Simultaneous SAXS and SANS Analysis for the Detection of Toroidal Supramolecular Polymers Composed of Noncovalent Supermacrocycles in Solution. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 128(34), 9890 - 9893. https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.201603370

Molecular self-assembly primarily occurs in solution. To better understand this process, techniques capable of probing the solvated state are consequently required. Small-angle scattering (SAS) has a proven ability to detect and characterize solution...

Graphene-philic surfactants for nanocomposites in latex technology (2016)
Journal Article
Mohamed, A., Ardyani, T., Abu Bakar, S., Brown, P., Hollamby, M., Sagisaka, M., & Eastoe, J. (2016). Graphene-philic surfactants for nanocomposites in latex technology. Advances in colloid and interface science, 230, 54-69. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cis.2016.01.003

Graphene is the newest member of the carbon family, and has revolutionized materials science especially in the field of polymer nanocomposites. However, agglomeration and uniform dispersion remains an Achilles' heel (even an elephant in the room), ha... Read More about Graphene-philic surfactants for nanocomposites in latex technology.

Supramolecular assembly can yield ordered structures by taking advantage of the cumulative effect of multiple non-covalent interactions between adjacent molecules. The thermodynamic origin of many self-assembled structures in water is the balance bet...
