Artificial metalloenzymes : modified proteins as tuneable transition metal catalysts and their application in oxidative lignin degradation
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisThe selective oxidation of organic molecules is fundamentally important to life and immensely useful in industry. Metalloenzyme catalysed oxidations often display exquisite substrate specificity as well as regio ... -
Electron microscopy of some inorganic crystals with novel morphologies
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisThis project concerns crystal growth of some inorganic crystals which have novel morphologies. In order to study their crystal growth routes and further reveal their crystal growth mechanism, intermediate samples were ... -
Defect chemistry in perovskite titanate : from materials to interfaces
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisThe increasing demand for energy consumption and environmental protection accelerates renewable energy applications. Due to the intermittence supply of renewables such as wind and wave, the development of energy conversion ... -
Towards mitochondrial targeting for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisNanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a promising approach to overcoming biological barriers imposed by the human body. Polymeric NPs offer a superior synthetic flexibility and advances in polymerization chemistries have ... -
Preparation, characterisation and application of ordered mesoporous materials
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisThe history of ordered mesoporous materials starts with the discovery of MCM-41(Mobil Composition of Matter-41) in 1992 using an organic template as structure directing agent. Mesoporous materials have not only proved ...
