Polymer colloids, soft matter, stimuli-responsive polymers, emulsion polymerization and water-based polymer coatings, inks and adhesives. Photoresist polymers for nanolithography, nanofluidic devices ...

The objective of this project is to design and fabricate a novel kind of nanocomposite materials, nanowire-colloidal composite particles, using self-assembly and emulsion polymerization. The ...

Control of the zeta potential and size enables control of the characteristics of colloidal particles In production a high zeta potential prevents aggregation of the emulsion, increases stability to ...

Self-organization of soft-matter components can create complex and beautiful structures. But the intricate structures created by adding a second stage of organization could reveal more than just a ...

The use of emulsion layering of emulsion surfaces could offer industry with a new approach to focused release of food compounds, such as functional bioactives or flavours, according to new research.

The study, published in the journal Food Hydrocolloids, suggests that using a mixture of commonly available emulsifying proteins and solid particles could lead to more stable emulsions and foams. The ...

Poor organization makes it hard for readers to find the helpful information in a recent book. The field of colloids, or pseudosolutions, has advanced to the point that a volume dedicated to the ...

When a particle is immersed in a fluid, a range of processes causes the interface to become electrically charged. Some of the most commonly found charging mechanisms include adsorption of charged ...

Conventional surfactants have dominated emulsion science due to their ease of use, relatively low cost and control. However, their future industrial use is under threat, because of formulation foaming ...
