A photochemical investigation of two suncreen absorbers in a polar and a non-polar medium.
(2002)Protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation is of increasing importance due to the depletion of stratospheric ozone, which shields the earth from harmful UVC rays (in the range 200-280 nm) and some UVB ... -
Physical and chemical properties of carbon nanotubes and silica nano-composites on the photo-catalytic activity of titania nanoparticles for selected organic pollutants.
(2014)High surface area materials were synthesized in order to support titanium dioxide (TiO2) photo-catalysts with the aim of enhancing the overall photo-catalytic properties of the catalyst. Mesoporous silica dioxide (SBA-15), ... -
Physico-chemical analysis of transformer oil and stability studies of their blends with synthetic and natural antioxidants.
(2012)This study is focused on the analysis of transformer oil commonly used in South African transformers and the characterisation of the blends of these oils with either synthetic antioxidants or those extracted from natural ... -
The physicochemical properties of carbon nanotube-titania nanocomposite for light harvesting.
(2014)Nanocomposites for dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) were synthesised from ultrasonic acid-treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titania precursors by means of sol-gel and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) ... -
Phytochemical and anti-drepanocytosis studies of Cajanus cajan, Callistemon viminalis, Melaleuca bracteata var. Revolution Gold and Syzygium guineense.
(2010)All over Africa, traditional healers use medicinal plants to prepare medicines to treat a wide range of illnesses. One of these illnesses is sickle cell anaemia or drepanocytosis or sicklemia. This disease is particularly ... -
Phytochemical and elemental analysis of Cyrtanthus obliquus and Lippia javanica.
(2012)A growing number of South Africans are relying more and more on alternative medicine for their healthcare needs due to the high cost of commercially available medicines and lack of medical aid. To these people, traditional ... -
Phytochemical and elemental studies of two indigenous medicinal plants of South Africa, Bridelia micrantha and Sideroxylon inerme.
(2014)Bridelia micrantha (Euphorbaceae) and Sideroxylon inerme (Sapoacaea) are two indigenous medicinal plants found in KwaZulu-Natal and are both known as ‘uMhlalamagwababa’ in isiZulu. These two plants species have similar ... -
A phytochemical investigation of Acridocarpus Natalitius and Typha Capensis.
