The elucidation of the compositional profile inside the polymer nanoparticles is of critical importance for applications such as water processable organic solar cells. In order... -
Probing membrane localisation of molecular rotors
A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We... -
Centrifugal Force Spun Fibres
Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short... -
Structural development in Whey protein polymer composite solutions for electr...
This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we... -
Unlocking Structure-Property Relationships in Composite Semiconducting Nanopa...
Colloidal dispersions of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promise for the generation of active layers in organic solar cells.Composite NPs containing a... -
Origin of co-nonsolvency, based on the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters o...
Co-solvency and Co-nonsolvency are two extreme phenomena in the field of polymer solution. The former is the phenomenon that a mixture of two nonsolvent forms a good solvent for... -

Investigating the Influence of Polymer Properties on Cyclic Peptide-Polymer C...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Structural characterization of a series of polymer-protein conjugates for chr...
Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for... -
Mesophase transition induced by nanoparticles
In a previous SAXS experiment at Max-Lab (Sweden) we observed that the thermotropic mesophase transitional behaviour of the monoolein(MO):cholesterol:water system was... -
Investigation of zwitterionic surfactant, Ca2+ and bio-polymer interactions
We are currently investigating the formation and structure of surfactant-templated polymer films comprised of cat-anionic surfactant mixtures and a variety of polymers. As we... -
Optimising chemical structure of CO2-philic hybrid surfactants for stabilisin...
The proposal aims to explore water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions with very promising hybridCO2-philic surfactants. The surfactants have been systematically synthesised... -
Cellulose-based polyelectrolytes for microencapsulation: conformational trans...
Addition of multivalent salts to water soluble polyelectrolytes, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), induces conformational change to the polyelectrolyte structure,... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Manipulation of the aggregate curvature in water/dense CO2 system
This proposal aims to investigate how the curvature of surfactant assemblies in water/dense CO2 systems can be tuned via the design and mixing of CO2-phillic surfactants. One... -

In-situ devitrification of a Zr-based metallic glass (Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5...
Metallic glasses are alloys that do not exhibit long-range order. Samples of AMZ4 metallic glass (Zr59.3 Cu28.8 Al10.4 Nb1.5) have been produced using two different methods,... -
Ionic Liquid Aggregation in Polymers
Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting... -
DNA unwinding mechanism of the archaeal helicase PabMCM
The process of cell division requires precise duplication of the genetic material. The separation of the two strands of DNA and the progression of the replisome are driven by...
