In our latest work in @msde.rsc.org led by Tessa Loman, we looked at how the microstructures can be selectively modulated without altering overall particle morphology of single chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs). Check it out here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Congratulations to Tessa and team.

Conformational behaviour of photoresponsive single-chain polymeric nanoparticles

Inspired by nature's dynamic materials, we here develop photoresponsive single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs) that undergo light-induced changes in their polymeric microenvironment while retain...

@harshit18.bsky.social has been awarded one of the poster prizes by the @newjchem.rsc.org (NJC) of the @rsc.org at EUPOC 2026 conference ‘Designing New Polymers by Combining High-Throughput and Artificial Intelligence Tools’ held in Bertinoro, Italy from May 18 – 21. Congratulations Harshit.

Join us in welcoming Kavya Pramod to the Palmans research group. She moved here after her masters from IISER Thiruvananthapuram, India. She will be working on developing catalytically active SCPNs for bio-orthogonal chemistry. We wish her the best and look forward to exciting science ahead!

Congratulations to Michail Mangourilos for successfully defending his Master thesis 'Platinum Complexes Encapsulated in Amphiphilic Polymeric Nanoparticles: Towards Effective Photodynamic Therapy and Green Catalysis.'

Enhancing the CuAAC efficiency of a Cu(I)–NHC complex in biological media by encapsulation

A novel [(NHC)2Cu]Br (Cu(i)–NHC) complex promotes CuAAC reactions in organic solvents, water, buffers and even complex biological media in good yields. Encapsulation of the Cu catalyst in an amphiphilic...

In our latest work in @chemcomm.rsc.org, we have looked into CuAAC click efficiency in complex biological medium by encapsulating them in Single-chain polymeric nanoparticles. Check it out here pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Congratulations to @prakashamap.bsky.social and team. #catalysis #chem

We have investigated the folding of Single-Chain Polymeric Nanoparticles in our latest work @pubs.acs.org in collaboration with Ilja K. Voets @tue.nl and Mathieu Surin @umons-universite.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Congratulations to the team. #chem #ACS_macro_letters

Revealing the Folding of Single-Chain Polymeric Nanoparticles at the Atomistic Scale by Combining Computational Modeling and X-ray Scattering

Predicting 3D structures of synthetic heterograft polymers in solution starting from a chemical structure remains a great challenge. Here, we get grip on the 3D structures formed by amphiphilic, rando...
