Synthesis and modification of TiO2 and WO3 based nanostructured materials for environmental applications
(2015-10-21)TiO2 and WO3 based nanomaterials are highly attractive for various applications encompassing photocatalysis, electrochromic devices, dye sensitized solar cells, hydrogen production, and sensing applications due to their ... -
Synthesis and study of palladium-containing nanomaterials for hydrogen technologies
(2010)We are currently facing a climate change and global warming effect due to the emission of greenhouse gases from our existing energy sources. A hydrogen-based economy is one solution to uphold our standard of living while ... -
Synthesis of molecular probes for one-electron reduction
(2017)Controlled drug release plays an important role in medicine because it can be a factor in human health care. It is defined as the ability to release a drug inside the body at a specific time. Radiation-sensitive ... -
Synthesis of muramyl dipeptide analogues as immunomodulatory agents
(2018)Peptidoglycan occurs naturally in cell wall structures of almost all types of bacteria. Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is a fragment of peptidoglycan, which consists of N-acetylmuramic acid that is attached to a dipeptide of ... -
Synthesis of novel Lipid A analogs as potential ligands for toll-like receptor 4
(2009)Lipid A, the glycolipid component of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide has been shown to engage the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling pathway. While this signalling cascade results in cellular mediators which ... -
Theoretical and experimental investigation of solvatochromic and photochromic materials
(2010)This thesis includes a study of solvatochromic molecules in the liquid and gas phases, and a study of photochromic molecules in the solid phase. The solvatochromic molecules studied are Nile Red, Betaine 30 and its penta ... -
Utilization of wood based hemicellulose pre-hydrolysate for the production of high value added platform chemicals
(2017)The immense benefits of using renewable resources are because they can reduce global warming and other environmental issues which directly affect life on earth. Forest residues serve as potential renewable resources which ... -
Wastewater Treatment and Water Quality Assessment Through Electrochemical Approaches
(2015)The protection of water resources is becoming one of the most critical issues afflicting people globally. Novel, robust, efficient, and environmentally compatible technologies for the treatment of wastewater and the ...
