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...

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...

The preparation, type and stability of emulsions stabilised solely by solid silica particles has been investigated in detail using a combination of conductivity, stability, light diffraction, optical microscopy and contact angle measurements. The wet... Read More about Preparation, type and stability of emulsions stabilised by solid particles.

Solubilisation and emulsification of silicone oils in aqueous surfactant systems (1999)
Thesis
Dong, J. (1999). Solubilisation and emulsification of silicone oils in aqueous surfactant systems. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4210607

Solubilisation and emulsification of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oils into aqueous surfactant solutions have been investigated with a series of nonionic surfactants and an anionic surfactant (AOT).For nonionic surfactants at oil-water interfaces, the...

Interaction of oils with surfactants (1996)
Thesis
MacNab, J. R. (1996). Interaction of oils with surfactants. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211419

This thesis is concerned with the interactions of oils with surfactants. The understanding of these interactions is important for a number of practical applications which include perfume delivery in fabric softeners. Both non-ionic surfactants, of th...
