First-principles prediction of microemulsion formulation properties

Predicting (Micro)emulsion formulation properties Using First-Principles Calculations

Our goal is to develop a new method for predicting (micro)emulsion phase diagrams from first principles, based on density functional theory (DFT) and COSMO-RS theory.

The proposed method will be used to understand and predict fundamental multi-phase behavior of surfactant-oil-water systems including dynamic emulsion behavior such as stability over time.

Our method will provide a valuable tool for chemical and biochemical product formulators, in industry and academia.
