The development of graphene oxide sheet- and polyanilino-immunosensor systems for lipoarabinomannan (LAM) tuberculosis biomarker
Wilson, Lindsay Robin (University of the Western Cape, 2017)Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with adverse effect on a global scale. The disease is one of the major causes of death in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly 70% of TB-infected persons are co-infected by the human ... -
Electrochemical characterization of nanostructured SnO2 and TiO2 for potential application as dielectric materials in sulfonated-polyaniline based supercapacitors
Ngqongwa, Lundi Vincent (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 ... -
Electrodeposition of multi-valent metal oxides at 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ionic liquid - carbon paste electrode
Qwesha, Sibusiso (University of the Western Cape, 2012)A study on carbon paste electrode (CPE) materials containing 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [MOIM[Tƒ2N] – a hydrophobic room temperature ionic liquid (IL) - is reported. CPEs with (a) the ... -
Electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7-dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene in ionic liquids
Tsegaye, Abebaw Adgo (2013)This thesis is based on the study of electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7- dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) (P(DTBT) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene (MOT) in imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) ... -
Towards rapid electrochemical test system of polyanilino-laccase-on-gold enzyme nanobiosensor for water estrogens
Qakala, Sinazo (2013)Current water treatment technologies do not remove many endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in its entirety, and the amount of these pollutants that continues to enter the aquatic ... -
The use of cyclodextrin template-based metal oxide nanomaterials in the development of electrochemical sensors for phenolic endocrine disruptor compounds
Masikini, Milua (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method in the presence and absence of beta-cyclodextrin β-CD). Such materials were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive ...
