surfactants have been shown to aggregate when trace water is added. We have found that... -
Selective adsorption of polymer on Janus particles
Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and... -
Micellar aggregates of direct and reverse Tetronics for enhanced drug solubil...
Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications... -
Electrochemically Growing Hydrogels to Control Stiffness
At high pH many low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are dispersed in solution. When a trigger is applied to lower the pH the gelator molecules self-assemble into one...
