In this work, we elucidate the pH-directed self-assembly of Tetronic 304 (T304), a four-arm block copolymer. T304, as the smallest member of the Tetronics family, acts as an ideal testing ground to probe the underlying mechanisms that determine the self-assembly behaviour of this important class of polymers, which are of …
Bile salts (BS) are biosurfactants released into the small intestine, which play key and contrasting roles in lipid digestion: they adsorb at interfaces and promote the adsorption of digestive enzymes onto fat droplets, while they also remove lipolysis products from that interface, solubilising them into mixed micelles. Small architectural variations …
During the summer of 2019, prior to my final year of Mathematics (BSc), I was fortunate enough to be awarded an undergraduate fellowship at Kings College London, in the Department of Physics to work on molecular dynamics simulation. Firstly, I would like to express gratitude to my supervisors, Dr Chris …
(From 5 August until 16 August, we had the pleasure to have two young women, Sarah and Mariam, who are entering year 13, join our group for a summer placement sponsored by In2Science UK. During their placement, Sarah and Mariam worked with Demi Pink on an aspect of her PhD …
