    • Diffusion controlled oxidation and stabilisation of polyolefins 

      Fairgrieve, Stuart Paterson (University of St Andrews, 1984) - Thesis
      A mathematical model was derived for the oxidation behaviour of a polymer film, taking into account both diffusion free and diffusion controlled kinetics. Comparison with experimental results showed excellent agreement. ...

    • Structural and dynamic properties of alpha, omega-dibromoalkanes and other guest molecules in their urea inclusion compounds 

      Smart, Sharon Patricia (University of St Andrews, 1993) - Thesis
      The work described in this thesis focuses on the urea inclusion compounds of α, ω-dibromo-n-alkanes: Br(CH₂)[sub]nBr/urea, where n=7-10. The structural and dynamic properties of the host and guest have been studied using ...

    • Rhodium catalysed hydrocarbonylation reactions 

      Simpson, Michael Charles (University of St Andrews, 1995) - Thesis
      The one step hydrohydroxymethylation which can be used to transform C[sub]n alkenes into C [sub](n+1) alcohols has been explored for functionalised alkenes. The catalyst system used for this study was generated in situ ...

    • Directed chlorination in some substituted alkanes 

      Potter, Alan (University of St Andrews, 1981) - Thesis
      The work in this thesis investigates the selectivity in the direction of attack in the chlorination of a wide variety of substituted alkanes. The main chlorinating agent studied is atomic chlorine, although the selectivity ...

    • Kinetics of some gas phase reactions of halogenated free radicals 

      Vertommen, Luc L. T. (University of St Andrews, 1978) - Thesis
      The first two chapters of this thesis describe a study of the kinetics of the gas phase addition of perfluoro-isopropyl and perfluoro-t-butyl radicals to various olefins. The radicals were produced by photolysing the ...
