ABOUT
Flow chemists, materials scientists
We are a synthetic group with the goal of bringing the benefits of continuous flow chemistry to materials science. Our research encompasses automation, integration of analysis and synthesis, precursor design, and self-assembly. We aim to consider the principles of manufacturing at the earliest stages of material design, and use our expertise in organic chemistry to fine-tune the properties of self-assembled materials.
We work with the Materials Innovation Factory at the University of Liverpool.

Continuous Flow in Materials Chemistry
RESEARCH PROJECTS
HIGH THROUGHPUT FLOW SCREENING
By using an automated continuous flow process, high-throughput screening allows us to screen a wide range of new materials and precursors.
PRECURSOR SYNTHESIS
We have expertise in the synthesis of molecules suitable for incorporation into materials, with a focus on polyaromatics, heterocyclic compounds, and small molecules capable of supramolecular interactions
OUTREACH
We are enthusiastic about Outreach and have run sessions on nanotechnology, self-assembly, and 'building with molecules' - please get in touch for more information.
