Journal Article

Four-arm star poly(ε-caprolactone) with a central poly(ethylene glycol) PEG unit bridged with 2,2-bis(methyl) propionic acid, (PCL)2-b-PEG-b-(PCL)2, and six-arm star PCL homopolymer with a central dipentaerythritol units were hydrolysed using a lipas...

Assessing the transferability of common top-down and bottom-up coarse-grained molecular models for molecular mixtures (2018)
Journal Article

The performance of three methods for developing new coarse-grained models for molecular simulation is critically assessed. Two bottom-up approaches are employed: iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) and the multiscale coarse-graining method (MS-CG), u...

The permeability of columnar jointed lava (2019)
Journal Article

Columnar jointed lava is an important facies in many geothermal reservoir systems. The permeability of jointed lavas is dominated by the contribution from fracture networks. We use a scaling for the permeability of a set of fractures in a solid or po... Read More about The permeability of columnar jointed lava.

Bacterial sensors define intracellular free energies for correct enzyme metalation (2019)
Journal Article

There is a challenge for metalloenzymes to acquire their correct metals because some inorganic elements form more stable complexes with proteins than do others. These preferences can be overcome provided some metals are more available than others. Ho... Read More about Bacterial sensors define intracellular free energies for correct enzyme metalation.

Controlling Fragment Competition on Pathways to Addressable Self-Assembly (2018)
Journal Article

Addressable self-assembly is the formation of a target structure from a set of unique molecular or colloidal building-blocks, each of which occupies a defined location in the target. The requirement that each type of building-block appears exactly on... Read More about Controlling Fragment Competition on Pathways to Addressable Self-Assembly.

Molecular Recognition-Mediated Transformation of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles into Crosslinked Polymer Films (2017)
Journal Article

We describe single‐chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) possessing intramolecular dynamic covalent crosslinks that can transform into polymer films through a molecular recognition‐mediated crosslinking process. The SCNPs utilise molecular recognition... Read More about Molecular Recognition-Mediated Transformation of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles into Crosslinked Polymer Films.

A ‘catch-and-release’ receptor for the cholera toxin (2019)
Journal Article

Stimuli-responsive receptors for the recognition unit of the cholera toxin (CTB) have been prepared by attaching multiple copies of its natural carbohydrate ligand, the GM1 oligosaccharide, to a thermoresponsive polymer scaffold. Below their lower cr... Read More about A ‘catch-and-release’ receptor for the cholera toxin.

Combined effusive-explosive silicic volcanism straddles the multiphase viscous-to-brittle transition (2018)
Journal Article

Magma is a viscoelastic fluid that can support fracture propagation when local shear stresses are high, or relax and flow when shear stresses are low. Here we present experiments to confirm this using synthetic and natural magmatic liquids across eru...

A non-destructive method to calibrate the torsional spring constant of atomic force microscope cantilevers in viscous environments (2018)
Journal Article

Calibration of the torsional spring constant of atomic force microscopy cantilevers is fundamental to a range of applications, from nanoscale friction and lubrication measurements to the characterization of micro-electromechanical systems and the res...

Investigating the effect of supramolecular gel phase crystallization on gel nucleation (2018)
Journal Article

Supramolecular gel phase crystallization offers a new strategy for drug polymorph screening and discovery. In this method, the crystallization outcome depends on the interaction between solute and gel fibre. While supramolecular gels have shown succe...

Upscaling permeability in anisotropic volcanic systems (2018)
Journal Article

Permeability is an important input to models of shallow magma ascent. It is a property that can exhibit anisotropy in volcanic magmas, rocks and edifices. Here we show that some important features of permeability anisotropy can be captured by a simpl... Read More about Upscaling permeability in anisotropic volcanic systems.

In-situ molecular-level observation of methanol catalysis at the water-graphite interface (2018)
Journal Article

Methanol occupies a central role in chemical synthesis and is considered an ideal candidate for cleaner fuel storage and transportation. It can be catalyzed from water and volatile organic compounds such as carbon dioxide, thereby offering an attract...

Harnessing energy landscape exploration to control the buckling of cylindrical shells (2019)
Journal Article

Even for relatively simple thin shell morphologies, many di↵erent buckled configurations can be stable simultaneously. Which state is observed in practice is highly sensitive to both environmental perturbations and shell imperfections. The complexity...

Dynamic Vorticity Banding in Discontinuously Shear Thickening Suspensions (2018)
Journal Article

It has recently been argued that steady-state vorticity bands cannot arise in shear thickening suspensions because the normal stress imbalance across the interface between the bands will set up particle migrations. In this Letter, we develop a simple... Read More about Dynamic Vorticity Banding in Discontinuously Shear Thickening Suspensions.

Fabrication of monolayers of uniform polymeric particles by inkjet printing of monodisperse emulsions produced by microfluidics (2019)
Journal Article

Emulsion solvent evaporation is a well-established method for generating microparticles from solutions of polymers in volatile organic solvents dispersed in an aqueous medium. Previous work has shown that this approach can also be used to deposit par...

Morphological analysis of chiral rod clusters from a coarse-grained single-site chiral potential (2019)
Journal Article

We present a coarse-grained single-site potential for simulating chiral interactions, with adjustable strength, handedness, and preferred twist angle. As an application, we perform basin-hopping global optimisation to predict the favoured geometries...

Clusterization-triggered emission: Uncommon luminescence from common materials (2020)
Journal Article

π-Conjugated chromophores have been investigated for many years and successful theoretical models have been developed to explain their photophysical properties. However, materials have appeared sporadically that do not fit within these existing model... Read More about Clusterization-triggered emission: Uncommon luminescence from common materials.
