Additional information
Culmination of EPSRC grant (EP/D061326/1). This work challenged classical theory and developed a new approach to tailoring disjoining pressures using multivalent ions. Led to collaboration and publication with Princeton (DOI: 10.1557/jmr.2011.137) and Hamilton's visiting position at Princeton. A leading figure in the field, Prof. George Scherer, wrote the following: “This is a beautiful piece of work that I always cite as the most direct demonstration of the existence and magnitude of the disjoining pressure in salt/mineral systems. Not only was the experiment elegant, but the analysis was rigorous and thorough” (scherer@princeton.edu).
