Lund University Faculty of Science Chemical Center

 

 
Research at the division of Physical Chemistry 1 deals with surface and colloid science with strong links between experiment and theory. Central areas of research are surfactant self-assembly, polymers in solutions, and gels and polymer interactions with surfactants. Investigations of disperse systems as well as adsorption to various interfaces are also carried out. The main experimental techniques comprise nuclear magnetic resonance, ellipsometry, scattering techniques, surface force measurements, AFM and electron microscopy. Theoretical approaches include computer simulations and modeling of phase equilibria, colloid particle solutions, and electrostatic interactions.
