Application of density functional theory in the synthesis of electroactive polymers (1995)
Journal Article

A wide range of conjugated organic compounds undergo anodic electropolymerisation to produce polymers of high conductivity. However, electrooxidation does not always result in the formation of electroactive materials, since some reactions produce ins...

Polyheterocycles containing alkene spacer linkages Part I. Synthesis and electropolymerization of 3-styrylthiophenes (1994)
Journal Article

The synthesis and electrochemical behaviour of novel thiophene compounds containing a substituted phenyl group separated by an alkene spacer are described. In such systems, it was proposed that the molecular geometry should allow the π-electron densi... Read More about Polyheterocycles containing alkene spacer linkages Part I.

The simple preparation of a conducting and transparent polypyrrole film (1990)
Journal Article

The preparation of transparent, c. 50 nm thick, conducting (c. 5.0 S cm-1) films of polypyrrole onto non-conducting substrates, e.g. acrylic, polyester, glass is described. The coating was produced by a dip process into a colloidal dispersion of poly... Read More about The simple preparation of a conducting and transparent polypyrrole film.

Polypyrrole-based sensor for hydrazine and ammonia (1990)
Journal Article

An ultra-thin layer of polypyrrole can be coated on non-conducting substrates, e.g., acrylic, by dip coating into a colloidal suspension of polypyrrole. This thin coating reversibly combines with low concentrations of ammonia or hydrazine with a conc... Read More about Polypyrrole-based sensor for hydrazine and ammonia.

A promising material for non-linear optics: Observation of second harmonic generation from 4-[N-(4-carboxypentyl)-N-methylamino]-4′-nitrostilbene- coated substrates (1988)
Journal Article

Glass coated with a nitro amino stilbene carboxylic acid using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique gave a non-centrosymmetric material exhibiting second harmonic generation, 1.06 to 0.53 μm.

IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films (1987)
Journal Article

Alternate-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) assemblies, consisting of 22-tricosenoic acid with three different amine derivatives, have been fabricated. The pyroelectric activity in the films has been assessed and correlated with their structures determine... Read More about IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores (1987)
Journal Article

The pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing several different polar chromophores was studied. Two distinct levels of activity are seen. By comparison with films containing no chromophores it is shown that the lower level of activ... Read More about Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores.

Pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films (1985)
Journal Article

We report the detection of pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films of structure ABAB ... where A and B are monolayers of different materials. Films consisting of alternating fatty amine and fatty acid layers gi... Read More about Pyroelectric activity in non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films.

A corroborative approach to verification and validation of human–robot teams (2019)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2019. We present an approach for the verification and validation (V&V) of robot assistants in the context of human–robot interactions, to demonstrate their trustworthiness through corroborative evidence of their safety and functional...

Initial trail results of a magnetic biosensor for the rapid detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Virus (PRRSV) infection (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The resonant coil magnetometer quantifies paramagnetic particles (PMPs) and has been used to develop magneto-immunoassays in a range of formats. The advantage of magneto-immunoassays is that they are relatively inexpensive, portable, easy to p...

Rare earth doped metal oxide sensor for the multimodal detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (2020)
Journal Article

Heated metal oxide sensors have been widely studied for their ability to give a reversible change in the electrical resistance following the interaction with a volatile compound. Another feature is their inherent cataluminescence (CTL) properties whe... Read More about Rare earth doped metal oxide sensor for the multimodal detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Cytochrome P450 2B6 amperometric biosensor for continuous monitoring of propofol (2021)
Journal Article

Despite the growing evidence of improved patient outcomes and of a substantially reduced environmental impact of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia when compared to volatile-based techniques, the vast majority of general anesthetics still us...

Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment (2024)
Thesis

The hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) is increasingly prevalent in environmental waters globally, posing a significant threat to human and animal health due to its adverse effects on endocrine functions. Traditional methods of analysing E2 are complex and t... Read More about Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment.

A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture (2023)
Journal Article

Lower yields and poorer quality of biopharmaceutical products result from cell death in bioreactors. Such cell death is commonly associated with programmed cell death or apoptosis. During apoptosis, caspases are activated and cause a cascade of event... Read More about A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture.

Metal oxide decorated carbon nanocomposite electrodes for propofol monitoring (2022)
Journal Article

Despite the growing evidence of the benefits of total-intravenous anaesthesia using propofol compared to conventional volatile-based anaesthesia, both in terms of environmental impact and patient outcomes, the majority of administered general anaesth...
