Journal ArticleDOI
Silver nanoparticles and polymeric medical devices: a new approach to prevention of infection?
Franck Furno,Kelly S. Morley,Ben Wong,Barry L. Sharp,Polly L. Arnold,Steven M. Howdle,Roger Bayston,Paul D. Brown,Peter D. Winship,Helen J. Reid +9 more
TL;DR: A completely new approach using supercritical carbon dioxide to impregnate silicone with nanoparticulate silver metal allows for the first time silver impregnation of medical polymers and promises to lead to an antimicrobial biomaterial whose activity is not restricted by increasing antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes
Polly L. Arnold,Stephen Pearson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes exhibit unusual binding behavior and it is important to understand why such abnormal binding occurs and what effects this could have on the catalytic properties of NHC complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anionic tethered N-heterocyclic carbene chemistry
TL;DR: This tutorial review introduces the reader to NHCs, covers general synthetic methods to prepare anionic tethered N HCs and their metal complexes, and discusses emerging applications in reactivity and catalytic studies.
