Design & Fabrication of Bio-responsive Drug Carriers Based on Protamine & Chondroitin Sulphate Biopolymers
(2017-10-26)The present thesis focuses on the fabrication of bio-stimuli responsive micro- and nano-carriers for drug delivery applications. In particular, the objective of this work is to investigate the possibility of using polypeptide ... -
Effect of Li Addition on the Plasticity of AZ31 Mg-Alloy
(2017-11-14)Mg-alloys, despite being the lightest structural metallic materials, find limited applications due to their poor workability, which is due to the hcp structure that does not provide sufficient number of independent slip ... -
Evolution of Microstructure and Texture during Severe Plastic Deformation of a Magnesium-Cerium Alloy
(2018-01-03)Magnesium alloys have poor formability at room temperature, due to a limited number of slip systems owing to the hexagonal closed packed structure of magnesium. One possibility to increase the formability of magnesium ... -
First-Principles Studies of Point Defects and Phase Transformations in Materials
(2018-01-18)The functional and mechanical properties of a material are often determined by the defects in them. A thorough understanding of the relationship between the defects and the properties allows for tailoring a material’s ... -
Fracture and Deformation in Bulk Metallic Glasses and Composites
(2018-01-11)Plastic flow in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) localizes into narrow bands, which, in the absence of a microstructure that could obstruct them, propagate unhindered under tensile loading. In constrained deformation conditions ... -
Length Scale Effects in Deformation of Polycrystalline Nickel
(2017-09-20)The demand for compact, efficient and high performance electronic devices and sensor systems has become one of the primary driving force for rapid advancement in miniaturization of current technology. However, the attempt ... -
Microstructural, Mechanical and Oxidation Behavior of Ni-Al-Zr Ternary Alloys
(2018-01-09)The thesis introduces a novel alloy system based on submicron distributions of intermetallic phases realised through eutectic solidification in the ternary system Ni-Al-Zr. Various compositions in this system comprising ... -
Some Mechanical Properties of Ti-6Al-4V-B Alloys
(2017-09-27)The alloys of Ti are extensively used in a number of industries with the α+β alloy Ti-6Al-4V (referred to as Ti64 hereafter) being the most popular. Recently, it was demonstrated that the addition of a small amount of B ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Functionalized Electroactive Polymers for Metal Ion Sensing
(2018-02-06)Metal ion contamination in surface and ground water is a major threat as it has a direct implication on the health of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Lead (Pb2+), mercury (Hg2+), cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+), ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Intermetallic Coatings by Laser Cladding and Novel Ball Milling Approach
The aim of the present work is to engineer a new kind of coating material with superior quality and reliability in a cost effective way by laser cladding and ball milling process. Non equilibrium processing methods were ... -
Therapeutic Applications of Biodegradable Chitosan Based Polyelectrolyte Nanocapsules
(2018-01-18)The past few years have witnessed significant work being directed towards drug delivery systems with layer-by layer (LbL) technique prominently featured as one of the most sought after approach. However, majority of the ...
