We report a one-pot route to Au/CeO2 nanocomposites. A readily-available biopolymer, sodium alginate, is exploited for controlled formation and stabilisation of gold nanoparticles followed by in situ growth of a sponge-like network of CeO2 nanopartic...

A modular approach to the synthesis of trivalent C-glycosidic carbohydrates is described. The approach is illustrated employing carboxylate-terminated C-glycosidic d-mannose, d-glucose, and d-galactose derivatives with different length C1-linked spac...

(2010). Quantification of surface species present on a nickel/alumina methane reforming catalyst. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 3102 - 3107. https://doi.org/10.1039/B919977B

An alumina-supported nickel catalyst has been used to effect the 'dry' reforming of methane, using CO(2) as the oxidant. After 6 hours on-stream, reaction was stopped and the sample analysed by inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The INS spectrum rev...

We investigated the ability of fetal mesenchymal stem cells (fMSCs) to differentiate into brown and white adipocytes and compared the expression of a number of marker genes and key regulatory factors. We showed that the expression of key adipocyte re... Read More about Human fetal mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into brown and white adipocytes: a role for ERRalpha in human UCP1 expression.

Fluorinated microemulsions as reaction media for fluorous nanoparticles (2010)
Journal Article

New fluorinated microemulsions (F-MEs) formulated from partially fluorinated solvent–co-solvent mixtures and fluorinated anionic AOT-analogue surfactants are reported. These F-MEs permit incorporation of water into fluorinated solvents, up to a volum... Read More about Fluorinated microemulsions as reaction media for fluorous nanoparticles.
