The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a major tyrosine kinase that is responsible for cell growth, differentiation and proliferation in human bodies. EGFR overexpression has been detected in various cancer cell ...

This dissertation discusses the synthesis method known as laser pyrolysis. The theory on laser pyrolysis has been inferred since 1975, but it is insufficient in predicting the products that can be formed. This is due to ...

In this dissertation, the extraction and characterisation of cellulose fibres from a low-cost maize tassel agricultural waste material was carried out. This was achieved by base treatment of maize tassel using an alkaline ...

In this study, an attempt was made to synthesis SAPO-34 using piperidine as structure directing agent/ template. The synthesis parameters such as crystallization temperature, crystallization time, phosphorus content and ...

The fast industrialization that has been the key to the increased quality of the lives of humans and other animals has not been without its disadvantages. The epitome to this is the continued generation of coal fly ash ...

The dissertation studies the synthesis, formulation development, crosslinking and spectral characterisation of dehydrated castor oil poly(glyceryl phthalate) alkyd resins for use as air-dry surface coating vehicles. Synthesis ...

Herein we report on different synthetic strategies of magnetic semiconductor nanoparticles and we probe their optical, electrical and magnetic properties as well as review some of the possible application of these materials. ...

The quest for the processing of glass scaffolds that remains amorphous upon sintering while maintaining a fast dissolution and conversion to hydroxyapatite rate is growing. Therefore; glasses within the borosilicate ...

Introduction: A fuel cell is based on a rather simple design (hence the popularity of use in various industries) and is made up of multiple components tightly pressed together to form the unit –commonly referred to as the ...
