Growth and characterization of group III-nitrides by migration enhanced afterglow epitaxy
(2014-12-11)
The work presented in this thesis investigates the growth and properties of group III- nitride semiconductors that were grown using the Migration Enhanced Afterglow Epitaxy (MEAglow) method. This work was to enhance the ...
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 ...
The Effect of Pesticides on the Degradation of Oxobiodegradable Agricultural Mulch Films
(2015)
Oxobiodegradable agriculture mulch films made from polyethylene (PE) are known to
have many benefits for agriculture practice, including increased yields and resource efficiency,
without the drawback of removing the ...
The development of an in-situ ATR-FTIR technique for the study of nanomaterials
(2009)
The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique utilizes a short acquisition time and high sensitivity to function as a strong analytical tool in electrochemical studies. This work will focus on the development of ...
Organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)
Oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. Other ring systems,
especially those lacking at least C2v symmetry are much less common. We investigated
thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ...
Cross-coupling reactions: synthesis and photoactivity of enediynes
(2015-02-02)
The syntheses of a number of photoactive enediynes using the Sonogashira Coupling reaction are described. Alkynes with different characteristics were coupled to 2-bromoiodobenzene to yield the desired drugs. The enediyne’s ...
The Synthesis and kinetic evaluation of lysosomotropic substrate-based probes for cathepsins B and L
(2015-10-21)
Members of the cathepsin family of cysteine proteases are gaining interest as potential imaging biomarkers and drug targets due to their multifunctional roles in a range of diseases such as cancer, asthma and arthritis. ...
Constructing two-dimensional molecular networks on metal and semiconducting surfaces : a scanning tunneling microscopy study
(2019)
The synthesis of two-dimensional organic nanostructures on metal and semiconducting surfaces is studied under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Three halogenated organic molecules are investigated using scanning tunneling ...
Coordination chemistry of bithiazole ligands: a comparative study of the 2,2’ and 4,4’ isomers
(2019)
The bithiazole ring system consists of two thiazole (C3NS) aromatic rings. There are many regioisomers but two of potential interest for coordination chemistry are the 2,2’-bis(1,3-thiazole) and the 4,4’-bis(1,3-thiazole), ...
