Focused on producing different compositions of bioactive glasses in the fibrous form for use in oral & maxillofacial applications and healing chronic wounds. While at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, GP developed a method to electrospin inorganic fibres directly from sol-gel solutions. The fibres produced entangle into a porous ball resembling cotton-wool. They are easy to handle, provide a porous structure with sub-micron fibres which mimic the supramolecular architecture of ECM in collagen. This project is forms a large multilateral project with funding from MRC, EPSRC, JSPS, RAEng and DLS. GP is seeking commercial partners to collaborate on this project.
