Mammalian cell-driven polymerisation of pyrrole (2018)
Journal Article
Sherman, H. G., Jain, A., Stolnik, S., Alexander, C., Rawson, F. J., & Hicks, J. (2018). Mammalian cell-driven polymerisation of pyrrole. ChemBioChem, 20(8), 1008-1013. https://doi.org/10.1002/cbic.201800630

A model cancer cell line was used to initiate polymerisation of pyrrole to form the conducting material polypyrrole. The polymerisation was shown to occur via cytosolic exudates rather than via membrane redox sites which normally control the oxidatio...

Dynamic nuclear polarisation enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of surface modification of γ-alumina (2018)
Journal Article
Mais, M., Paul, S., Barrow, N. S., & Titman, J. J. (2018). Dynamic nuclear polarisation enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of surface modification of γ-alumina. Johnson Matthey Technology Review, 62(3), 271-278. https://doi.org/10.1595/205651318x696765

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) gives large (>100-fold) signal enhancements in solid-state NMR spectra via the transfer of spin polarization from unpaired electrons from radicals implanted in the sample. This means that the detailed information ab... Read More about Dynamic nuclear polarisation enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of surface modification of γ-alumina.

Gallium incorporation into phosphate based glasses: bulk and thin film properties (2018)
Journal Article
Stuart, B. W., Grant, C. A., Stan, G. E., Popa, A. C., Titman, J. J., & Grant, D. M. (2018). Gallium incorporation into phosphate based glasses: bulk and thin film properties. Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 82, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2018.03.041

The osteogenic ions Ca2+, P5+, Mg2+, and antimicrobial ion Ga3+ were homogenously dispersed into a 1.45 mum thick phosphate glass coating by plasma assisted sputtering onto CP grade titanium. The objective was to deliver therapeutic ions in orthopedi... Read More about Gallium incorporation into phosphate based glasses: bulk and thin film properties.

Structure of ancient glass by 29Si magic angle spinning NMR (2018)
Journal Article
Bradford, H., Ryder, A., Henderson, J., & Titman, J. J. (2018). Structure of ancient glass by 29Si magic angle spinning NMR. Chemistry - A European Journal, 24(29), 7474-7479. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201800483

29Si magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy is applied for the first time to the structural analysis of ancient glass samples obtained from archaeological excavations. The results show that it is possible to establish the distribution of Si envi... Read More about Structure of ancient glass by 29Si magic angle spinning NMR.
