Anisotropic particles at liquid interfaces (2022)
Thesis
Morgan, S. O. (2022). Anisotropic particles at liquid interfaces. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224664

In this thesis we study the adsorption dynamics and self-assembly of anisotropic particles at a liquid-liquid interface. Firstly, we couple a Langevin dynamics model with the high-resolution finite element analysis software package Surface Evolver, w... Read More about Anisotropic particles at liquid interfaces.

Using external fields to control the behaviour of anisotropic particles at liquid interfaces (2016)
Thesis
Newton, B. J. (2016). Using external fields to control the behaviour of anisotropic particles at liquid interfaces. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219525

In this thesis we use analytical theory and high resolution finite element simulations (using the program ‘Surface Evolver’) to consider the influence of an external magnetic field on the orientation and self-assembly of rod-like magnetic particles....

ABC terpolymers : micelles, polymersomes and stabilisation of water in water emulsions (2013)
Thesis
Ghasdian, N. (2013). ABC terpolymers : micelles, polymersomes and stabilisation of water in water emulsions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215846

Polymersomes are vesicles formed from block copolymers. Their large internal volumes and thick walls make them very attractive for the encapsulation of different species. However, a major issue which prevents the use of polymersomes in most of the ap... Read More about ABC terpolymers : micelles, polymersomes and stabilisation of water in water emulsions.

A multi-disciplinary study of insect adhesion : functional biomechanics and applications (2013)
Thesis
Anyon, M. J. (2013). A multi-disciplinary study of insect adhesion : functional biomechanics and applications. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214133

The ability of insects to successfully attach to a wide variety of surfaces with seemingly little to no effort has fascinated naturalists and researchers for hundreds of years. The observation of a fly climbing up a window, or spider walking upside... Read More about A multi-disciplinary study of insect adhesion : functional biomechanics and applications.

Structure and interactions of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces (2011)
Thesis
Law, A. D. (2011). Structure and interactions of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211471

The structure and stability of colloidal monolayers depends crucially on the effective pair interaction potential between colloidal particles. In the first part of the thesis, we present two novel methods for extracting the pair potential from the tw... Read More about Structure and interactions of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces.
