Understanding the molecular composition of biomarkers involved in cell-cell communication and the fate of nanoparticles in the environment is critical to improve our understanding of diseases and environmental processes. This project will develop a new approach for the design of separation media that will greatly improve the efficiency of techniques used to analyse these complex samples. The separation media will consist of a polymer containing large flow-through pores as well as well-defined mesopores. This dual porous skeleton will allow for the size-based separation of biomarkers and nanoparticles. The new separation media will enable the development of new technologies with applications in areas such medicine and environmental science.Read moreRead less
Micro-disperse sintered nano-diamonds: a new class of versatile adsorbent for high performance liquid chromatography. Nano-diamond is currently recognised amongst researchers as a highly significant material for the development of new technologies in analytical science, diagnostics and nano-technology. Here, sintered nano-diamond, with its many unique properties, will provide a new generation of stationary phases for use in high performance liquid chromatography.
