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 ...
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 ...
Investigation of Psychrophilic SUMO Proteases: Towards a More Efficient SUMO Protease at Lower Temperature
Covalent attachment of the fusion protein, Small Ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), to recalcitrant
target proteins (especially transmembrane proteins) make purification of the target protein much
easier by enhancing its ...
Supramolecular Self-assembly of Diketopyrrolopyrrole with Emergent Photophysics and Unprecedented Photoconductivity
Structural fluctuation in organic molecular semiconductors often plays a key role in fragmenting the conducting pathways even in their condensed phases due to the large fraction of free volumes, acting as trap sites for ...
Minerals to Functional Materials: Comprehensive Evaluation of Vanthoffites and Related Materials towards Futuristic Multifunctional Applications
The thesis provides a systematic investigation of materials derived from different mineral species such as vanthoffite and related minerals structures. Search of new multifunctional materials continues to be a challenge ...
Shock tube experimental and advanced computational investigations on pyrolysis of cyclohexane derivatives and C2 + C2 reaction
My thesis involves studying the pyrolysis/thermal decomposition of cyclohexane derivatives (important constituents of conventional transportation fuel). From the literature as well as the composition analysis of two fuels ...
Polymerizable Porogen – Direct generation of internally functionalized porous polymers
Bicontinuous functional porous polymers are desirable in terms of pore accessibility, particularly for applications in templating, chromatographic separation, and catalysis. Bicontinuous morphologies can be obtained by ...
C-H Bond Functionalization and Tandem Cyclization with Alkynoates and Maleimides Using Directing Group Strategy
The thesis presents manganese‒ and rhodium‒catalyzed C‒H bond activation and tandem cyclization reactions. These reactions lead to the construction of carbon‒carbon bonds using directing group strategy. The thesis is divided ...
