The AnnaLab Website

From the CCFE website: “Six CFE faculty (Prieve, Walker, Sides, Anna, Schneider and Khair) are involved in new projects funded by Dow. Two projects in the general area of Organic Suspension Stability will focus on fundamental aspects of the important area of colloidal stability in non-aqueous fluids. For the next five years, Electrostatics in organic media and Characterization techniques for Stability in Organic Media will be projects and areas of interest within CFE.”
