Theoretical Studies Of The Thermodynamics And Kinetics Of Selected Single-Molecule Systems
(2013-02-25)
This thesis is a report of the work I have done over the last five years to study thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of single-molecule behavior in the condensed phase. It is concerned specifically with the development of ...
Controlling The Conformation Of Polymers In Solution And Synthesis And Characterization Of 'Clickable' Polyesters
(2013-01-11)
The thesis constitutes investigations from two distinct areas of research. One part deals with controlling and modulating the conformation of linear polymer in solution. Folding of a polymer chain has been achieved by ...
Materials For Hydrogen Generation, Storage, And Catalysis
(2013-01-22)
Hydrogen, nature’s simple and the most abundant element has been in the limelight for the past few decades from the stand point of the so-called hydrogen economy. With a high calorific value (142 MJ/kg) that is three times ...
Intercalation Of Alkyl Surfactants In Layered Double Hydroxides : The Anchored Bilayer In Dispersions And The Condensed Phase
(2013-05-23)
Bilayers formed by molecules that possess long alkyl hydrophobic tails are ubiquitous in the natural world manifesting both in biological systems as well as in chemistry. The lipid bilayer is an integral feature of cell ...
Chemistry Of Ferrocene Conjugates Showing DNA Cleavage And Photocytotoxic Activity
(2013-06-26)
Ferrocene is an important molecule in the field of chemical biology due to its stability, unique redox property and significant lipophilicity for better cellular delivery. The medicinal importance of ferrocene is well ...
Controlling Conformation Of Macromolecules Using Non-Covalent Interaction And Micellization Behaviour Of Isomeric Phenyl Bearing Cationic Surfactants
(2013-06-24)
This thesis contains investigations in two different areas, described under six chapters. Chapter 1 contains a broad introduction to the area of foldamers, while Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 deal with various novel classes of ...
Thermal Expansion And Related Studies In Cordierite Ceramics And Relaxor Ferroelectrics
(2013-07-02)
The following investigations have been carried out in this thesis
1)Cordierite is already well known for its low thermal expansion behaviour. Chemical substitutions at various octahedral and tetrahedral sites have been ...
Synthesis And Structural Characterization Of TiO2-Based Hybrid Nanostructures For Photovoltaic Applications
(2013-05-31)
Increased demand of power, limited fuel resources and environmental concerns have recently prompted a huge thrust on research areas of alternative energy and photovoltaics have been hailed as energy source for future. ...
