Dave Adams Lab

Some recent work by Santanu on Time Programmable Evolving Gels

It is possible to construct pH-triggered switchable gels in a programmable manner by coupling a hydrogel with the urea-urease reaction.

Lisa goes off to scatter some neutrons!

Here’s our user @lisathoms0n prepping a sample that will help us characterize multicomponent gels!👩‍🔬

Emily Cross becomes Dr. Emily Cross!

Congratulations! Emily Cross becomes Dr. Emily Cross after defending her thesis on analysing and controlling the self-assembly of gelation. Thanks to Adam Squires, Bernhard Schmidt and Drew Thomson for the viva. We wish Emily the best for her postdoc at Belfast with Garry Laverty.

Another visit to the ILL

This week, Dave is at the ILL with Emily Draper, carrying out more contrast matching SANS experiments, as well as looking at the effect of additives on gelation.
