Synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles through green and gamma radiolysis approaches for environmental remediation applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles (NPs) using versatile routes, is a major concern since physio-chemical methods are not environmentally benign. Breaking down the immiscibility would generate NPs ... -
Using semantic profiling to characterize pedagogical practices and student learning : a case study in two introductory physics courses
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Framed by the South African imperative of widening epistemological access to undergraduate science studies, this research takes the form of a case study to investigate the educational affordances of an extended introductory ...
