    The development of functionalized metallic nanoparticles for the treatment of brain cancer 

    Fipaza, Vincent Lukhanyiso (University of the Western Cape, 2019)
    Cancers of the nervous system often result from abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in nervous tissue. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) and neuroblastoma (NB) are among the most common nervous system-associated cancers ...

    Synthesis and characterization of zinc-doped magnetic nanoparticles for diagnostic studies 

    Allard, Garvin Richard Johan (University of the Western Cape, 2015)
    In the present study we report the synthesis and characterization of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles doped with zinc in an attempt to enhance the magnetic properties. The nanoparticles were prepared via the co-precipitation ...

    The effects of capping agents on the synthesis of magnetic-luminescent Fe₃O₄ -InP/ZnSe nanocomposite material 

    Paulsen, Zuraan (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) ...

    The interaction between 6 MV X-rays and p(66)/Be neutrons with spherical gold nanoparticles to induce cellular damage 

    Engelbrecht, Monique (University of the Western Cape, 2016)
    Despite the advances in therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, tumours have been shown to be resistant to the treatments. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been recognized as effective radiosensitizers of low energy ...

    Optical and microarray silver-gold based sensors for the detection of e.coli 0157:h7 in seawater 

    Nqunq, Sphamandla (University of the Western Cape, 2021)
    Recently researchers reported that nanoparticles functionalised through chemical methods possess risks to the environment and to the human health since they use hazardous chemicals and produce toxic waste. The increasing ...

    The assessment of the bactericidal effect of green synthesized silver nanoparticles against a panel of infectious microorganisms 

    Mokone, Mmola (University of the Western Cape, 2016)
    The emergence of multiple drug resistant microorganisms poses a major threat to human life. These microorganisms have made the currently used antibiotics ineffective and therefore continue to thrive. Therefore, there is a ...

    Graphene supported antimony nanoparticles on carbon electrodes for stripping analysis of environmental samples 

    Silwana, Bongiwe (University of the Western Cape, 2015)
    Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), particularly palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) have been identified as pollutants in the environment due to their increased use in catalytic converters and mining in South Africa ...

    Development of a bismuth-silver nanofilm sensor for the determination of platinum group metals in environmental samples. 

    Van der Horst, Charlton (University of the Western Cape, 2015)
    Nowadays, the pollution of surface waters with chemical contaminants is one of the most crucial environmental problems. These chemical contaminants enter rivers and streams resulting in tremendous amount of destruction, ...

    Heavy and precious metal toxicity evaluation using a horseradish peroxidase immobilised biosensor 

    Silwana, Bongiwe (University of the Western Cape, 2012)
    Environmental pollution is always the hottest topic in public conversation and one of the most concerned aspects of human health. The thin film sputtered microelectrode devices have been developed to improve the quality ...

    The impact of nanoparticles on the proteome of cultured human cells 

    David, Oladipupo Moyinoluwa (2021)
    Living organisms are constantly being exposed to nanoparticles (NPs) in the environment via air, water, soil. Routes of exposure are usually in the form of industrial, occupational exposure, as well as therapeutic ...
