Stimuli-responsive polymers and their use in biomedical applications have been widely investigated in recent years. These polymers change their physical properties such as water-solubility, when subjected to certain stimuli, for example change in temperature or pH. The main purp…
The primary aim of this dissertation was to prepare catalysts of Co(II) and their use in polymerization reactions. For this purpose, dioxime complexes of Co(II) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental and spectroscopic techniques. This new class of metal-chelates wa…
In biotechnology and drug delivery silica materials are of interest but the controlled generation of silicic acid is difficult. To get more insight into the molecular mechanisms that control biosilification, it is important to study the proteins involved in this process. The spo…
2-Methyleneglutaronltrlle (MGN) has been prepared by the catalytic dimerisation of acrylonitrile. The radical homopolymerisation of dinitrile monomer was investigated. As a method of preparing PMGN, radical initiation suffers from the drawback of competing reactions, resulting I…
Ordered mesoporous materials raised a wide interest in the scientific community due to their unique structural properties which encompasses nanosize ordered channels. These materials have potential applications in diverse technological fields such as catalysis, membranes, microe…
A new generation of catalytic chemical vapor deposition reactor was designed and fabricated locally at the department of chemical engineering, and it is called orifice chemical vapor deposition (O-CVD) reactor, to produce well aligned multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with high …
