University of Bristol -School of Chemistry
School of Chemistry - (Please also see http://nanos3.eu/home)
Supervisors: Dr Wuge Briscoe (School of Chemistry, University of Bristol)
Dynamics and fluidity of interfacial water layers
The viscoelastic properties and fluidity of thin liquid layers separating two surfaces will be elucidated for surfaces interacting with i) short-range repulsive forces mediated by monovalent and multivalent cations, ii) attractive interactions (e.g. hydrophobic forces); and iii) for surface carrying thermoresponsive block copolymers and other hierarchical polymer constructs such as polymersomes and polyelectrolyte-liposome complexes.
The researcher will be supervised by Dr. Wuge Briscoe at University of Bristol and co-supervised by Prof. Per Claesson at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. The researcher will be enrolled as a Chemistry PhD student and based at Bristol University but secondments are planned to P&G UK. The researcher will also interact closely with Dr. Massimo Antognozzi at Bristol Physics on the AFM with vertical cantilevers. The researcher will liaise with researchers at the other partners in the NanoS3 ITN, in particular with groups at the KTH Stockholm, University of Oslo and Durham University, and will benefit from an extensive training programme in scientific, technical and generic skills.
