Synthesis, electrodynamics and biosensor applications of novel sulphonated polyaniline nanocomposites
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The overall aim of this thesis was to prepare nanostructured more processable heteronuclear sulphonated polyanyline nanocomposites with electroconductive properties suitable for applications in biosensors. The sulphonated ...
Nanostructured polypyrrole impedimetric sensors for anthropogenic organic pollutants
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Polypyrrole composites of polyaromatic hydrocarbon sulphonic acids (β–naphthalene sulphonic acid (NSA) and 1, 2-napthaquinone-4-sulphonic acid (NQS)), as well as those of transition metal oxides (tungsten (VI) oxide (WO3) ...
Mercaptobenzothiazole-on-Gold Biosensor Systems for Organophosphate and Carbamate Pesticide Compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
This study firstly reports the development, characterisation, and application of thick-film acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensors based on a gold electrode modified with a mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) self-assembled monolayer ...
The synthesis and evaluation of potential anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and apoptotic agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Tuberculosis (TB) and Cancer are among the most devastating and therapeutically challenging diseases that need to be addressed in South Africa today. The development of muti-drug resistance in TB causing bacteria, Mycobacterium ...
Development of polyaniline nanotube electrocatalysts and sesor devices for phenolic-pollutants
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
As a source of life, water is one of the most precious commodities for all living organisms. Water resources are reported to be declining in numbers or the amount of water present and the existing onses are being polluted ...
Development of new dendritic ligands for copper mediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
A variety of nitrogen based dendritic ligands have been synthesized and used in copper mediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) of MMA. These ligands were derived from the commercially available Generation 1 ...
