Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat (2023)
Journal Article
Nguyen Quang Le, T., Robertson, K., Escribà-Gelonch, M., Marschner, P., Nghiep Tran, N., Williams, P. M., …Hessel, V. (2023). Microflow synthesis of a formulation of phosphorus fertiliser to enhance the P content in soil and P uptake in wheat. Green Chemistry, 25(22), 9422-9437. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3gc02859c

Highly soluble commercial phosphorus (P) fertilisers have been the most common form of P applied in agriculture for decades, but their releasing efficiency can be low because phosphate ions can easily bind with cations in the soil to form precipitate...

Generation and Characterization of a Library of Novel Biologically Active Functional Surfactants (Surfmers) Using Combined High-Throughput Methods (2021)
Journal Article
Cuzzucoli Crucitti, V., Contreas, L., Taresco, V., Howard, S. C., Dundas, A. A., Limo, M. J., …Irvine, D. J. (2021). Generation and Characterization of a Library of Novel Biologically Active Functional Surfactants (Surfmers) Using Combined High-Throughput Methods. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 13(36), 43290-43300. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.1c08662

We report the first successful combination of three distinct high-throughput techniques to deliver the accelerated design, synthesis, and property screening of a library of novel, bio-instructive, polymeric, comb-graft surfactants. These three-dimens... Read More about Generation and Characterization of a Library of Novel Biologically Active Functional Surfactants (Surfmers) Using Combined High-Throughput Methods.

Droplet Microfluidic Optimisation Using Micropipette Characterisation of Bio-Instructive Polymeric Surfactants (2021)
Journal Article
Henshaw, C. A., Dundas, A. A., Cuzzucoli Crucitti, V., Alexander, M. R., Wildman, R., Rose, F. R. A. J., …Williams, P. M. (2021). Droplet Microfluidic Optimisation Using Micropipette Characterisation of Bio-Instructive Polymeric Surfactants. Molecules, 26(11), Article 3302. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules26113302

Droplet microfluidics can produce highly tailored microparticles whilst retaining monodispersity. However, these systems often require lengthy optimisation, commonly based on a trial-and-error approach, particularly when using bio-instructive, polyme...

Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Robson, D., Cappelletti, C., Segal, J., Williams, P., & Szewczyk, N. (2020). Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments. In Advances in the Astronautical Sciences Fifth IAA Conference on University Satellite Missions and CubeSat Workshop 2020 (189-196)

Undertaking biology experiments in space is a necessary and important part of understanding evolution, adaption, and ageing, and crucial to the enablement of safe human exploration away from Earth. Access to space, however, is difficult, costly and r... Read More about Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments.
