Readvertised post-doc vacancy in the Armes group! A Leverhulme Trust-funded position involves collaboration with space scientists. Experience in emulsification & fluorescence microscopy is required to prepare new synthetic mimics for cosmic dust particles.

Many congrats to our former intern student Sam Astier on the publication of his study of the chemical adsorption of nanoparticles on polymer brushes in Langmuir. Check out his article at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great seminar by Prof Steve Armes Armes Research Group from The University of Sheffield at our UNSW School of Chemical Engineering school seminar in Sydney today. Excellent work highlighting the versatile use of block copolymer nano-objects fabricated by polymerisation-induced self-assembly (#PISA) #RAFT #polymers

Congrats to former Armes group student Olly Deane Oliver Deane for his final PhD paper on thermoplastic elastomers (sponsor: Ashland Ashland) Check it out at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats to BASF-sponsored PhD student Rory McBride Rory McBride on his second Macromolecules paper. This study reports a 'low salt' route to high MW non-ionic water-soluble polymers in the form of low-viscosity latex particles. Check it out at: pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

We are delighted to announce that Steve has just been awarded the 2024 JCIS Darsh Wasan Award. For further details, see sciencedirect.com/journal/journa… He will give his keynote award lecture at the 13th International Colloid conference in Sitges, Spain on Jun 10th.

Check out this amazing Collection from Chemistry of Materials, curated by Shiyong Liu, on The Future of Radical Polymerization, including an Editorial from Matyjaszewski Lab and contributions from The Jeremiah Johnson Group Chuanbing Tang Chris Bates @EmilyPentzer Armes Research Group and many others!

Delighted to announce that the Armes group recently received its 50,000 citation! Congrats to all its past and current members on this notable milestone. 👏🏼

Delighted to recieve this award! Great work by PolymerPete !

Congrats 👏🏼to BASF-sponsored Rory McBride Rory McBride for the publication of his second PhD paper in Macromolecules. This study reports a 'low salt' RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerisation route to salt-responsive particles.

Congrats 👏🏼to newly minted Dr Rory McBride Rory McBride who passed his PhD viva today with minor corrections. Thanks also to Dr Lee Fielding Lee Fielding and Dr Lance Twyman for acting as PhD examiners and to BASF BASF for project sponsorship.

Many congratulations to Priyanka Chohan on her poster prize at the Faculty of Science poster session today!

Many congrats to 2nd-year PhD student Hubert Buksa Hubert Buksa ,who has just published his 1st PhD paper in Biomacromolecules. GEO Specialty Chemicals sponsors his PhD, which involves a collaboration with Dr. Rebecca Corrigan Rebecca Corrigan Check it out at doi.org/10.1021/acs.bi…

Many congratulations to Ashland-sponsored Ashland PhD student Matt Farmer for his new JACS paper on the synthesis of degradable diblock copolymer rods or platelets via aqueous reverse sequence PISA + CDSA. Check it out at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Some photos today at the medal award with Dr Helen Willcock Becer Research Group Armes Research Group and Nick Turner. Really enjoyable lecture at a great conference. #MACRO2024 MacroGroup_UK IUPAC Macro2024 Conference-University of Warwick

IUPAC Macro2024 Conference-University of Warwick was an amazing opportunity to meet old friends and make new connections.... LCPO Armes Research Group @MLBeckerGroup

Check out our new Leverhulme Trust-funded The Leverhulme Trust JACS paper on synthetic mimics for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-based cosmic dust particles. This study involved a fruitful collaboration with scientists at kent uni , Sheffield Hallam University and 千葉大学広報

Congrats to former postdocs Csilla Gyorgy and Saul Hunter @saul__hunter for their new Macromolecules paper: 'Effect of added salt on the RAFT polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in aqueous media'

Great pleasure to have Nick Warren speaking in Sheffield chemistry today, presenting his work and where his ideas are going. Glad he joined The University of Sheffield !!!
