A fun collab with @Nudgemental@aheise2 thanks to @nanocarbproject @MSCActions.
We show how simple polyproline-II helices can act as ice binders/inhibitors.
Closing the first session of this afternoon in amphi G, we have Nicola Judge to share with us her PhD research on Tuneable Glycosylated Polypeptide Nanoparticles by N-Carboxyanhydride Emulsion Polymerisation #BPC2022
Thanks to all our speakers!
Very happy to have presented my work @BPC2022 this year and in particular our work on the effect core and surfactant comparability has on the resulting nanoparticle size.

Take a look at my first paper from my PhD where we look at the how utilising different amino acids allowed us to obtain varying sized nanoparticles using a mini emulsion polymerisation.

@tg_floyd @aheise2@R2B2_13@nanocarbproject Hi, thank you! We have but the homopolymers that make up the core in this work are insoluble or have very low solubility in all the solvents we have tried inc DMF and HFIP but we are hoping through changing the core in future work we might be able to explore this.
I am excited to present my #RSCPoster on some of my recent work with @aheise2 in collaboration with @R2B2_13 on tuneable glycopolypeptide nanoparticles through the design of macromolecular surfactants.

@nanoscale_rsc@aheise2@R2B2_13@nanocarbproject Hi, thank you very much. We will be looking to expand the versatility of the system using functionalised amino acids within the core of the particles to fully understand what is happening during the polymerisation.
