研究领域

Our research focuses on colloid and surface science. We seek to uncover the interplay between the fundamental forces and interactions that drive assembly at nanometre scales. Specific interests include novel stabilisers, with particular focus on responsive molecules, self-assembled and liquid crystalline phases and new methods for measuring fundamental forces. We make extensive use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), tensiometry and other techniques.
