Soft Matter Chemistry Research Group

2018 has started with a BANG! for the Soft Matter Chemistry Group! 

Two new publications are now available online from work performed by former group member Dr Amin Khodabandeh (now UniSA) and current group member Guo Hui Teo.

Amin's PhD work was recently published in th...

Welcome to two new PhD students who have just started in the Soft Matter Chemistry Group!

Atiyeah Ganjalinia has just commenced her PhD under the supervision of Stuart and Professor Michael Breadmore (ACROSS/Chemistry, UTAS). Originally from Iran, Atiyeah's project is f...

A hearty congratulations to now Doctor Amin Khodabandeh, who has received his Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry! Amin's thesis was entitled "Polymer Nanoparticles and their Supracolloidal Monolithic Structures for Applications in Separation Science". He has published t...

We love the Journal of Polymer Science Part A here at the Soft Matter Chemistry Group, as we have recently had two more manuscripts published in the journal! 

In work that was conducted by PhD candidate Yasemin Fadil at UNSW, we report a method of preparing homogeneous...

Two new publications co-authored by SMC Group Leader Dr Stuart Thickett have recently appeared in press.

• Photo-driven synthesis of polymer-coated platinized ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced photoelectrochemical charge transportation - this recent publication appeared...

Soft Matter Chemistry group research leader Stuart Thickett has been awarded as part of a multi-disciplinary team a $630,000 research grant from the Australian Research Council Linkage Grants scheme. The proposal, led by Professor Michael Breadmore from the Australian...

Happy New Year and welcome to 2017!

2017 has started with a bang for the SMC group as group leader Stuart Thickett has been promoted to Senior Lecturer within the School of Physical Sciences at the University of Tasmania. This promotion is in recognition of Stuart's wor...

A big congratulations to post-doctoral research associate Dr Florent Jasinski (UNSW) who has had recent work from his project published in the RSC journal Polymer Chemistry. The article, entitled "Synthesis and characterisation of gradient polymeric nanoparticles" is t...

The Soft Matter Chemistry group has had a big presence at the 36th Australasian Polymer Symposium (36APS), held at the Mantra Lorne, Victoria, Australia. We had contributions from:

• Stuart Thickett - 2 talks, one on high glass transition temperature fluoropolymers, t...

We're on the cover of Polymer Chemistry!

Congratulations to PhD candidate Chris Teo for the publication of the first article from his degree, "Polymer-Inorganic Hybrid Nanoparticles of Various Morphologies via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly and Sol-Gel Chemistry."
