Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (2024)
Thesis
Hornsby, K. Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866518

The quest to develop Pd doped, sustainable catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene resulted in the synthesis of two families of materials. Derived from lignocellulosic biomass residues, specifically barley straw, bulk and mesopor...

From textile waste to carbon nanomaterials for offshore wind turbine blades (2023)
Thesis
Marsden, H. From textile waste to carbon nanomaterials for offshore wind turbine blades. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4459343

The aim of this research was to determine the feasibility of carbon production from the pyrolysis of textile waste, seeking a way of increasing the sustainability of “fast fashion” and recycling the 92 million tonnes of textile waste entering landfil...

Self-sterilising surfaces to combat healthcare associated infections (2017)
Thesis
Turner, C. L. (2017). Self-sterilising surfaces to combat healthcare associated infections. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4266419

The immobilisation of photosensitisers on polymeric supports for use in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy has become increasingly popular. The immobilisation of photosensitisers on polymeric supports has been attempted previously by covalent at... Read More about Self-sterilising surfaces to combat healthcare associated infections.
