Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes

University of Birmingham School of Chemistry

Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more

Elucidating the role of lipids in fibrotic capsule formation at the surface of implanted medical devices.

University of Nottingham School of Medicine

Implanted medical devices are crucial in healthcare, valued at around £400 billion globally, however there is a high failure rate, often due to the foreign body reaction, where a fibrotic capsule forms around the implant with associated inflammation, loosening and infection. Read more
