New paper out in Journal of Materials Chemistry B. We developed FRET-enabled lipid nanoparticles that allow real-time tracking of nanoparticle integrity, revealing distinct dissolution stages. This approach provides valuable insights for drug delivery.

It has been a really interesting day at the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging celebration event. I've very much enjoyed hearing about the outputs across all 10 of the projects. – at Southampton, England
Recycled plastics offer a considerable opportunity to reduce the environmental footprint of plastic packaging. Our recent paper looks at factors controlling the quality of recycled HDPE, a critical area to improve the sustainability of packaging.

In Andy's (@MclauchlinAndy) paper, in collaboration with Unilever, we explore boosting post-consumer resin (PCR) in rigid packaging. We show that by using informed blending approaches can provide significant improvements in the bottle properties of PCR.

Edyta (@elewand90) and Dom's (@DrDomGray) paper on the using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) to characterise the degradation of core-shell nanogels is now available. AF4 is a very useful for looking at nanoparticle degradation behaviour.

Really well done to Cameron Hogarth @Cameron_Hogarth for passing his PhD viva today with minor corrections! Many thanks to @njwarren1 and @TomHasell for examining Cameron's work. – at Liverpool, England
Another paper by former PhD student Heba Elkateb is out now. Her research on high drug loading lipid-based nanoparticles in JCIS Open showcases the use of a nanoprecipitation method to produce SLNs, NLCs, and nanoemulsions with high drug loadings.

A paper from former PhD student Nancy Elbaz's work has been published in Food Hydrocolloids, showing the potential of layer-by-layer modification on a nanosuspension to influence the drug release behaviour of the nanoparticles.

After nearly 14 years, today marks my last day at the University of Liverpool. Grateful for the experience, friendships, and knowledge gained during my time here. Best wishes to my colleagues and looking forward to staying connected!
Next stop University of Manchester!

I am a chemist that LOVES polymers and biologists!! Come and join us for this fully funded #PhDposition, which is an exciting collaborative project with direct industry involvement! Please contact me if you are interested and see the full info in the link below.
Are you a chemist who likes polymers and biologists?! Come and do a PhD with me, @RoslynBill @MattDerry90 and Paul Topham @AstonUniversity. findaphd.com/phds/project/no…
Our review on nanomedicines for the treatment of preterm birth has just be published. Preterm birth is a huge global issue and nanomedicine offers many opportunities to improve its treatment. This article comes for Jess Taylor's PhD work.
