Synthetic strategies for denatured cytochrome-c analogues towards analytical reporting of NOx species
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role as biological messenger in the biological system, however detection and quantification thereof has always posed significant problems. NOx is a principal constituent of air pollutants. ...
The design of ultrasensitive immunosensors based on a new multi-signal amplification gold nanoparticles-dotted 4-nitrophenylazo functionalised graphene sensing platform for the determination of deoxynivalenol
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
A highly dispersive gold nanoparticle-dotted 4-nitrophenylazo functionalised graphene
nanocomposite (AuNp/G/PhNO2) was successfully synthesised and applied in enhancing
sensing platform signals. Three label-free ...
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 ...
Synthesis, electrodynamics and biosensor applications of novel sulphonated polyaniline nanocomposites
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The overall aim of this thesis was to prepare nanostructured more processable heteronuclear sulphonated polyanyline nanocomposites with electroconductive properties suitable for applications in biosensors. The sulphonated ...
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 ...
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. ...
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. ...
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. ...
