Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment (2012)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Chang, C.-Y., Yang, J., Luckett, J., Cockayne, A., Atkinson, S., …Alexander, M. R. (2012). Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment. Nature Biotechnology, 30(9), 868-875. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt.2316

Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation pose key challenges to the optimal performance of medical devices. In this study, we determined the attachment of selected bacterial species to hundreds of polymeric materials in a high-throughput...

Polymers with hydro-responsive topography identified using high throughput AFM of an acrylate microarray (2011)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Yang, J., Chen, X., Roberts, C. J., Mei, Y., Anderson, D. G., …Davies, M. C. (2011). Polymers with hydro-responsive topography identified using high throughput AFM of an acrylate microarray. Soft Matter, 7, https://doi.org/10.1039/c1sm06063e

Atomic force microscopy has been applied to an acrylate polymer microarray to achieve a full topographic characterisation. This process discovered a small number of hydro-responsive materials created from monomers with disparate hydrophilicities that...

High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery (2010)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Anderson, D. G., Langer, R., Williams, P., Davies, M. C., & Alexander, M. R. (2010). High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery. Biomaterials, 31(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2009.09.037

The high throughput discovery of new materials can be achieved by rapidly screening many different materials synthesised by a combinatorial approach to identify the optimal material that fulfils a particular biomedical application. Here we review the... Read More about High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery.
