This project aims to design surfactants for applications in agriculture and energy, and the science needed to understand and deploy them. New molecules have been designed based around the versatile betaine core, and their synthesis could allow a systematic understanding of the relationships between molecular architecture, effectiveness and self-assembly behaviour. This strategy will use molecules that can respond to light to understand why certain molecules tend to form valuable viscoelastic fluids. When used to form complex fluids with unique properties, these surfactants could be used as lubricants, dispersants and energy fluids for use as drilling lubricants, texture modifiers in personal care products, and dispersants in agrochemicals.

该项目旨在设计用于农业和能源的表面活性剂，以及理解和部署它们所需的科学知识。围绕多功能甜菜碱核心设计了新的分子，它们的合成可以系统地理解分子结构、有效性和自组装行为之间的关系。这一策略将使用能够对光做出反应的分子来理解为什么某些分子倾向于形成有价值的粘弹性流体。当用于形成具有独特性质的复合液时，这些表面活性剂可用作润滑剂、分散剂和能量液，用于钻井润滑剂、个人护理产品的质构改进剂和农用化学品的分散剂。
