Polymeric tyrosinase nanobiosensor system for the determination of endocrine disrupting bisphenol A
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The main objective of this work was to develop simple and sensitive electrochemical sensors for the detection of bisphenol A. To investigate the electrochemical behavior of BPA on a bare glassy carbon electrode. To apply ...
Synthesis of sulphonated and transition metal oxide doped polymeric nanocomposites for application in design of supercapacitors
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
To meet a fast-growing market demand for next generation portable electronic devices with higher performance and increased device functionalities, efficient electrical energy devices with substantially higher energy, power ...
Low temperature tungsten trioxide nano/micro-systems for applications in gas sensing and electrochromism
(2013)
In this work we primarily set out to investigate the technique of Aqueous Chemical Growth as a means of producing WO3 thin films that find applications in gas sensing and electrochromism. For the first time we demonstrated ...
Synthesis and electrochemistry of novel conducting dendrimeric star copolymers on poly(propylene imine) dendrimer
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
One of the most powerful aspects of conducting polymers is their ability to be nanostructured through innovative, synthetically manipulated, transformations, such as to tailor-make the polymers for specialized applications. ...
Determination of paracetamol at the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-metal nanocomposite modified pencil graphite (ERGO-MC-PGE) electrode using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
This project focuses on the development of simple, highly sensitive, accurate, and low cost electrochemical sensors based on the modification of pencil graphite electrodes by the electrochemical reduction of graphene ...
AtNOGC1 protein bioelectrode for the determination of stress signalling molecules - Nitric Oxide (NO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Calcium ion (Ca2+)
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
It has been estimated that the world population will reach about 10 billion by the year 2050 and in order to accommodate the increased demand of food, the world agricultural production needs to rise by 70 % in the year ...
Novel aromatic dendritic-co-poly(3-hexylthiophene) composites for photovoltaic cell application
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Fossil fuels are part of fuels that are formed from natural processes and they are called non-renewable sources of energy. These include natural gas, coal and oil. They have been used for decades to produce energy globally. ...
The development of l-phenylalanine biosensor using boron-doped diamond (bdd) electrode modified with poly aniline-polyvinyl sulphonate composite film
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The aim of this project was to develop a biosensor on a modified boron-doped diamond (BDD)
platform in order to determine L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) levels in the aqueous media and real
samples. A BDD electrode modified ...
Electrochemical responses of novel preferentially oriented platinum (100) nanoalloys for ammonia and hydrazine catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Ammonia has attracted attention as a possible fuel for direct fuel cells since it is easy to handle under low pressure, costs only slightly higher than methanol and can easily be cracked down into hydrogen and nitrogen. ...
