Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Studies in Novel Surfactants (IUCS) was established in 1998 by the Henry Krumb School, Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry and Department of Chemistry at Columbia University. |
| The center
encompasses detailed structure-property assessment of several classes
of surface active molecules including oligomeric, polymeric, and bio-molecules.
The aim of the IUCS is to develop and characterize novel surfactants
for industrial applications such as coatings, dispersions, deposition,
gas hydrate control, personal care products, soil decontamination,
waste treatment, corrosion prevention, flotation and controlled chemical
reactions. Our proposed research thus focuses on the design and development
of specialty surfactants, characterization of their solution and interfacial
behavior and identification of suitable industrial applications for
these materials. |
