Controlling the carbon-bio interface: ex-situ and in-situ studies of fundamental biomolecule--carbon reactions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2017)Carbon materials and nanomaterials are of great interest for biological applications such as implantable apparatus and nanoparticle vectors. In particular, amorphous carbon is extensively used as coating for biomedical devices ... -
Design and Synthesis of Terpyridine Functionalised Supramolecular Architectures
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)Coordination-driven supramolecular assembly is an extremely useful tool to generate architectures of increased complexity and functionality, such as metallo-supramolecular gels and emissive materials. Interest in the ... -
Development of a robust throughput process for the production of PMMA membranes via a TIPS air casting method
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)Lateral flow membranes (membranes that allow movement of fluid across the membrane rather than through it) play a crucial role in the functionality of immunoassay devices determining performance speed and assay reliability. ... -
Development of Supramolecular Coordination Materials Using Naphthalimide and 2,6-bis(triazol-4-yl)pyridine Motifs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Structural coordination chemistry can be ultilised to develop functional supramolecular materials such as coordination polymers, soft materials, and metal organic frameworks. By applying the principles of self-assembly an ... -
Energy Storage and Conversion Applications of Transition Metal Oxide Nanoflakes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)In this work, MoO3 and Co(OH)2 were prepared via liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) and tested for application as supercapacitor materials and for a catalyst material for the oxygen evolution reaction (Co(OH)2 only). LPE was ... -
Non-crystalline nitrogenated carbon electrode materials: Bulk and surface doping methods for controlling electrochemical properties
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2020)Carbon is ubiquitous as an electrode material and its electronic and capacitive properties and its surface chemistry are suitable for electrode materials for several applications such as fuel cells, capacitive storage ... -
Studies of a series of Benzene-1,3,5-derivatives and some other supramolecular building blocks and their self-assembly properties
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)This thesis, titled Studies of a series of Benzene-1,3,5-derivatives and some other supramolecular building blocks and their self-assembly properties , describes the synthesis and characterisation of novel tripodal systems ... -
Supramolecular soft materials and structural studies of a series of BTA and pyridine-dicarboxamide derivatives with various d-metal ions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)As will be discussed in the introduction, the control and tuning of the self-assembly of supramolecular soft materials is an area of great current interest and importance. A particularly interesting motif for investigating ... -
Synthesis and Characterisation of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides and their Heterostructures
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2021)Since the first isolation of graphene in 2004 the interest in 2D materials has exponentially grown. Two-dimensional layered materials demonstrate profoundly different properties when isolated in their mono- or few layer ... -
Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterisation of Pristine Metal-Organic Frameworks, Thin-Films and Derived Materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid coordination materials, characterised by their high surface area and internal porosity, formed from organic linkers and inorganic nodes. Additionally, MOFs have the ability to act ... -
The synthesis, photophysical and biological evaluation of glycosylated naphthalimides for medicinal and material applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)This thesis entitled ‘Synthesis, Photophysical and Biological Evaluation of Glycosylated Naphthalimides for Medicinal and Materials Applications’ is divided into 8 chapters, in which Chapter 1, the introduction, gives an ...
