SUMMARY:Responsive polymer-stabilised droplets and the 3D structuring of l
 iquids - Dr Jonathan Weaver\, Imperial College London

CONTACT:Paula Charnock
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some of our recent contr
 ibutions in the field of responsive polymer-stabilised emulsions. I will d
 iscuss a convenient strategy to prepare architecturally and compositionall
 y controlled amphiphilic copolymers and how judicious control of monomer c
 hoice facilitates the direct formation of well-defined\, responsive nanopa
 rticles. The interfacial adsorption behaviour of these particles will be c
 onsidered and the formation of stable oil-in-water droplets described. I w
 ill also discuss the assembly of a new class of soft material - engineered
  emulsions - based on stable functional droplets and a variety of advanced
  liquid-based materials that can be prepared from these materials.\nhttp:/
