Nanoparticles-infused lithium manganese phosphate coated with magnesium-gold composite thin film - a possible novel material for lithium ion battery olivine cathode.
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Architecturally enhanced electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIB) with permeable morphologies have received broad research interests over the past years for their promising properties. However, literature based ...
Liquid-liquid interface ion-transfer amperometric sensors for tenofovir as a model nucleoside/nucleotide anti-retroviral drug
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Amperometric sensors for Tenofovir, a model nucleotide/ nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ARV drug, were studied based on the principle of ion-transfer electrochemistry at the membrane-stabilized oil/ water interface ...
Cytochrome P450 2E1/Nickel-Poly(propylene imine) dendrimeric nanobiosensor for pyrazinamide - A first line TB Drug
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The tuberculosis (TB) disease to this day remains one of the world’s prominent killerdiseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the most commonly prescribed anti- tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to significantly ...
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 ...
The preparation of an immunosensor for the detection of microcystins and nodularins by immobilisation of a labelled antibody onto a polymer modified electrode
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
South African dams and reservoirs are increasingly showing the propensity to support sustained populations of Cyanobacteria (blue green algae). These photosynthetic bacteria occur throughout the world and can rapidly form ...
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 Isolation and Electrochemical Studies of Flavanoids from Galenia africana and Elytropapus rhinocerotis from the North Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this study two medicinal plant species, namely Galenia africana and Elytropapus rhinocerotis, the former belonging to the family Aizoceae and the latter belonging to the family Asteraceae, have been investigated and ...
Nanocomposite immunosensor for anti-transglutaminase antibody
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Coeliac disease (CD) is a gluten intolerance condition that results in the flattening of the villi, which line the bowel. It is the most common cause of malabsorption of food nutrients. This inability to absorb sufficient ...
Electrochemical immunosensor based on cyclodextrin supramolecular interactions for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are important enzymes for the development of amperometric enzyme linked immunosensors. The selectivity of each enzyme towards its analyte deepens its importance in ...
