A combined SNIFTIRS and XANES study of electrically polarised copper electrodes in DMSO and DMF solutions of cyanate (NCO⁻), thiocyanate (NCS⁻) and selenocyanate (NCSe⁻) ions
(Electrochemical Society, 2015)A SNIFTIRS (subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study of electrically polarized copper electrodes in six polar aprotic solvent-based systems ... -
A cursory study of the bulk and glaze composition plus metal leaching properties of a selection of antique, vintage and present day food and drink ceramic wares using XRF, FTIR, ²⁷Al, ²⁹Si, ³¹P MAS NMR and ICP-MS for providing a characterisation of the types of domestic ceramic ware used in New Zealand currently
(N.Z.Institute of Chemistry, 2014-01)The ceramic utensils used for eating and drinking such as plates, cups, bowls and other items have been a fundamental part of many societies since ancient times. The word “ceramics” is itself derived from the Greek word ... -
An X-ray absorption spectroscopy investigation of the coordination environment of electrogenerated Ni(ii)-pseudohalide complexes arising from the anodic polarization of Ni electrodes in DMSO solutions of NCO⁻ , NCS⁻ and NCSe⁻ ions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) were used to provide direct information in solution on the coordination state of electrogenerated products from anodically ... -
Anodically polarized nickel electrodes in DMSO or DMF solutions of pseudohalide ions: IR spectroelectrochemical studies
(ELECTROCHEMICAL SOC INC, 2013)A novel subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (SNIFTIRS) investigation of anodically polarized nickel electrodes in pseudohalide-containing DMF or DMSO solutions (i.e. OCN⁻, SCN⁻, ... -
The application of co-melt-extruded poly(ε-caprolactone) as a controlled release drug delivery device when combined with novel bioactive drug candidates: Membrane permeation and Hanson dissolution studies
(Elsevier, 2011-05)Eight bioactive drug compounds (abamectin, amoxicillin, dexamethasone, dexamethasone valerate, ketoprofen, melatonin, oestradiol 17β, and oestradiol benzoate) were combined via melt extrusion and disc pressing processes ...

Towards cleaner fertilisers; Solution ion-exchange methods for reducing cadmium levels in reactive phosphate rock
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The aim of this study was to characterise reactive phosphate rock (RPR); a form of rock phosphate which can be used directly as fertiliser, and investigate the potential to reduce cadmium levels in RPR by application of ... -
A study on the use of indigenous New Zealand plant fibres for producing biomorphic hydroxyapatite fibres and chars used in reinforcing biomedical hydroxyapatite sourced from cattle bone
(The University of Waikato, 2022)This research describes studies on the use of animal derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) with natural plant fibres. The study was divided into two sections, a major section and a minor section. The major section describes animal ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of low-cost biopolymeric/mineral composite systems and evaluation of their potential application for heavy metal removal
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Heavy metal pollution and waste management are two major environmental problems faced in the world today. Anthropogenic sources of heavy metals, especially effluent from industries, are serious environmental and health ... -
Explaining marine debris on New Zealand beaches: Empirical beach litter data and an evaluation of waste management practices
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is a widely researched topic, particularly for its impacts on marine wildlife. Terrestrial sources of AMD are substantial, increasing, and primarily considered a result of mismanaged waste. ... -
Calcium phosphate precipitation from whey permeate
(The University of Waikato, 2001)Currently the New Zealand Dairy Industry manufactures a very successful milk calcium product known as ALAMINTM by the precipitation of calcium phosphates (CaP) from various heated whey permeate streams. The main scientific ...
