Photochemical and evaporation behaviour of sunscreen formulations (2016)
Thesis
Marinopoulos, I. (2016). Photochemical and evaporation behaviour of sunscreen formulations. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219043

Sunscreens ensure protection of the human skin against the harmful effects of the UV radiation in the UVB (290 – 320 nm) and UVA (320 – 400 nm) wavelength ranges. They commonly contain one or more organic UV absorbers that absorb light in the wavelen... Read More about Photochemical and evaporation behaviour of sunscreen formulations.

Membrane permeation from solutions, particle dispersions and particle-stabilised emulsions (2013)
Thesis
Johnson, A. J. (2013). Membrane permeation from solutions, particle dispersions and particle-stabilised emulsions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214551

This thesis is primarily concerned with understanding how the rate and extent of membrane permeation of a drug is affected by switching the donor delivery vehicle for different permeants and membranes. The project is funded by an industrial Collabora... Read More about Membrane permeation from solutions, particle dispersions and particle-stabilised emulsions.

Understanding and optimisation of non-conventional emulsions (2012)
Thesis
Thompson, M. A. (2012). Understanding and optimisation of non-conventional emulsions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213500

This thesis is concerned with understanding the effect of diols on emulsion properties and to use knowledge gained to optimise emulsions containing them. The project was sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, a world leading pharmaceutical company, whose inte... Read More about Understanding and optimisation of non-conventional emulsions.

Surfactant properties of corrosion inhibitors (2011)
Thesis
El Moaty, I. S. (2011). Surfactant properties of corrosion inhibitors. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213043

Corrosion is one of the most common, costly and widespread industrial problems in the oil and gas production industry. Surfactant addition is one of many ways to inhibit the corrosion of metals, especially on hard-to-reach surfaces such as the inside... Read More about Surfactant properties of corrosion inhibitors.

Nanoparticles at liquid interfaces (2008)
Thesis
Lees, T. J. G. (2008). Nanoparticles at liquid interfaces. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208950

This thesis is concerned with the study of two phase systems stabilised by nanometre sized solid particles. The understanding of how modifying these particles at the oil(air)-water interface can change the properties of the bulk systems they stabilis... Read More about Nanoparticles at liquid interfaces.

Surfactant aspects of corrosion inhibition (2007)
Thesis
Hicks, J. T. (2007). Surfactant aspects of corrosion inhibition. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214284

This thesis is concerned with investigating the surfactant aspects of corrosion inhibition. Corrosion inhibitors are of great industrial importance because they are a relatively inexpensive and easily applicable method of protecting oil pipelines aga...

Foaming and anti-foaming of nonionic surfactant solutions (2004)
Thesis
Haynes, M. D. (2004). Foaming and anti-foaming of nonionic surfactant solutions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218525

Foam is important for many processes such as enhanced oil recovery and firefighting. Although a large volume of foam is desirable for these particular applications, for other applications it needs to be suppressed, for example, in washing machines. I...

Preparation and characterisation of polymer films from polymerizable microemulsions (2004)
Thesis
Porter, M. R. (2004). Preparation and characterisation of polymer films from polymerizable microemulsions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218376

This thesis is concerned with the microemulsion phase behaviour of polymerizable surfactants with polymerizable oils and water, and the effect of various properties and characteristics of the equilibrium microemulsion phases and their components on t... Read More about Preparation and characterisation of polymer films from polymerizable microemulsions.

Evaporation rates from emulsions stabilised by surfactants and nanoparticles (2003)
Thesis
Askargorta, I. A. (2003). Evaporation rates from emulsions stabilised by surfactants and nanoparticles. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214264

This thesis is concerned with the evaporation rates of emulsions stabilised by either surfactant molecules or nm-size solid particles. Understanding of the mechanisms of the evaporation process plus the control of the rate limiting step of each mecha...
