Funded Activity Summary

De-risking new surfactant and polymer classes in personal care formulations. 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.
