The effects of capping agents on the synthesis of magnetic-luminescent Fe₃O₄ -InP/ZnSe nanocomposite material
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Magnetic luminescent nanoparticles of an iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) superparamagnetic core and an indium phosphide/zinc selenide (InP/ZnSe) quantum dot shell are reported. The magnetic nanoparticles (MNP’s) and quantum dots (QD’s) ...
Durability studies of membrane electrode assemblies for high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) among other fuel cells are considered the best candidate for commercialization of portable and transportation applications because of their high energy conversion and low ...
Advanced Ti – based AB and AB2 hydride forming materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Ti – based AB and AB₂ hydride forming materials have shown to be very promising hydrogen storage alloys due to their reasonable reversible hydrogen storage capacity at near ambient conditions, abundance and low cost. ...
Production and evaluation of a TiO2 based 68Ge/68Ga generator
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
68Ge/68Ga generators rely on metal oxide, inorganic and organic sorbents in order to prepare radionuclides useful for clinical applications. The requirements for 68Ge/68Ga generators are that the 68Ga obtained from the ...
Nanostructured light weight hydrogen storage materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The main objective of this study was to advance kinetic performances of formation and decomposition of magnesium hydride by design strategies which include high energy ball milling in hydrogen (HRBM), in combination with ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of conducting polyaniline-fly ash matrix composites
(2005)
The aim of this study was to produce useful composite materials from fly ash, a major waste product of coal combustion from power plants. Polyaniline-fly ash (PANI-FA) composites were prepared by in situ polymerisation of ...
