Summary on Grant Application Form
For the first time we have an experimental technique, neutron reflection, that can determine the composition and key structural parameters of surfactant mixtures adsorbed at interfaces. We propose to use the technique for a thorough study of four systems which would form the basis of a predictive model, more soundly based than any presently available.
