Cyclic peptides which can self-assemble into long nanotubes provide unique properties which can be tailored for a diverse range of biomedical applications. Recently, we have...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation...

Single chain particles are resulted from the collapse of polymer chain in dilute solution. Their chemistry and morphology can be well controlled, thus serving as ideal model...

Electrospinning is a technique which produces fibres from a polymer solution exposed to an electric field. The technique forms fibres substantially smaller in diameter than a...

These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,...

SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide...

The self-assembly of (cyclic peptide)-polymer conjugates provide a versatile and functional platform for the precise design of polymeric supramolecular nanotubes. Moving the...

We aim use SANS to study in situ structure of solutions of uncharged and charged graphene formed by dissolving graphite and graphite intercalation compounds. We wish to compare...

This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we...

We hope to explore the self assembly properties of a novel chain end functionalised homopolymer to better understand its structure and enable tuning of its properties to enable...

We will study the temperature dependence of carbon nanotubes in solutions using small angle neutron scattering, to investigate in particular the rebundling when the free energy...
