Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
To apply surface X-ray scattering techniques using the new facility funded from SERC's process engineering committee's equipment initiative (Grant GR/F/73724) in an examination of the nature of solid-liquid molecular interactions taking place on particulate surfaces during growth and dissolution processes. In particular, we wish to address how such surface interactions differ from interactions taking place in the bulk solution, how they differ as a function of crystal orientation and whether the particulate undergoes surface reconstruction during the growth process. The planned work envisages studies of two model crystal systems; benzophenone (organic) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (inorganic) with the aim of characterising insitu the kind of interfacial systems that are likely to be important in materials processing. Structural data so obtained will be used to predict particle size and shape under realistic preparative conditions.
