1. Exploring The Versatility Of Ionic Liquids : From fundamental understanding to materials inspired from ionic liquids
Abstract : Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained popularity as “green” and safe replacements for conventional organic solvents. They are defined as ionic salts displaying a melting point below 100 °C. Some of their unique characteristics also include negligible vapour pressure, good electrical conductivity as well as good thermal and chemical stability. READ MORE

2. Characterisation of Aqueous Solutions, Liquid Crystals and Solid State of Non-ionic Polymers in Association with Amphiphiles and Drugs
Abstract : Cellulose ethers and polyethylene glycols are used in drug formulations as water swelling or water soluble matrices. Polar lipids, for example monoglycerides, and surfactants can be used to solubilise hydrophobic or amphiphilic drugs and to formulate potential drug delivery vehicles such as emulsions, liposomes and cubic phases.

3. Nano-segregated soft materials observed by NMR spectroscopy
Abstract : This thesis is about using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for studying soft materials. Soft materials may be encountered everyday by most readers of this thesis, for example when taking a shower or watching TV. The usefulness of these materials originates from them being soft yet, at the same time, having some kind of a structure. READ MORE

4. Electrolyte evaluation and engineering for the performance enhancement of electrochemical capacitors
Abstract : As a consequence of a fast-paced technological evolution along with the acknowledgment of utilizing clean and renewable energy resources over fossil fuels, the importance of energy storage devices is widely recognized. The electrochemical capacitor (EC), commonly known as a supercapacitor or ultracapacitor, is an energy storage device that is already being used in portable consumer electronics, electrification of transportation, and grid-level applications.

5. Self-Assembling Surfactant Aggregates for Synthesis of Nanomaterials
Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to study how surfactant assemblies can be used as templates to form inorganic nanomaterials. Both water-in-oil microemulsions and liquid crystalline phases have been used as structure directing agents. READ MORE
