Research
Part of my present
work is on air water interface and to study the high internal phase emulsions
and their characterization by X-ray and neutron small angle scattering (SAXS
and SANS) and reflectometry, both in the laboratory and at large facilities
such as ISIS. The work also involves
in the synthesis and the use of the novel RAFT (Reversible
Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer) surfactants for improving the
properties of emulsion. The work is collaborative work with ORICA, Australia's largest chemical company.
I am also interested to understand the milk protein structure, effect of high
pressure on milk micelles and behaviour of proteins at air water interface. My doctoral work with Prof. P. Bahadur at V.N.S.G.
University, India was on Investigation of polymeric surfactant and mixed
surfactant system by different techniques. It involved characterisation and
phase transition study of self-assembling system such as block copolymers,
conventional surfactants and their multi component mixtures. |
