1. Surface Modifications and Applications of Aqueous Silica Sols
Abstract : Methods of modifying the surface of the particles of colloidal silica were developed and the effects of surface modification on the properties of colloidal silica were studied.Gamma-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) readily reacts with water to yield a hydrolysed silane that reacts readily with the silica surface.

2. Additive manufacturing of fused silica glass
Abstract : Additive Manufacturing, of both metals and polymers, has seen rapid development in recent years, whereas the progress in glass has been rather slow. Today, glass can be considered the last frontier without a specialized 3D printing method available. READ MORE

3. Hydrophobic surfaces: Effect of surface structure on wetting and interaction forces
Abstract : The use of hydrophobic surfaces is important for many processes both in nature and industry. Interactions between hydrophobic species play a key role in industrial applications such as water-cleaning procedures and pitch control during papermaking but they also give information on how to design surfaces like hydrophobic mineral pigments.

4. Surface Force and Friction : effects of adsorbed layers and surface topography
Abstract : Interfacial features of polymers are a complex, fascinating topic, and industrially very important. There is clearly a need to understand interactions between polymer layers as they can be used for controlling surface properties, colloidal stability and lubrication. The aim of my Ph. READ MORE

5. Surface interactions and adsorbate structures : An atomic force microscopy study
Abstract : Atomic force microscopy, AFM, was used for studying somecurrent topics in the field of surface and colloid science. Themain topics addressed in this thesis were: the nature of thelong-range attraction between hydrophobic surfaces; slidingfriction behavior for microscopic contacts; and interfacialstructuring of polyelectrolyte-nanoparticle multilayerfilms.
