Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
For the first time we have an experimental technique, neutron reflection that can determine the main structural parameters of surfactactant layers adsorbed at the air/liquid insert interface. We propose to use the technique to study a selection of surfactants representative of the different types used industrially, i.e. anionic, cationic, zwitterionic, non-ionic, etc., and to attempt to relate molecular structure of the layer to macroscopic behaviour.
