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.

Impact of cold plasma on the biomolecules and organoleptic properties of foods: A review (2021)
Journal Article
Warne, G. R., Williams, P. M., Quoc Pho, H., Nghiep Tran, N., Hessel, V., & Fisk, I. D. (2021). Impact of cold plasma on the biomolecules and organoleptic properties of foods: A review. Journal of Food Science, 86(9), 3762-3777. https://doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.15856

Cold plasma is formed by the nonthermal ionisation of gas into free electrons, ions, reactive atomic and molecular species, and UV radiation. This cold plasma can be used to alter the surface of solid and liquid foods, and it offers multiple advantag...

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., Irvine, D. 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...

Immunity in space: prokaryote adaptations and immune response in microgravity (2021)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Aylott, J. W., Williams, P., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., & Williams, P. M. (2021). Immunity in space: prokaryote adaptations and immune response in microgravity. Life, 11(2), Article 112. https://doi.org/10.3390/life11020112

Immune dysfunction has long been reported by medical professionals regarding astronauts suffering from opportunistic infections both during their time in space and a short period afterwards once back on Earth. Various species of prokaryotes onboard t... Read More about Immunity in space: prokaryote adaptations and immune response in microgravity.
