Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...

Hydrogels from biopolymers are attracting increasing attention for a range of biomedical applications, but the lack of structural understanding hinders the development of new...

Electrospinning is a technique which produces fibres from a polymer solution exposed to an electric field. The technique forms fibres substantially smaller in diameter than a...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the...

Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide...

We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for biomedical applications. Recently, we have conjugated a...

Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...

In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength...
