How does dense phase CO2 influence the phase behaviour of block copolymers synthesised by dispersion polymerisation? (2015)
Journal Article
Block copolymers synthesised in supercritical CO2 dispersion undergo in situ self-assembly which can result in a range of nanostructured microparticles. However, our previous study revealed that copolymers with different block combinations possessed...

Physisorption controls the conformation and density of states of an adsorbed porphyrin (2015)
Journal Article
Conformational changes caused by adsorption can dramatically affect a molecule’s properties. Despite extensive study, however, the exact mechanisms underpinning conformational switching are often unclear. Here we show that the conformation of a proto...
