Research interests: Supramolecular structures and polymer crystallisation. Our research concerns the way that large molecules and polymers self order into supramolecular structures. By selecting molecular architectures and functionality (e.g. dendrimers), a range of shapes can be formed, including cylinders, spheres, wedges and ribbons.
