Our group usually uses enzymes to break polymers, but our brilliant PhD student Emily Dixon likes to use them for polymerisation and she has compiled this review for people with similar interests. Thanks to @vincenzotaresco.bsky.social for involving me in the project!

🎉 Registration is now open!! 🎉 Come join us this year at UCL for a fantastic programme in polymer science. It's a great way to extend your network in the field. Link: www.raps.org.uk/raps-meetings

Thanks for the invitation! Really fun to share some of our work on photocatalytic polymers.

Finally, to close the first session, @lukethechemist.bsky.social spoke to us about Polymer Characterisation at the NMRC here at UoN @uonnmrc.bsky.social

The penultimate talk of this years Polymer Symposium comes from Dr Calum Ferguso @ctjferguson.bsky.social who discussed photocatalytic polymers!

The second session of the symposium is now underway with Dr Eleanor Binner presenting “Making acrylic the first sustainable plastic”, showcasing her work on microwave pyrolysis.

A great poster session here at the polymer symposium! Thanks to all delegates for presenting

Our 4th talk was on Targeted Polymers for Drug Delivery Applications by Dr Thomas Floyd @astrazeneca.bsky.social

Our third speaker of the day is Dr Kirsten Hawkins from @york.ac.uk who is presenting her research on ‘Potential Prebiotic Catalytic Hydrogels’.

Our next talk is from our own Dr Daniel Keddie on Functional Polymers from Biobased Feedstocks!

Our first talk is from Dr Avtar Matharu on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion - A thought provoking talk on how we can all take action to foster an inclusive environment.

Our annual Polymer Symposium is being held today at the @uniofnottingham.bsky.social Looking forward to an afternoon of great talks and networking! @rsc.org @uonnmrc.bsky.social

It's prime time for #phd applications, and I have a fully funded position (for UK students) looking at waste biomass valorisation and its economical viability. Application deadline: 12/01/25, more info at the link www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

@uniofnottingham.bsky.social #chemsky

I have an open #PhD opportunity available, fully funded for UK students, to explore waste utilisation for biorefineries in South Africa. More information at the link below. Deadline for applications is 12 Jan 25.

Please share widely #chemsky!
