Analytical Results on Disorder effects on Polaritons and Barrier Crossing Problems
Disorder plays a significant role in the study of numerous fields of research in chemistry.
Whether it is a more that 80 years old classic problem like Kramers’ escape rate or the current interest in polaritons, disorder ...
Design and Synthesis of Stimuli-responsive Gelators and Novel Gemini Surfactants and Characterization of their Properties upon Self-assembly
Chapter 1. A Brief Overview of Gemini Surfactants and Low Molecular-Weight Gelators (LMWGs)
The first part of this chapter gives a brief account of the research done in the area of aqueous 3D-(ca. micelles and vesicles ...
Constructing transition metal-based heterostructure nanomaterials for electrocatalysis
Storing renewable energy into chemical bonds like hydrogen as a carbon-neutral energy carrier to deliver the energy demands is gaining attention. However, the popular hydrogen production route by water electrolysis involves ...
Synthesis of Amyloidogenic Peptides and Endosomolytic Peptides for Functional and Intracellular Protein Delivery Studies.
Over the past few decades, peptide research gained lot of prominence due to their extensive usage in and across domains ranging from biomedical to bio-material science. This thesis deals with two different types of peptides ...
Theoretical Studies of Polymer Dynamics in Confined Spaces
The growing use of micro- and nano-fabricated devices to study complex biological processes has made it increasingly important to understand the effects of confinement on macromolecular behaviour. In this thesis, I will ...
Shock Tube Investigation and Modeling of Dicyclopentadiene: Fundamental to Application
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a homodimer of cyclopentadiene (C5H6) was chosen for the present study. DCPD can be obtained by dehydrogenation of JP-10 (jet propellant C10H16) which is currently used as aviation fuel. The ...
Development of multifunctional polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethanes as an ‘off-the-shelf’ alloplastic platform for urological reconstruction
Over 400 million patients suffer from urinary bladder-associated physiological disorders
globally, which often necessitate surgical intervention for a reconstructive procedure. The
current gold standard for bladder ...
Quantum Phases and Magnetization Plateaus of Skewed Spin Ladders
This thesis deals with theoretical studies of skewed spin ladders which are two legged ladder with periodic slanted rung bonds and can be viewed as periodic fused rings with two different number of vertices. The spin at ...
Theoretical investigation of H atom tunneling in Catecholate Monoanion: A combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical study
This thesis presents a combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical
study of a system, Catecholate Monoanion (CM) for the study of H atom tunneling. It has an
intramolecular H bond leading to a symmetric ...
Hydrothermal Synthesis of Carbon Nanoparticles for Various Applications
(2018-02-20)
Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) have drawn great attention in the last few years owing to their unique properties such as excellent water solubility, chemical stability, inertness, low toxicity, good bio-compatibility, and ...
