ynthetic materials are an everyday component of modern healthcare yet often fail routinely as a consequence of medical‐device‐centered infections. The incidence rate for catheter‐associated urinary tract infections is between 3% and 7% for each day o...

Methodology for the synthesis of methacrylate monomers using designed single mode microwave applicators (2019)
Journal Article
Dundas, A. A., Hook, A. L., Alexander, M. R., Kingman, S. W., Dimitrakis, G., & Irvine, D. J. (2019). Methodology for the synthesis of methacrylate monomers using designed single mode microwave applicators. Reaction Chemistry and Engineering, 4(8), 1472-1476. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9re00173e

© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A novel single-well prototype high throughput microwave reactor geometry has been produced and shown to be capable of synthesizing an array of non-commercially available methacrylate monomers. The reactor, which... Read More about Methodology for the synthesis of methacrylate monomers using designed single mode microwave applicators.

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulations, predicting the dielectric properties of near-critical and supercritical methanol and ethanol at microwave frequencies have been carried out. The autocorrelation functions of the dielectri...
