Additional information
The work reported here showed that detergent manufacture, a major part of Unilever’s worldwide business, is dependent on relative humidity due to the wetting properties of the reactive binder used. It explained problems Unilever experienced in the manufacturing process when carried out in humid countries, such as India. The work received first prize for the Young Researcher of the Year at the UK Particle Technology Forum 2007, and was funded entirely by Unilever, following previous consultancy projects on binder wettability. The student, Sarah Germaná, was employed by Unilever’s rival, Procter & Gamble, as a result of relevant conference presentations.
