Study of magnetic properties of nanostructures on self-assembled patterns
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In the current study, we give a report when oxalic acid was used as an electrolyte to synthesize an AAO template with hexagonal pore array. Optimum parameters were observed as 0.4 M of oxalic acid, anodizing voltage of 45 ...
Three dimensional thermal modelling of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells in a serpentine design
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The aim of my work is to model a segment of a unit cell of a fuel cell stack using numerical methods which is classified as computational fluid dynamics and implementing the work in a commercial computational fluid dynamics ...
Structure property relationship and thermal stability of organic photovoltaic cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this thesis, regioregularpoly( 3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) polymer was used as a light absorption and electron donating material, while the C60 fullerene and its derivative [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester ...
Radiometric characterisation of vineyard soils, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility of using the radiometric technique as an alternative to traditional methods for determining soil physico-chemical parameters which are important for terroir characterization. ...
Towards stimuli-responsive functional nanocomposites: Smart tunable plasmonic nanostructures au-v02
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The fascinating optical properties of metallic nanostructures, dominated by collective
oscillations of free electrons known as plasmons, open new opportunities for the
development of devices fabrication based on noble ...
Ion genaration, deflection and deposition in vacuum
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In the PBMR it is known that at high temperatures (above 1250 'C) silver-110m is known to have been released from the TRISO particles and taken up by the helium coolant stream. The released silver-ll0m travels with the ...
