High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization (2011)
Journal Article
Dunstan, T. S., Fletcher, P. D., & Mashinchi, S. (2012). High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 28(1), 339-349. https://doi.org/10.1021/la204104m

We have investigated the formation, drop sizes, and stability of emulsions prepared by hand shaking in a closed vessel in which the emulsion is in contact with a single type of surface during its formation. The emulsions undergo catastrophic phase in... Read More about High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization.

Effect of added diols (glycols) on the emulsion properties of oil, water and surfactant mixtures (2011)
Journal Article
Binks, B. P., Fletcher, P. D., Thompson, M. A., & Elliott, R. P. (2011). Effect of added diols (glycols) on the emulsion properties of oil, water and surfactant mixtures. Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 390(1-3), 67-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2011.09.005

We have investigated the effects of addition of various diols on the properties of water–paraffin emulsions stabilised by non-ionic surfactants. Diols do not partition to the oil phase of these emulsions to any significant extent. Diol addition cause...

Antibacterial effects of theaflavin and synergy with epicatechin against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (2011)
Journal Article
Betts, J. W., Kelly, S. M., & Haswell, S. J. (2011). Antibacterial effects of theaflavin and synergy with epicatechin against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. International journal of antimicrobial agents, 38(5), 421-425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2011.07.006

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Acinetobacter baumannii are recognised as important nosocomial pathogens; however, due to their intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotics, treatment options are limited. Polyphenols from black tea have been shown t...

Scaling up of continuous-flow, microwave-assisted, organic reactions by varying the size of Pd-functionalized catalytic monoliths (2011)
Journal Article
He, P., Haswell, S. J., Fletcher, P. D., Kelly, S. M., & Mansfield, A. (2011). Scaling up of continuous-flow, microwave-assisted, organic reactions by varying the size of Pd-functionalized catalytic monoliths. Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 7, 1150-1157. https://doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.7.133

A product-scalable, catalytically mediated flow system has been developed to perform Suzuki-Miyaura reactions under a microwave heating regime, in which the volumetric throughput of a Pd-supported silica monolith can be used to increase the quantity...

Compartmentalization and separation of aqueous reagents in the water droplets of water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (2011)
Journal Article
Dunstan, T. S., & Fletcher, P. D. I. (2011). Compartmentalization and separation of aqueous reagents in the water droplets of water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 27(7), 3409-3415. https://doi.org/10.1021/la200058d

We have compartmentalised aqueous reagents and indicator species within the micron-sized water droplets of mixed high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Mass transport of the reagents across the micron-thickness oil films separating the water droplets...
