Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by a green process and the investigation of their physical properties
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide and direct semiconductor with a wurtzite crystal structure. Its
multifunctionality as the ideal candidate in applications such as blue-UV light emitting
diodes, transparent conducting oxide, ...
Synthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles embedded on various polymers
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
During the course of this study iron oxide nanoparticles, which have been researched for drug-targeted delivery, were synthesised via the co-precipitation method and characterised using various methods. This study focused ...
Synthesis, characterization and anticancer effects of quantum dots in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining increased popularity for cancer treatment,
