We are recruiting for a PhD student to work on the following project — Simulation-led investigation of the structure-property relationships of conjugated polymers Conjugated polymers are used in a range of applications including bioimaging/sensing [1,2]. Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) are formed using capping agents to provide stable and soluble conjugated …
In our recent manuscript, we provide new fundamental insights into the microscopic structure of linear and four-arm block copolymers (members of the Pluronic and Tetronic families, respectively). The Pluronics and Tetronics typically self-assemble into small micelles in aqueous solution, which have found societally important applications in biomaterials and drug delivery. …
In our recent manuscript we elucidate vital information into how the interactions between a surfactant and a lipid effect the internal structure and morphology of the nanoparticles that they form. In doing so, we implement machine learning techniques alongside small angle neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to provide …
Congratulations to Demi Pink for being awarded the inaugural Jacky Pallas Memorial Award. This award is memory of Jacky Pallas, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year. Jacky was someone that I had the pleasure to interact with on several occasions in her role as head of e-Research …
