Course summary

Our research group focuses on the fundamentals and applications of colloids and polymer systems. We are particularly interested in the behaviour of these systems in the bulk and at interfaces and in applying the fundamental knowledge to every day challenges faced by industry. Our capabilities in the group allow us to: Synthesise controlled structure polymers and polymer particles using controlled polymerisation techniques (e.g. RAFT, ATRP), Study the properties of surfactant, polymeric, asphaltenic and colloidal systems, particularly their assembly in the bulk and at solid and liquid interfaces and their bulk and interfacial rheological properties, Investigate novel ways of stabilising emulsions and foams, Synthesise microencapsulation systems to control the delivery of a range of active ingredients, Develop novel in-situ/online particle characterisation techniques, Synthesise complex fluids for specific flow applications, Study the flow, separation and consolidation of multi-component particulate suspensions.
