Journal Article
Chen, M., Parsons, A. J., Felfel, R. M., Rudd, C. D., Irvine, D. J., & Ahmed, I. (2016). In-situ polymerisation of fully bioresorbable polycaprolactone/phosphate glass fibre composites: In vitro degradation and mechanical properties. Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 59, 78-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2015.12.019

Fully bioresorbable composites have been investigated in order to replace metal implant plates used for hard tissue repair. Retention of the composite mechanical properties within a physiological environment has been shown to be significantly affecte...

Molecular Design of Squalene/Squalane Countertypes via the Controlled Oligomerization of Isoprene and Evaluation of Vaccine Adjuvant Applications. Biomacromolecules, 17(1), 165-172. doi:10.1021/acs.biomac.5b01285

The potential to replace shark-derived squalene in vaccine adjuvant applications with synthetic squalene/poly(isoprene) oligomers, synthesized by the controlled oligomerization of isoprene is demonstrated. Following on from our previous work regardin...

Macromolecules that possess three-dimensional, branched molecular structures are of great interest because they exhibit significantly differentiated application performance compared to conventional linear (straight chain) polymers. This paper reports... Read More about Molecular differentiated initiator reactivity in the synthesis of poly(caprolactone)-based hydrophobic homopolymer and amphiphilic core corona star polymers.

A continuous flow hydrothermal synthetic route which allows the direct “in situ” capping/coating of hydroxyapatite nanoplates with functional dispersants in a single stage is reported. The methodology induced crystallisation by rapid mixing of stream... Read More about Continuous synthesis of dispersant-coated hydroxyapatite plates.
