Adoption of virtual reality within construction processes: A factor analysis approach (2006)
Journal Article
Fernandes, K., Raja, V., White, A., & Tsinopoulos, C. (2006). Adoption of virtual reality within construction processes: A factor analysis approach. Technovation, 26(1), 111-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.technovation.2004.07.013

Globalization has allowed construction companies to become part of the global economy. However, this economic survival is dependent on their ability to attain the levels of technology development, which can make them globally competitive. The UK Cons...

Adsorption kinetics in micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants (2005)
Journal Article
Colegate, D., & Bain, C. (2005). Adsorption kinetics in micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants. Physical Review Letters, 95(19), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.95.198302

Standard models of the adsorption kinetics of surfactants at the air-water surface assume that micelles break down into monomers in the bulk solution and that only monomers adsorb. We show here that micelles of the nonionic surfactant C14E8 adsorb to... Read More about Adsorption kinetics in micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants.

Surfactant-induced surface freezing at the alkane-water interface (2004)
Journal Article
Lei, Q., & Bain, C. (2004). Surfactant-induced surface freezing at the alkane-water interface. Physical Review Letters, 92(17), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.92.176103

Long-chain alkanes exhibit surface freezing at the alkane-air but not the alkane-water interface. Ellipsometry and surface tensiometry are used to show that a simple cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), can induce surface f...

Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments (2003)
Journal Article
Battal, T., Bain, C., Weiss, M., & Darton, R. (2003). Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 263(1), 250-260. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0021-9797%2803%2900253-4

The adsorption of surfactants at an expanding liquid surface has been studied in a gravity-driven laminar water jet with Reynolds numbers in the range from 1000 to 2000. Surface concentrations of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) were deduc... Read More about Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments.
