Structure And Dynamics Of Interfacial And Confined Water
(2011-03-28)Understanding the structure and dynamics of molecularly thin films or the state of water confined to nanoscale dimensions is an active field of research and has wide applications in areas ranging from biology to geology. ... -
Studies In Low Density Polyethylene-Starch Blends
(2011-05-04) -
Studies In Stability Of Newtonian And Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past Rigid And Flexible Surfaces
(2010-09-23)The surface oscillations in a deformable wall are known to induce an instability in the adjacent flow even in the absence of inertia. This instability, if understood properly, can be exploited to generate a well-mixed flow ... -
Studies in Water Treatment : Defluoridation using Adsorption, Denitrification using a Microbial Fuel Cell, and Contaminant Removal using Solar Distillation
(2018-05-23)This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ... -
Studies On Oxidation Of Benzylidene Derivatives
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-05)Perfumery compounds isoeugenol and isosafrole can be oxidized to their aldehydes, vanillin and heliotropin respectively. The aldehydes obtained are very useful and commercially valuable products. Apart from their importance ... -
Studies On Phase Inversion
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-04)Agitated dispersions of one liquid in another immiscible liquid are widely used in chemical industry in operations such as liquid-liquid extraction, suspension polymerisation, and blending of polymers. When holdup of the ... -
Studies On Toughening Of Epoxy Resins Using Elastomers

Study of Phase Equilibria and Interfacial Properties of Systems Containing Clathrate Hydrates Using Molecular Simulations
Gas hydrates, also known as clathrate hydrates are nonstoichiometric and crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules. If the gas molecules are natural gas components, such as methane, ethane, propane, etc., ... -
Study of solvent induced polymorphism and crystal nucleation from solution
Crystal polymorphism is the existence of different crystal structures for the same compound. Different polymorphs will have different physical properties, such as solubility and dissolution rate. The early stage of ... -
Swelling and Dye Adsorption Characteristics of Superabsorbent Polymers
(2018-07-18)In the current study, SAPs of cationic monomer [2 - (Methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride have been prepared by free radical solution polymerisation with different crosslinkers. They were subjected to repeated ... -
Synthesis Of Biodiesel In Supercritical Fluids
(2008-01-25)Alternative fuels are becoming important due to diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the environmental hazards associated with exhaust gases. Biodiesel is an attractive alternative fuel because it is environmentally ... -
Synthesis of Thermally Stable Catalysts for Methane Reforming and CO Abatement
The global energy consumption is estimated to reach around 262×1012 kWh/year by 2050 for 9 billion people. It is a challenge to meet global energy requirement via clean fuel (hydrogen) and by reducing/utilizing the CO2 ... -
Testing the Hypothesis of Quorum Sensing in Vibrio fischeri : Luminescence, Motility, and Biofilm
(2018-03-15)The individual behaviour of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria often gives rise to complexity that is commonly associated with multicellular behaviour. The transition from unicellular to multicellular behaviour occurs ... -
Turbulence in Soft Walled Micro Channels
(2017-12-07)In comparison to the flow in a rigid channel, there is a multi-fold reduction in the transition Reynolds number for the flow in a micro channel when one of the walls is made sufficiently soft, due to a dynamical instability ... -
Unraveling the Evolutionary Advantages of Crosstalk Between Two-Component Signalling Systems of M tuberculosis
(2018-05-29)M. tuberculosis (Mtb) senses and responds to changes in its environment primar-ily through two-component signalling systems (TCSs). Each TCS contains a trans-membrane histidine kinase (HK ) protein and a cytoplasmic response ... -
Wood Fiber Filled Polyolefin Composites
(2009-05-19)The objective of the study is to improve the interfacial adhesion between the wood fibers and thermoplastic matrix. Efforts were also directed towards improving manufacturing processes so as to realize the full potential ...
