1. Phase Diagrams, Microstructure and Phase Separation in Alkyl Glucoside Systems
Abstract : The aim of this thesis work was to study phase diagrams, microstructure and phase separation in alkylglucoside systems. Both alkyl glucoside/water systems and microemulsions with alkyl glucosides have been studied. READ MORE

2. Complexation between hydrophobically modified polymers and amylose. Gelation and competition by surfactants
Abstract : Aqueous mixtures of hydrophobically modified polymers (HMP) with amylose have been investigated by rheology and 1H NMR. Amylose can cross-link HMP chains by forming single-helical inclusion complexes with the hydrophobic side chains of the HMP, leading to thermoreversible, elastic, and thixotropic gels at ambient temperatures.

3. Interaction between Crosslinked Polyelectrolyte Gels and Oppositely Charged Surfactants
Abstract : The interactions between anionic, crosslinked gels and cationic surfactants have been investigated. When exposed to oppositely charged surfactant, the gel collapses into a dense complex of polyion and micelles. READ MORE

4. Aqueous behaviour of characteristic molecules in the synthesis of porous silica materials : - an atomistic description
Abstract : The formation process of porous silica materials is an intricate process, involving a number of components that interact to form a highly organized material. Both zeolites and mesoporous silica materials typically require the presence of organic structure director agents (SDAs) around which the silica network polymerizes. READ MORE

5. Properties of modified starches and their use in the surface treatment of paper
Abstract : The papermaking industry uses a large amount of starch each year, both as a wet-end additive and as a rheological modifier in surface sizing and coating colors. It is important to be able to reduce the amount of chemicals used in the papermaking and surface treatment process, to reduce costs and to make the process even more efficient. READ MORE
