Processing mediated polymorphism in PVDF-based dielectric polymers and their application
The ever-increasing demand in electronic devices, piezoelectric materials such as ceramics, polymers and polymer ceramic composites with enhanced piezoelectric and dielectric properties has become the focus of many ... -
Quality-quantity trade off during antibody production and the design of optimal passive immunization protocols
Passive immunization has been used classically to rapidly clear antigen and reduce disease burden. Surprisingly, recent studies have found passive immunization to induce lasting improvements in the humoral response, ... -
Rate Enhancement Of The Catalytic Hydrogenation Of An Unsaturated Ketone By Ultrasonic Irradiation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-25)The aim of the work was to develop an understanding of the phenomenon of rate enhancement observed when a heterogeneous catalytic reaction system is irradiated by ultrasound. The system under investigation was the catalytic ... -
Refractive-Index-Matched Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry for Investigation of Flow in Immersed Granular Materials
Refractive-Index-Matched Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry for Investigation of Flow in Immersed Granular Materials The ubiquity of granular materials and their importance in everyday life, industry, and nature make ... -
Rheology of Dense Granular Chute Flows
Granular flows have always fascinated researchers through its complex and mysterious behavior. Although a collection of solids, they exhibit properties like that of fluids. Flows over an inclined plane, known as chute flow, ... -
Rheology of dense granular materials
Granular materials are frequently encountered in our daily lives and are widely used in several industrial processes. Characterising the flow of these materials has always proved challenging due to the lack of simple ... -
Rheology of dense non-Brownian suspensions
Suspensions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, ranging from magma, blood, and mud to cement, paint, and molten chocolate. Despite the Newtonian nature of the suspending fluid and the expectation of linearity in the ... -

Stochastic Models Suggest Guidelines for Protocols with Novel HIV-1 Interventions
(2018-05-25)The treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection faces the challenge of drug resistance. The high mutation rate of HIV-1 allows it to develop resistance against all available drugs. New mechanisms of ... -
Structural Characteristics Of Randomly Packed Beds Of Spheres
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries to cany out a large number of diverse processes. The main objective of the present work is to develop models to predict the arrangement of particles ... -
Structure and Dynamics of Fluids Under Nanoscale Confinement
Fluid molecules confined between solid surfaces separated by a few nanometers are of considerable interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology as they undergo structural and dynamical transitions absent in their corresponding ... -
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 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 a New Spinning Disc-Spinning Bowl Contactor/Mixer
Increased focus on continuous synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has led to resurgence of process intensification. In this thesis we introduce a new continuous contactor. It works on the principle of impinging ...
