3D printing of five-in-one dose combination polypill with defined immediate and sustained release profiles (2015)
Journal Article
Khaled, S. A., Burley, J. C., Alexander, M. R., Yang, J., & Roberts, C. J. (in press). 3D printing of five-in-one dose combination polypill with defined immediate and sustained release profiles. Journal of Controlled Release, 217, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconrel.2015.09.028

We have used three dimensional (3D) extrusion printing to manufacture a multi-active solid dosage form or so called polypill. This contains five compartmentalised drugs with two independently controlled and well-defined release profiles. This polypil...

Facile approach to generating polymeric nanoarrays containing populations of nanoparticles (2015)
Journal Article
Marques, L., Chen, X., Roberts, C. J., Clark, M., & Aylott, J. W. (2015). Facile approach to generating polymeric nanoarrays containing populations of nanoparticles. Micro and Nano Letters, 10(8), 378-383. doi:10.1049/mnl.2015.0041

The production of nanoarrays containing a population of entrapped, heterogeneous nanoparticles is reported. The nanoarray consists of a nanoporous film with pores of diameter 60-180 nm, formed from the phase separation of two immiscible polymers: pol...

Electrospray deposition in vacuum as method to create functionally active protein immobilization on polymeric substrates (2015)
Journal Article
Fornari, E., Roberts, C. J., Temperton, R. H., & O’Shea, J. N. (2015). Electrospray deposition in vacuum as method to create functionally active protein immobilization on polymeric substrates. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 453, 252-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis.2015.05.007

We demonstrate in this work the deposition of a large biological molecule (fibronectin) on polymeric substrates in a high vacuum environment using an electrospray deposition system. Fibronectin was deposited and its distribution and structure investi...

Analysis of leaf surfaces using scanning ion conductance microscopy (2015)
Journal Article
Walker, S. C., Allen, S., Bell, G., & Roberts, C. J. (2015). Analysis of leaf surfaces using scanning ion conductance microscopy. Journal of Microscopy, 258(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.12225

Leaf surfaces are highly complex functional systems with well defined chemistry and structure dictating the barrier and transport properties of the leaf cuticle. It is a significant imaging challenge to analyse the very thin and often complex wax-lik... Read More about Analysis of leaf surfaces using scanning ion conductance microscopy.

Characterisation of human saliva as a platform for oral dissolution medium development (2015)
Journal Article
Gittings, S., Turnbull, N., Henry, B., Roberts, C. J., & Gershkovich, P. (2015). Characterisation of human saliva as a platform for oral dissolution medium development. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 91, 16-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2015.01.007

Human saliva is a biological fluid of great importance in the field of dissolution testing. However, until now, no consensus has been reached on its key characteristics relevant to dissolution testing. As a result, it is difficult to select or develo...
