This thesis consists of two subjects, penetration of a coating fluid into paper and molecular simulation of pillared clays and adsorption of multicomponent gas mixture in them. The first part, discusses the characterization of the microstructure of the paper, and penetration of …
An equifield strength model has been established to elucidate the formation mechanism for the highly ordered alumina pore arrays and titanium oxide nanotubular arrays prepared via a common electrochemical methodology, anodisation. The fundamentals of the equifield strength model…
The synthesis and properties of novel Metal Organic Frameworks were investigated and reported in this thesis. Thirteen new materials have been synthesized and their properties have been discussed with nine of the structures being solved. The most interesting and useful MOF among…
Three-dimensional porous single crystals (PSCs) are a recent development in the growing world of mesoporous material. The mesoporosity allows for the material to retain their nanoproperties whilst being bulk in size. The current work concentrates on chromium oxide and cobalt oxi…
