Abstract:

Designing new consumer products like shampoos and paints combines science and maths in intriguing ways. We learn how molecules will stick to surfaces and change surface tension by looking at their chemistry, we measure these properties using neutrons from a nuclear reactor and we use maths to calculate, predict and optimise the performance. We'll look at the experiments we perform, how we analyse the results and how that lets us develop better products.
