| Popis: | An improved tumour response to conventional radiotherapy has been observed when the mass has been doped with colloidal gold nanoparticles, with the hydroxyl radical implicated as the primary mediator. This thesis investigates the physical chemistry which drives this observed enhancement, focussing mainly on the quantification of hydroxyl radical production, and posits a new mechanistic pathway to account for it. |
