Oleiwi, H., Wang, Y., Curioni, M., Chen, X., Yao, G., Augusthus Nelson, L., …Shabalin, I. (2018). An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete. Materials and Structures, 51(6), 148. https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-018-1273-1

Cathodic protection (CP) is being increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcing bars from corrosion in aggressive conditions. Due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the design specifications in national...

Microwave assisted synthesis of novel bis-flavone dimers as new anticancer agents (2018)
Journal Article
Ragazzon, P., McGown, A., Ragazzon-Smith, A., Hadfield, J., & Potgetier, H. (2018). Microwave assisted synthesis of novel bis-flavone dimers as new anticancer agents. Letters in Organic Chemistry, 16(1), 66-75. https://doi.org/10.2174/1570178615666180621094529

In this study we describe a microwave based click chemistry method used to prepare a family of novel bis-flavone dimers. The substituted 7-hydroxy and 4’-hydroxy flavonoids were linked through a triazole ring. The compounds were easily synthesized an...

Abstract. Childhood bone cancer though rare, has very limited treatment choices, with poor survival rates and often involving amputation. We have developed a novel molecule, 2', 4'-dihydroxy-dithion-dibenzoyl-methane and tested it on hepatic, colon,...
