Happy New Year to group members, students, colleagues, collaborators and friends across the globe that celebrate the start of a new lunar year! May the year be filled with peace, family, friends and good health! Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🪅
A recent paper titled “Electrorheological Fluids Based on Porous Carboxyl-Functionalized Polytriphenylamines” authored by both Ulzhalgas Karatayeva and former postdoc Dr Ozlem Erol (now assistant professor at Gazi University, Ankara, Türkiye), and Charl Faul has been accepted for publication in ACS Appl. Polym. Mater.
Further information and more details to follow soon!
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!
