Bonlab

The BonLab is based at the University of Warwick in the department of Chemistry. We study the chemistry and physics of colloidal systems.

We study the chemistry and physics of colloidal systems in which molecular and /or colloidal entities can be assembled into more complex supracolloidal structures. We are interested in the synthesis of particles and macromolecules with a design tailored to trigger and control motility and assembly, the development of methods to (self)-organise colloidal matter, the understanding of the interactions involved between molecular and colloidal building blocks and potential macroscopic substrates. We find it important that our technology can be scaled-up and is of use in a variety of industrial applications ranging from sensors and devices, coatings and adhesives, to food, personal care, agricultural and biological systems.
