Structure in unusual microemulsions
The research topic is Low surface energy materials (LSEMs), and development of new hydrocarbon (HC) architectures as replacements for environmentally hazardous fluorocarbon surfactants and polymers. The aim is to explore how chain branching, substituted cations and co-surfactants affect the structural behavior of the water in oil (w/o) microemulsions. The surfactants of interest are shown in Figure 1, and the preliminary SANS data (Figure 2) for the surfactant/water/oil (micro)emulsions with w=10 and w=20, indicates that stable multi-component droplets are present in the system and the degree of droplet growth depends on the water content (Table 1). This project is supported by a G8 Governments grant: New low surface energy materials LSEMs G8 Research Councils Initiative on Multilateral Research Funding, EPSRC grant code: EP/K020676/1.
