Measuring the reflectivity from molten chocolate sandwiches
Molten chocolate is a dense suspension of solids (mainly sugar) in oil, to which surfactants have been added to improve the flow properties, either during manufacture or in the... -
Cationic surfactants adsorbed to titanium dioxide-effect of pH and added elec...
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in a wide range of applications from medical and dental implants to treatment of contaminated air and water streams. However many of the... -
Structure of multi-component mixed metal molybdates by neutron diffraction
Our general aim is to understand the defect structure of complex oxides in ternary oxide systems, which are known to be effective selective oxidation catalysts. For this purpose... -
Steroidal drug containing dodecyl sulphate monolayers: effect of counterion
An number of potential drugs, including steroidal drugs are extremely water insoluble, limiting their commercialisation as medicines. Solubilisation of drug in surfactant... -
Adsorption of Sodium Polyacrylate onto a-Alumina
In this proposal we investigate the adsorption of the key dispersant additive, sodium polyacrylate, used in colloidal systems using neutron reflection on aluminium oxide, with... -
Tailored interfacial properties of battery electrodes
Consisting of a positive and negative electrode, conventional batteries undergo a range of static and dynamic processes that originate at the electrode surface. As such,... -
Effect of structure on the location of hydrophobic drugs in ionic surfactant ...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Effect of high temperatures on the adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/co...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) is a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in both water and in oils. BTAH is introduced as a corrosion inhibitor in oil based...
