- This work highlighted the benefits of seeding PCL with graphene to aid bone regrowth. Subsequent publications showed improvement in bone re-growth in rats and there may also be benefits related to treating bone cancer. Over £800k EPSRC continuation funding was obtained (EP/R015139/1). This work also formed the basis of work on electrospinning meshes seeded with stem cells and materials with antibacterial properties for wound care applications. This work is being fully funded by industry through a PhD sponsorship worth £150k. 2 patents have been filled in relation to this in the last few years.
