Ben Humphreys

►  instrument responsible on D17

Main areas of expertise : I am a polymer, colloid and surface scientist with experience studying responsive polymer brushes and the lipolysis of thin triglyceride films. I am particularly interested in the effects of environmental changes such as temperature and pH on these systems and how additives and reaction products such as salt and osmolytes can influence their behavior.
