Additional information

The paper highlighted a generic mechanism to control polymer surface chemistry using electrospinning. Implications of the work include the design of novel tissue and filtration fibrous networks with improved functionality compared to base polymers. The paper led to grants on ‘Controlling surface properties of electrospun fibres for protective clothing and light weight respiratory masks’ (Contract 20575) from Centre for Defence Enterprise/DSTL and ‘Electrospinning for liquid control surfaces and understanding of liquid surfaces interactions’ (Contract DSTLX-1000072482) of ~£118k from DSTL. A keynote lecture at NanoKTN (2011) and invited talk at an international electrospinning conference ‘Electrospinning: Principles, Possibilities and Practice’ (2012) resulted.
