The end of 2024 and Christmas are just around the corner! During this busy Christmas season, we bid heartfelt farewells to many team members, while also joyfully welcoming several new faces this year!
Of course, we couldn’t miss our annual Christmas party, this year at the lovely Grupo Lounge in Westbury-on-Trym! With delicious food, Secret Santa exchange, and lively Crimbo Bingo, we enjoyed a fantastic and unforgettable evening!
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year ahead!
Maxi’s work on a series of dopamine-based polymers and introduced as non-cytotoxic, single-component bio-adhesives that outperform commercial options features on the front cover of Macromol. Rapid Commun. See article 2400345 for more details.
A new manuscript Triphenylamine-Based Conjugated Microporous Polymers as the Next Generation Organic Cathode Materials is now available online in Advanced Materials Early View.
Here, a novel triphenylamine-based porous polymer (LPCMP) is presented as an outstanding lithium-ion battery cathode, delivering 146 mAh g-1 at 3.6 V, high power density, and stability over 1000 cycles, marking a breakthrough for high-energy organic LIBs. These exciting results stem from the close collaboration with colleagues from the National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.
A huge congratulations to Dr Safa Al Siyabi for successfully passing her PhD viva! Safa’s thesis focused on the synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers and their diverse applications in advancing sustainability.
With thanks to Anna Slater of the University of Liverpool and Sébastien Rochat of the University of Bristol for their expertise and time during the viva proceedings.

Jerry Mintah has transitioned in and out of the Faul Group throughout his undergraduate chemistry degree at Bristol, contributing to a published study in a high-impact journal during this time. He now returns to pursue his PhD, focusing on the design and development of metal-free porous polymers for CO2 capture and conversion.
Welcome back, Jerry!
Last week, Ulia spoke and presented her research during the IX. Polymer Science and Technology Congress, organised biennially by the Polymer Science and Technology Association, at Middle East Technical University in Ankara.
This congress aims to unite top researchers, industry professionals, and students to discuss the latest advances in polymer science and technology, fostering collaboration and innovation.
During this month, Xue attended and presented at the data-driven discovery in the chemical sciences Faraday Discussion in Oxford, focused on the role of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in various areas of chemistry. The event brought together researchers from both academic and industrial backgrounds.
Thanks for representing the group, Xue!
