Experimental and theoretical studies of the effect of molecular conformation on the photophysical properties in the pyrene system (2022)
Journal Article
Song, X., Guo, H., Yu, S., Huang, L., Redshaw, C., Zhang, Q., …Feng, X. (2023). Experimental and theoretical studies of the effect of molecular conformation on the photophysical properties in the pyrene system. Dyes and pigments : an international journal, 210, Article 111036. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2022.111036

Disordered motion is an intrinsic property of molecules. The use of controllable molecular motion can not only achieve interesting molecular geometry, but can also induce novel opto-electronic behaviour. Herein, a set of pyrene-based compounds were s...

Edible oil-water foamulsions stabilized by vesicle network of sucrose ester (2022)
Journal Article
Zheng, R., Hu, X., Su, C., Jiang, J., Cui, Z., & Binks, B. P. (2023). Edible oil-water foamulsions stabilized by vesicle network of sucrose ester. Journal of Molecular Liquids, 371, Article 121066. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molliq.2022.121066

Foamulsions are tri-phase dispersions consisting of oil, water and gas. The stabilizers of foamulsions are typically single surfactants or their mixtures. However, foamulsions stabilized by molecular surfactants are usually unstable against long term... Read More about Edible oil-water foamulsions stabilized by vesicle network of sucrose ester.
