Polymer Colloids Research Interests and Expertise

• Preparation and physico-chemical characterization of "smart" polymeric colloidal microgels.
• The role of polymers in the control of dispersion stability, adsorbing and non-adsorbing polymers.
• Polymeric surfactants especially with respect to their solution properties.
• Polymers as drug delivery vehicles.
• Polyelectrolytes, solution properties and interfacial behaviour.
