Self-assembly of protein polymer conjugates: Effect of copolymer structure
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation or crosslinking resulting in lack of... -
Mixing of phospholipids and block copolymers in a polymersome membrane
We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we... -
A Time-Resolved SANS Study of the Gelation Mechanisms of Tetrapeptide Hydroge...
Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials... -
Lipid-polymer nanodiscs: Effects of tail length
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) stabilized lipid nanodiscs have a... -
Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUF) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agents...
