Heavy and precious metal toxicity evaluation using a horseradish peroxidase immobilised biosensor
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Environmental pollution is always the hottest topic in public conversation and one of the most concerned aspects of human health. The thin film sputtered microelectrode devices have been developed to improve the quality ...
Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)
Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of
the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to
significantly shorten the TB treatment ...
Graphenated polyaniline nanocomposite for the determination of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in water
(2013)
The thesis presents a simple, sensitive, low cost and a novel graphenated polyaniline doped tungsten trioxide nanocomposite, as an electrochemical sensor for the detection and quantitative and determination of PAHs, which ...
Towards rapid electrochemical test system of polyanilino-laccase-on-gold enzyme nanobiosensor for water estrogens
(2013)
Current water treatment technologies do not remove many endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in its entirety, and the amount of these pollutants that continues to enter the aquatic ...
Electrochemical ochratoxin a immunosensors based on polyaniline nanocomposites templated with amine- and sulphate-functionalised polystyrene latex beads
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Polyaniline nanocomposites doped with poly(vinylsulphonate) (PV-SO3) and nanostructured polystyrene (PSNP) latex beads functionalized with amine (PSNP-NH2) and sulphate ((PSNP-OSO3) were prepared and characterised for use ...
Electrochemical characterization of nanostructured SnO2 and TiO2 for potential application as dielectric materials in sulfonated-polyaniline based supercapacitors
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this research project, nanostructured composites based on Tin dioxide (SnO2) and Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with poly-4-styrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) doped polyaniline (PANI) conducting polymer has been investigated based ...
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 ...
Electro chemiluminescence and organic electronics of derivatised poly(aniline sulphonic acid) light-emitting diodes
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Electrochemiluminescence (EeL) is applied for industrial applications that have considerable potential, such as clinical diagnostic, analytical chemistry, and light-emitting devices, due to selectivity, sensitivity for ...
