Ordered materials for organic electronics and photonics (2010)
Journal Article
O’Neill, M., & Kelly, S. M. (2011). Ordered materials for organic electronics and photonics. Advanced materials, 23(5), 566-584. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.201002884

We present a critical review of semiconducting/light emitting, liquid crystalline materials and their use in electronic and photonic devices such as transistors, photovoltaics, OLEDs and lasers. We report that annealing from the mesophase improves th... Read More about Ordered materials for organic electronics and photonics.

Production of deuterium labelled (−)-epicatechin in a microreactor (2010)
Journal Article
Betts, J. W., Kitney, S. P., Fu, Y., Peng, W., Kelly, S. M., & Haswell, S. J. (2011). Production of deuterium labelled (−)-epicatechin in a microreactor. Chemical Engineering Journal, 167(2-3), 545-547. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2010.08.093

Green tea catechins have been reported to have multiple health benefits. To understand their metabolic and toxicological interactions in the human body studies need to be undertaken using stable isotope labelled compounds, but they can be time consum...

Isolated word recognition of silent speech using magnetic implants and sensors (2010)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., Rybchenko, S. I., Hofe, R., Ell, S. R., Fagan, M. J., Moore, R. K., & Green, P. (2010). Isolated word recognition of silent speech using magnetic implants and sensors. Medical engineering & physics, 32(10), 1189-1197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2010.08.011

There are a number of situations where individuals wish to communicate verbally but are unable to use conventional means so called 'silent speech'. These include speakers in noisy and covert situations as well as patients who have lost their voice as...

Reduction of 2,3-diphenyl-1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]deca-1,3-diene is investigated both voltammetrically (glassy-carbon electrode, 20°C, non-aqueous-solvents) and using dissolving-metals (sodium, −78°C, tetrahydrofuran (THF)/NH3(l)). Remarkably, electro-red... Read More about Comparison of Birch with electrochemical reduction of 2,3-diphenyl-1,4- diazaspiro[4.5]deca-1,3-diene.
