- Additional information
- High-temperature oil thickening was achieved using block copolymer vesicles in mineral oil that undergo a thermally-induced vesicle-to-worm morphological transition. This work formed part of a research portfolio recognised by the SCI with their Formulation Forum Award 2020, jointly awarded to scientists at the University and Lubrizol. This work has been taken in-house and developed by Lubrizol (Lubrizol, Technology Manager) and has resulted in the filing of 2 patent applications (WO2019005680 and W02019005738). A commercial additive package utilising such developed technology is expected to be commercialised in 2020/2021.
