Journal Article
Binks, B. P., Sekine, T., & Tyowua, A. T. (2014). Dry oil powders and oil foams stabilised by fluorinated clay platelet particles. Soft matter, 10(4), 578-589. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3sm52748d

A series of platelet sericite particles coated to different extents with a fluorinating agent has been characterised and their behaviour in mixtures with air and oil studied. The material which forms by vigorous shaking depends on both the surface te... Read More about Dry oil powders and oil foams stabilised by fluorinated clay platelet particles.

Electrostatically gated membrane permeability in inorganic protocells (2013)
Journal Article
Li, M., Harbron, R. L., Weaver, J. V., Binks, B. P., & Mann, S. (2013). Electrostatically gated membrane permeability in inorganic protocells. Nature Chemistry, 5(6), 529-536. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchem.1644

Although several strategies are now available to produce functional microcompartments analogous to primitive cell-like structures, little progress has been made in generating protocell constructs with self-controlled membrane permeability. Here we de... Read More about Electrostatically gated membrane permeability in inorganic protocells.
