Personal care products are almost completely reliant on palm oil feedstocks for the surfactants or soaps that provide cleansing and conditioning. Yet, there is considerable risk in moving to alternative feedstocks for new surfactant formulations, where the design rules based in fundamental colloid science do not yet exist. In collaboration with world leading formulation expertise, this project aims to use a combination of high-throughput microfluidic platforms to direct more detailed colloidal, surface and scattering techniques to drive mechanistic studies to link microstructure to formulation properties. This will lead to the design rules needed to control the synergistic interactions between surfactants and polymers in these formulations.

个人护理产品几乎完全依赖棕榈油原料来提供表面活性剂或肥皂来提供清洁和调理作用。然而，转向新表面活性剂配方的替代原料存在相当大的风险，因为基于基础胶体科学的设计规则尚不存在。该项目旨在与世界领先的配方专业知识合作，利用高通量微流体平台的组合来指导更详细的胶体、表面和散射技术，以推动机制研究，将微观结构与配方特性联系起来。这将导致控制这些配方中表面活性剂和聚合物之间的协同相互作用所需的设计规则。
