Polymers and Microfluidics

The Polymers and Microfluidics group is centred on experimental soft condensed matter. We study complex fluids, often multicomponent systems, containing polymers, copolymers, (nano)-particles and surfactants.

Through Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and rheological measurements, we have recently established the morphology of nanoscale structures in ubiquitous anionic-nonionic surfactant mixtures and their response to temperature. In doing so, we provide a foundation for understanding their macroscopic and flow properties.
