Research Interests - Interfacial Phenomena and Engineering

A couple of projects are current being pursed in the area of interfacial engineering. For example, hydrophobic cellulose has been used to produce particles that super-stabilized foams and foam-emulsions with stability for months (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Foams stabilized by cellulose particles (L) maintained a constant volume over 40 d (R).
