Steven Peter Armes, FRS is a Professor of Polymer Chemistry and Colloid Chemistry at the University of Sheffield.[2][3]
Education
Armes was educated at Whitley Abbey Comprehensive School[4] in Coventry and the University of Bristol where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science in 1983 and a PhD in 1987.[5]
Career
After a postdoctoral research at Los Alamos National Laboratory Armes became a lecturer at the University of Sussex in 1989 where he worked until 2004. He moved to Sheffield to become Professor of Polymer and Colloid Chemistry in 2004.[citation needed]
Research
Armes group does research on polymer chemistry and colloid chemistry. Using polymerisation techniques such as Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT) and Atom-transfer radical-polymerization (ATRP) his laboratory synthesises a wide range of polymers.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Awards and honours
Armes was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014. His nomination reads: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Steven Armes has developed robust new synthetic routes to controlled-structure water-soluble polymers. He optimised the living radical polymerisation of hydrophilic methacrylates, discovered a new class of 'schizophrenic' diblock copolymers whose amphiphilicity can be switched on or off, and has designed a range of novel biocompatible block copolymer gels and vesicles. His work on water-borne polymer colloids has led to novel shell cross-linked micelles and nanocomposite particles, with applications in paints, anti-reflective coatings and as stimulus-responsive Pickering emulsifiers.[citation needed] More recently, he has pioneered polymerisation-induced self-assembly to produce a range of bespoke spherical, worm-like and vesicular nano-objects via RAFT dispersion polymerisation.[1]
