📢🧪 @IUPACPolymer @IUPAC members have created posters about #recycling #reducing and #reusing of #polymers. We have had people filling out our short quiz prepared by @Dr_curieosity but we need more! RTs appreciated. See link: https://t.co/UpDcLKzWWU

[Prof Marloes Peeters @peeters_marloes]

📢 Come work with us @materials_dr @JakeMcclements @ISpyridopoulos! We have an #PDRA #postdoc position (9 months) in #device #engineering #sensors advertised @EngineeringNCL:

Did you participate in the #UKPLUABioinspired #conference meeting? There is a chance to have you paper in a special issue on #sustainability. Please contact the organisers if you are interested!

[Prof Marloes Peeters @peeters_marloes]

First paper of @ukplbioinspired #conference special issue! Read about @FengweiXie work on #sustainable #polymers here. We @TimothyELDougl1 look forward to more exciting contributions soon:

Just a brief snapshot of @TimothyELDougl1 keynote talk for #UKPLUABionspired where he discusses how English is just A language in science. Stay tuned for the prize giving with @peeters_marloes @materials_dr

Final session of the #UKPLBioinspired #biomaterials conference session! Don't miss @TimothyELDougl1 keynote on how #language can unit #scientists. And then, we also have 5 exciting prizes to give away thanks to sponsors @AlvatekLtd @Fluorochem @Asynt and Palmsense

Session 6 of #UKPLUABionspired #conference kicks off with a great talk on #boneregeneration. More interesting talks later include a contribution from @SylTedesco from @MMUAMSE on water replacement in #concrete #materials.
Please do not forget to check out those posters too!

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@pkowalczyk922 Dear Piotr, great contribution! How vital is the porosity for bone regeneration and is there a particular pore size that is necessary (big pores vs many small pores)

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@GorniewiczMagda Thanks for this interesting contribution! Are you able to finetune the size of the CS aggregates?

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@A_Piszko Thanks for this very interesting study Aleksandra! There seems to be a big dependence of pH on the release, do you know why this is (and do we know what these sealants are or are they patented)? What is the normal pH in the mouth? (engineer with little experience in this area!)

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@Katarzyna102S Hi Katarzyna! Can you maybe elaborate on how these materials can be used for body temperature stabilization? We normally use changes in T to regulate drug delivery so what is the purpose of changing the transition T? Sorry if I misunderstood :)

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@marcin_wekwejt Thanks Marcin! Have you tried hydrogels made of other materials too and how do they compare to HEMA?

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@sionekkamila Hi Kamila! Thanks so much for your contribution! It is very interesting to see the influence of polymer molecular weight. As chitosan is a biomaterial it is very difficult to control the exact molecular weight - do you think that will be a problem for future applications?

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@luk_pawlo Hi Lukasz! Thanks so much. I presume the antibacterial activity of your surface is twofold i) the "spikes" on the surface make it hard to access and ii) the release of the Ag NPs. Which one do you think has a more pronounced effect on anti-bacterial activity?

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@Karolina_Knap Thanks Karolina! What are the mechanical properties of these scaffolds?

[@UKPLUA_Bioinspired @ukplbioinspired]

@paprota_natalia Hi Natalia! Thanks for this, I could see many explanations in sensing. Can you maybe outline how this can be used in energy storage and how cost-effective these materials are at the moment?
