Understanding copolymerisation kinetics for the design of functional copolymers via free radical polymerisation (2019)
Journal Article

Determining the monomer sequence distribution of copolymers is important when correlating copolymer molecular structure (random, gradient etc.) to macroscopic/material properties. We report here the relative monomer reactivities for the copolymerisat...

Phase behavior of correlated random copolymers (2021)
Journal Article

In this work, we calculate Flory-Huggins phase diagrams for correlated random copolymers. We achieve it in two steps. At first, we derive a distribution function of two-letter A, B copolymer chains depending on the fraction of A-segments and ABduplet...

Threaded Rings that Swim in Excitable Media (2019)
Journal Article

Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction provide two notable examples of excitable media that support scroll waves, in which a filament core is the source of spiral waves of excitation. Here we consider a novel topological configuration i... Read More about Threaded Rings that Swim in Excitable Media.

Missing Link between Helical Nano‐ and Microfilaments in B4 Phase Bent‐Core Liquid Crystals, and Deciphering which Chiral Center Controls the Filament Handedness (2019)
Journal Article

The range of possible morphologies for bent‐core B4 phase liquid crystals has recently expanded from helical nanofilaments (HNFs) and modulated HNFs to dual modulated HNFs, helical microfilaments, and heliconical‐layered nanocylinders. These new morp... Read More about Missing Link between Helical Nano‐ and Microfilaments in B4 Phase Bent‐Core Liquid Crystals, and Deciphering which Chiral Center Controls the Filament Handedness.

Multicomponent flow on curved surfaces: A vielbein lattice Boltzmann approach (2019)
Journal Article

We develop and implement a novel finite difference lattice Boltzmann scheme to study multicomponent flows on curved surfaces, coupling the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations with the Cahn-Hilliard equation to track the evolution of the binary flu...

Highlights from Faraday Discussion 301: Nanolithography of Biointerfaces, London, UK, July 3–5 2019 (2019)
Journal Article

The 2019 Faraday Discussion on the Nanolithography of Biointerfaces brought together a diverse set of interdisciplinary scientists involved in the seemingly disparate fields of materials science, nanolithography and glycoscience. The setting and form... Read More about Highlights from Faraday Discussion 301: Nanolithography of Biointerfaces, London, UK, July 3–5 2019.

Structure, processing and performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (IUPAC Technical Report). Part 1: characterizing molecular weight (2020)
Journal Article

The aim of this project was to study the efficacy of current methods of quality control and quality assurance for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) products, and find improvements where possible. Intrinsic viscosity (IV) tests were pe... Read More about Structure, processing and performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (IUPAC Technical Report).

In Situ Fabrication of Polymeric Microcapsules by Ink-Jet Printing of Emulsions (2019)
Journal Article

Phase separation driven by solvent evaporation of emulsions can be used to create polymeric microcapsules. The combination of emulsion solvent evaporation with ink-jet printing allows the rapid fabrication of polymeric microcapsules at a target locat...

Learning dynamical information from static protein and sequencing data (2019)
Journal Article

Many complex processes, from protein folding to neuronal network dynamics, can be described as stochastic exploration of a high-dimensional energy landscape. While efficient algorithms for cluster detection in high-dimensional spaces have been develo... Read More about Learning dynamical information from static protein and sequencing data.

Extensive sequential polymorphic interconversion in the solid-state: Two hydrates and ten anhydrous phases of hexamidine diisethionate (2019)
Journal Article

Crystal polymorphism and solvent inclusion is a dominant research area in the pharmaceutical industry and continues to unveil complex systems. Here, we present the solid-state system of hexamidine diisethionate (HDI), an antiseptic drug compound form...

Slow Coarsening in Jammed Athermal Soft Particle Suspensions (2019)
Journal Article

We simulate a densely jammed, athermal assembly of repulsive soft particles immersed in a solvent. Starting from an initial condition corresponding to a quench from a high temperature, we find nontrivial slow dynamics driven by a gradual release of s...

Convective tipping point initiates localization of basaltic fissure eruptions (2020)
Journal Article

Basaltic fissure eruptions may evolve rapidly and unpredictably complicating hazard management. Localization of an elongate fissure to one or more focused vents may take days to months, and depends on fluid dynamic processes, such as thermally-driven...

Can nanolites enhance eruption explosivity? (2020)
Journal Article

Degassing dynamics play a crucial role in controlling the explosivity of magma at erupting volcanoes. Degassing of magmatic water typically involves bubble nucleation and growth, which drive magma ascent. Crystals suspended in magma may influence bot...
