Polymer Colloids Research Interests and Expertise

• Surfactant properties.
• Adsorption at interfaces including dynamic studies.
• Film properties and elasticity.
• Micelle formation and kinetics.
• Liquid crystals.
• Microemulsion properties.
• Phase stability and film rigidities.
• Droplet and film structure - small-angle neutron scattering.
• Kinetic processes in microemulsions.
• Nanoparticles formation in microemulsions.
• Particle structures and properties - metal and alloyed systems.
