Applications of radiation in photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy (2020)
Thesis
Entract, G. Applications of radiation in photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222353

The application of radiation to porphyrin-based photosensitisers for the purposes of photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy have been described in an effort to explore combined therapies, which seek to extend the use of photodynamic therapy beyond i...

Perovskite nanoparticles as contrast agents for molecular imaging and anti-cancer theranostics (2019)
Thesis
AL Habsi, S. K. S. Perovskite nanoparticles as contrast agents for molecular imaging and anti-cancer theranostics. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223738

Nanoparticles (NPs) offer diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities not accessible with microscale particles. As the field of molecular imaging has risen up out of the mixing of molecular biology with medicinal imaging, the use of NPs as imaging contra...

Utilisation of CO2 for the preparation of inorganic solids (2019)
Thesis
Bennett, M. J. Utilisation of CO2 for the preparation of inorganic solids. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221912

The work in this project reports: (1) the preparation of the mixed oxide carbonates; Sr₂CuO₂(CO₃), Sr₁:₈Ba₀:₂CuO₂(CO₃) and Sr₁:₇₅Ca₀:₂₅CuO₂(CO₃) via direct reaction of the parent oxides with CO₂, (2) the extraction of CO₂ to re-form the original oxid...

Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents (2015)
Thesis
Jones, N. E. Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218445

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common medical imaging modality that does not require the administration of radiopharmaceuticals, as it relies on the inherent nuclear spin of the protons in the tissues and organs. However, it lacks sensitivity... Read More about Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents.

Rational chemical design of solar-powered nano photocatalysts for environmental applications (2015)
Thesis
Katubi, K. M. M. Rational chemical design of solar-powered nano photocatalysts for environmental applications. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217184

Photo-catalysis, which relies on semiconducting materials as catalysts, has become an important approach in the search for ways to utilise solar energy. Because titanium dioxide has excellent properties, shows oxidative power and has a high efficienc...

One-dimensional, mixed-metal sulphides – structural and physical properties (2011)
Thesis
Harrison, M. R. One-dimensional, mixed-metal sulphides – structural and physical properties. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211860

New one-dimensional sulphides based on Ba2CoS3 have been synthesised and their structural and electronic properties investigated. The starting point was the one-dimensional sulphide Ba2CoS3, which shows one-dimensional anti-ferromagnetism, metallic-l...

The preparation and characterisation of mixed-anion and non-oxide materials (2009)
Thesis
Headspith, D. A. The preparation and characterisation of mixed-anion and non-oxide materials. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209409

Traditionally, research in solid-state chemistry has focused largely on the chemistry of oxides and on chemical tailoring of the structure and physical properties via cationic substitutions. Consequentially, the chemistry of non-oxide ompounds and ot... Read More about The preparation and characterisation of mixed-anion and non-oxide materials.

The co-crystallisation of sugars by the supersaturation process (2008)
Thesis
Geary, P. M. The co-crystallisation of sugars by the supersaturation process. (Thesis). University of Hull. 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...
