Professor Colquhoun's research activities are focused (i) on the development of new materials for energy-applications, specifically proton-transport membranes for fuel cells, (ii) on the application of supramolecular forces to direct the assembly of polymer chains, especially for self-healing materials, and (iii) on the potential of copolymers to store and process digital information at the level of single molecules. These programmes are currently supported by more than £2M in EPSRC research grants, including a very recent, five-year Materials Platform Grant (£1.12M). Collaborative research programmes, sponsored by EPSRC and/or NSF, are in place with Northwestern University (Illinois), Case Western Reserve University (Ohio), the University of Delaware, and the California Institute of Technology.
