Chan S, Heath D, Franks G
PLoS One . 2025 Feb; 20(2):e0318100. PMID: 40014558
In this study, porous bioceramic scaffolds are developed with two materials, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA), with order of 10 micron-scale surface pores and approximately 40-60% volume porosity fabricated...

Chan S, Black J, Franks G, Heath D
Biomater Adv . 2024 Dec; 169:214149. PMID: 39693871
Sacrificial templating offers the ability to create interconnected pores within 3D printed filaments and to control pore morphology. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds were fabricated with multiscale...

Zeng L, Franks G, Goudeli E
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2024 Feb; 661:750-760. PMID: 38325173
Hypothesis: Shear affects simultaneous aggregation and fragmentation of fine particles. Understanding the effect of shear on the dynamics of particle aggregation and break-up is important to predict aggregate size and...

Cao Y, Xiong Z, Liang Q, Jiang W, Xia F, Du X, et al.
ACS Nano . 2023 Feb; 17(5):5072-5082. PMID: 36802483
Assembling two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials into laminar membranes with a subnanometer (subnm) interlayer spacing provides a material platform for studying a range of nanoconfinement effects and exploring the technological applications related...

Franks G, Sesso M, Lam M, Lu Y, Xu L
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2020 Aug; 581(Pt B):627-634. PMID: 32810728
Hypothesis: Previous use of linear elastic fracture mechanics to estimate toughness of wet particulate materials underestimates the toughness because it does not account for plastic deformation as a dissipation mechanism....

Sesso M, Franks G
Soft Matter . 2017 Jun; 13(27):4746-4755. PMID: 28628168
This work demonstrates a method of measuring the fracture toughness of particulate materials comprised of colloidal sized particles over a wide range of saturation. Diametral compression of cylinders containing flaws...

Ng W, Connal L, Forbes E, Mohanarangam K, Franks G
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2017 Feb; 494:139-152. PMID: 28157632
Temperature-responsive flocculants, such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), induce reversible particle aggregation upon heating above a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The aim of this work is to investigate the aggregation of...

Brisson E, Xiao Z, Franks G, Connal L
Biomacromolecules . 2016 Dec; 18(1):272-280. PMID: 27997137
The copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NiPAm) with aldehyde functional monomers facilitates postpolymerization functionalization with amino acids via reductive amination, negating the need for protecting groups. In reductive amination, the imine formed...

Ng W, Forbes E, Franks G, Connal L
Langmuir . 2016 Jul; 32(30):7443-51. PMID: 27434760
Xanthate-functional polymers represent an exciting opportunity to provide temperature-responsive materials with the ability to selectively attach to specific metals, while also modifying the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. To...
