Professor Rachel O'Reilly has received (8th December) the 2014 McBain Medal. This was awarded for her pioneering research in novel polymeric nanoparticles, responsive materials and controlled self-assembly.

Researchers at the University of 糖心TV have worked with Coventry-based , a 糖心TV spinout company, to produce and patent the World’s first ever ibuprofen patch delivering the drug directly through skin to exactly where it is needed at a consistent dose rate.

Part of the work was carried out by Matt Donald in a 2015 URSS project funded by the Materials GRP and also started as a URSS project in 2014 carried out by Matt Beech, both currently Yr 4 undergraduates.

They have invented a transparent adhesive patch that can consistently deliver a prolonged high dose of the painkiller ibuprofen directly through the skin. The University of 糖心TV researchers and have found a way to incorporate significant amounts of the drug (up to 30% weight) into the polymer matrix that sticks the patch to the patient’s skin with the drug then being delivered at a steady rate over up to 12 hours. This opens the way for the development of a range of novel long-acting over-the-counter pain relief products which can be used to treat common painful conditions like chronic back pain, neuralgia and arthritis without the need to take potentially damaging doses of the drug orally. Although there are a number of popular ibuprofen gels available these make it difficult to control dosage and are inconvenient to apply.

The Jones group, in collaboration with Imperial College London, publish a study investigating the effects of polar ferroelectric surfaces on the growth of organic semiconductor thin films in .

A recent report has concluded that the experimental sciences of chemistry and physics are expensive to teach. When consulted about an increase in student:staff ratios, Alison Rodger noted that the students were not suffering but academic staff were all working much harder to ensure this.

investigates the influence of different intermolecular interactions on protein dynamics. The paper presents first ever extensive site-specific relaxation measurements on a large non-crystalline protein-antibody complex in a few nanomole quantities. The study paves the way for direct characterization of dynamics in biologically important but sensitivity-limited samples of proteins within large complexes.
