I am working on the following projects at the moment:
- Sustainable Chemistry in flow
- Stress Free 3d printing
- Controlled and living radical polymerisation
- Transdermal drug delivery through new pressure sensitive adhesives
- Photopolymerisation
New methods of polymer synthesis and catalysis. Specific interests include controlled polymerisation of acrylics and esters by organometallic initiators and catalysts, e.g. atom transfer living polymerisation, catalytic chain transfer polymerisation. Mechanisms of polymerisation and utilisation of this knowledge to design catalysts and organic polymers for specific commercial applications. Environmentally friendly polymerisation and use of biomimetic chemistry in this area.
Chemistry in flow, transdermal drug delivery, development of pressure sensitive adhesives, polymerisation of dienes, biodegradable polymers and polymers for use in personal care.
David teaches the Materials and Polymers (CH272) and the Polymer and Colloid Science (CH3F6) undergraduate modules
