Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description | we discovered that non-ionic chromonics show a subtlely different mode of phase assembly when compared to ionic chromoncs, This has potential impact on the users of chromonic systems such as in pharmaceutical industry or in the display industry. |
Exploitation Route | design of new more complex and advanced systems |
Sectors | Chemicals,Electronics,Energy,Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
Description | Collaboration with industry on chromonic materials has been initiated; however due to restructuring at the industrial collaborator (outsourcing of staff) and refocus these efforts were put on hold for the time being. |
