Student's final year project published in scientific journal
Thursday 22 December 2011
Recent Surrey Physics graduate, Brian Fraser, is a co-author on a publication in an international scientific journal.
In Brian's final year project, which contributed to his BSc degree, he used the optical technique of ellipsometry to study the deposition of alternating films of silica nanoparticles and polymers.
The results of Brian's project were included in an article published recently in Langmuir, a publication of the American Chemical Society.
Brian used the laboratory of Surrey's Soft Matter Physics Group for his project in collaboration with researchers at the University of Reading.
The research has potential applications in pharmaceutical systems for the delivery of drugs.
