SANS DETERMINATION OF CO2 ABSORPTION INTO SURFACTANT STABILISING LAYERS
Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation... -
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... -
Bi-disperse colloids: silica and microemulsions
Surprisingly little work has been done to gain understanding about the nature, stability and properties of nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents (organosols). Recently... -
Viscosity modifiers for CO2
There is a well-documented track record of research into water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions. Using newly discovered CO2 compatible surfactants, the next step is to explore... -
Evolving microemulsions - tuning selectivity in oxidation reactions
We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic... -
Probing the internal structure of ethyl butyrate containing microemulsions us...
The proposal aims to establish the location of the oil, ethyl butyrate in dodecyldimethylamine-N-oxide (DDAO) microemulsions. Molecular dynamic simulations have proposed that a... -
Ionic liquid containing microemulsions
The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic... -
Structure of oil-in-water microemulsions containing eutectic mixtures of ment...
Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...
