Branched Copolymer Surfactants as Versatile Templates for Responsive Emulsifiers with Bespoke Temperature‐Triggered Emulsion‐Breaking or Gelation
Rajbanshi, Abhishek; Alves da Silva, Marcelo; Haslett, Niamh; Cranwell, Philippa; Cunningham, Neil; Mahmoudi, Najet; Murnane, Darragh; Pavlova, Ewa; Slouf, Miroslav; Dreiss, Cecile; Cook, Michael (2023-10-27)It has been found that the thermoresponsive behavior of emulsions stabilized by block copolymer surfactants (BCSs) can induce either gelation or emulsion break‐up with mild temperature changes. A hydrophilic, steric‐stabilizing ... -
Engineering thermoresponsive emulsions with branched copolymer surfactants
Cook, Michael T.; Rajbanshi, Abhishek; Achampong, Daniel; Dreiss, Cécile A.; Alves da Silva, Marcelo; Porcar, Lionel; Mahmoudi, Najet; Maestro, Armando; Tummino, Andrea; Gutfreund, Philipp (2022-10-30)This study describes thermo‐rheological properties of branched copolymer surfactants (BCSs) stabilizing oil‐in‐water emulsions to generate materials exhibiting temperature‐dependent gelation with the ability to solubilize ... -
Polymer architecture dictates thermoreversible gelation in engineered emulsions stabilised with branched copolymer surfactants
Rajbanshi, Abhishek; Alves da Silva, Marcelo; Murnane, Darragh; Porcar, Lionel; Dreiss, Cécile A.; Cook, Michael T. (2022-09-26)The generation of materials that switch from a liquid to gel state upon warming can enable new healthcare technologies with improved functionality, such as in situ gel-forming materials for drug delivery to topical or ...
