Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts (2019)
Thesis
Abimbade, S. F. (2019). Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222418

Application of the principles of ‘Green Chemistry’ has been a focus in recent years in the synthesis of fine chemicals, and solid-phase catalysts are useful tools in that endeavour compared to stoichiometric reagents. Another important principle of ‘... Read More about Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts.

Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules (2013)
Thesis
Huang, Y. (2013). Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215614

The external shell (exine) of plant spores and pollen grains is composed of sporopollenin, which is an organic polymer renowned for its exceptional resistance to physical and chemical attack. The resilience of sporopollenin to high temperature, press... Read More about Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules.

Analogues of bredinin: Synthesis of 5-hydroxyimidazoles from acyclic precursors (2008)
Thesis
Middleton, D. F. (2008). Analogues of bredinin: Synthesis of 5-hydroxyimidazoles from acyclic precursors. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208664

Compared to 1-substituted-5-aminoimidazoles relatively few 1-substituted-5-hydroxyimidazoles have been reported; however, an interesting 1-substituted-5-hydroxyimidazole is the immunosuppressive agent bredinin, which shows antiviral, antimalarial, an...

The co-crystallisation of sugars by the supersaturation process (2008)
Thesis
Geary, P. M. (2008). The co-crystallisation of sugars by the supersaturation process. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209378

Co-crystallising sugars by the supersaturation process was investigated using sucrose and lactose as the matrix sugars. The components to be cocrystallised with either sucrose or lactose were a variety of mono- and disaccharides along with sweeteners...

Physical and chemical properties of sporopollenin exine particles (2008)
Thesis
Barrier, S. (2008). Physical and chemical properties of sporopollenin exine particles. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213615

The chemical structure of sporopollenin was extensively reviewed, along with some considerations pertaining to its physical and biological properties. A comparative study is presented of extraction protocols to isolate exines from L. clavatum, in par... Read More about Physical and chemical properties of sporopollenin exine particles.

Novel derivatives of sporopollenin for potential applications in solid phase organic synthesis and drug delivery (2001)
Thesis
Kettley, S. J. (2001). Novel derivatives of sporopollenin for potential applications in solid phase organic synthesis and drug delivery. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212704

The outer coat (exine) of plant pollen grains and spores is composed of the material sporopollenin. Sporopollenin is exceptionally resistant to chemical and physical attack and is perhaps one of the most chemically resistant, naturally occurring orga...
