Cytochrome C biosensor for the determination of trace level arsenic and cyanide compounds
Fuku, Xolile Godfrey (University of the Western Cape, 2011)In this work, an electrochemical method based on a cyt c biosensor has been developed, for the detection of selected arsenic and cyanide compounds. Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) electrode was used as a transducer, onto which ... -
Development of electrochemical sensors containing bimerallic silver and gold nanoparticles
Mailu, Stephen Nzioki (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that have been shown to be teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic and pose serious threats to the health of aquatic and human life. Several methods ... -
The development of l-phenylalanine biosensor using boron-doped diamond (bdd) electrode modified with poly aniline-polyvinyl sulphonate composite film
Mangombo, Zelo (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 characterization of nanostructured SnO2 and TiO2 for potential application as dielectric materials in sulfonated-polyaniline based supercapacitors
Ngqongwa, Lundi Vincent (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 ... -
Electrolytic determination of phthalates organic pollutants with n nostructured titanium and iron oxides sensors
Matinise, Nolubabalo (University of the Western Cape, 2010)This work reports the chemical synthesis, characterisation and electrochemical application of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles in the determination of phthalates. The other part of this work ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical modulation of the actuator properties of poly(phenazine-2,3-diimino (pyrrol-2-yl))
Botha, Shanielle Veronique (University of the Western Cape, 2008)The focus of this study is to synthesize a novel hinged polymer actuator. The linking molecule (hinge) is phenazine with interconnected dipyrrole units.
