Rheology and Rheological Techniques
| Rheology Research Center
www.engr.wisc.edu/centers/rrc/ |
This page is an excellent starting point for finding rheology resources on the web. It has also has many links to interesting rheological images and animations located on other sites. |
| Extensional
Rheology stokes.harvard.edu/nonnewtonian/ extension/ |
An interesting web site that describes extensional rheology and the advantages of performing experiments in the space shuttle's microgravity environment. The site also contains movies of extensional rheology experiments. |
| Fluid Mechanics Links
http://www.ecr.mu.oz.au/~chemeng/linksfm.htm |
Contains various links to research institutes, rheological societies, and companies selling rheological equipment. |
| Bristol
Colloid Laboratory www.tlchm.bris.ac.uk/goodwin/ |
Professor Goodwin's web page contains descriptions of his group's unique research activities on psycho-rheology and latex particle interactions with cement, as well as more standard rheological studies. |
Scattering
| Synchrotron
and X-ray Scattering Home Page www.aps.anl.gov/offsite.html |
The counterpart of the Neutron Scattering Home Page for synchrotron and x-ray resources. |
NMR
| DYANA
Dynamics Algorithms for NMR Application www.mol.biol.ethz.ch/wuthrich/ software/dyana/ |
Peter Guntert and Christian Mumenthaler's programs for analyzing the results of dynamic NMR experiments are presented together with an introduction and a brief and currently incomplete tutorial. |
Colloids and Interfaces Laboratory Homepages
| Max-Planck
Institute of Colloids and Interfaces www.mpikg-golm.mpg.de/kc/ frontseite_eng.html |
This page has links to the web pages of the colloid chemisitry, interface, and theory divisions of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. The default pages are in German, but check for English versions. Unfortunately, some of the pages describing their research activities are still "under construction". |
| Physical
Chemistry at Lund www.fkem1.lu.se/ |
University of Lund's physical chemistry web page contains informative descriptions of their theoretical and experimental research projects that study the self assembly and interaction of surfactants with polymers and surfaces. |
| Physical
chemistry in Uppsala www.fki.uu.se/ |
Contains a comprehensive description of the GENDIST program for analyzing dynamic light scattering data using the REPES algorithm. The program does not seem to be available for download. |
| UPenn
Soft Condensed Matter Group dept.physics.upenn.edu/softphysics/ |
The soft condensed matter group of the University of Pennsylvania has an exceptionally nice web page with pictures and descriptions their research in colloids, liquid crystals, membranes, multiple scattering, polymer physics, and statistical mechanics. |
| Colloid and
Surface Science Laboratory colloid.che.tulane.edu/ |
Dr. Papadopoulos's research group's laboratory home page has video clips of latex particles and glass fibers under the influence of fields. Video clips showing the stability of n-hexadecane drops under various conditions are also available. |
| SFA
Laboratory www.chemengr.ucsb.edu/ ~sfalab/index.html |
The experimental apparatus and methods used in the surface forces laboratory of Prof. Jacob Israelachvili are illustrated in this excellent web site. The wide range of projects being pursued using these experimental techniques are described. The interesting concept of Friction Phase Diagrams is also explained. |
Food Colloids
| The
Food Resource 1 osu.orst.edu/food-resource/ information/index.html The Food Resource 2 www.orst.edu/instruct/ nfm235/index.html |
These sites sponsored by Oregon State University have a wealth of information on food science. From the first web site that contains many useful links, one can navigate to the second site that describes food emulsions in great detail. In general, these are simple sites that have remarkable scientific and practical content. |
Foams and Aerosols
| Two-phase
Flow and Foaming www.eng.ox.ac.uk/World/Research/ Summary/B-Twophaseflow.html |
This web page on the studies being performed concerning two-phase flow and foaming is only a small subset of the research activities being undertaken in the Engineering Science Department of the University of Oxford. |
Microscopy
| Light
Microscopy - Beyond the limits of optical resolution www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/~bbs/ whatis/light_mi.html |
This excellent web page briefly narrates the history of the light microscope and how diffraction limitations on optical resolution in microscopy has been overcomed using fluorescence microscopy. Special techniques such as total internal reflection microscopy and two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy that further enhance capabilities of fluorescence microscopy are also described. |
Phase Diagrams/Phase Behavior
| Global
Phase diagrams www.uni-koeln.de/math-nat-fak/ phchem/deiters/persons/ globass/globass.html |
This page summarizes the calculation of phase diagrams using two equation of states. Check out the "list of all pages" link which has a very nice diagrammatic glossary of phase diagrams. |
General Surfactant Web Pages
| Huibers
List of Surfactant Science Web Sites www.surfactants.net |
Dr. Paul Huibers has compiled a very comprehensive list of links to the web pages of companies, book publishers, professional societies, conferences, people, software, etc. that are related to surfactant science. |
Software
