Our research areas include wetting and surfaces forces, polymeric surface coatings, and active/responsive colloidal systems.

Wetting and Surfaces Forces

The research interests of this area include the forces stabilizing foam films, forces between solid colloid particles, oscillatory structural forces, and wetting and transport phenomena at the nanoscale.

Polymeric Surface Coatings

In this research area we focus on the functionalisation of surfaces using polymeric materials such as polymer brushes, adsorbed microgels, responsive PE multilayers, and co-polymer networks. In addition, we investigate their internal structure and dynamics and how they interact with cellulose fibres.

Active/Responsive Colloidal Systems

In this area we investigate topics such as aqueous particle stabilized foam systems, particle-stabilized (Pickering) emulsions, active colloids near polymer functionalized substrates or hybrid microgels.
