Foams and emulsions are ubiquitous across industries as disparate as food and beverages, personal care, textiles, oil recovery and mineral processing. The stability of dispersions of two immiscible media can be greatly affected by molecules at the interface between the phases. Project 3 seeks to fill the gap in our understanding of how molecular structure affects the properties of interfaces and the overall stability of the system.
