Electrochemical Supercapacitor Investigations Of MnO2 And Mn(OH)2
(2013-04-30)
Electrical double-layer formed at the electrode/electrolyte interface in combination with electron-transfer reaction can lead to many important applications of electrochemistry, including energy storage devices, namely, ...
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
