Imine-donor complexes with group 6 and group 11 transition metals : coordination and dynamics
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-12)
In this study the coordination of ligands with several coordination sites, 2-aminoazoles (2-
amino-4-methylthiazole), 2-aminobenzothiazole, 2-aminobenzoimidazole and 2-
aminothiazoline and a biguanidine (N-(2-methylphe ...
Selective distal functionalization of resorcinarenes via an ortholithiation approach
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Resorcinarenes are tetramers, belonging to a class of [1]4metacyclophanes, easily formed by the acid- or base-catalysed condensation of resorcinol and aldehydes. Properties include, amongst others; bowl-like ...
Click chemistry for the preparation of advanced macromolecular architectures
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Different click chemistry methods have been used together with Reversible Addition-
Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) mediated polymerization to synthesize macromolecular
architectures.
A new leaving ...
Synthesis and characterization of two novel urethane macromonomers and their methacrylic/urethane graft copolymers
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Polymethacrylates are well known adhesives and can carry specific functionality, but have
the disadvantage that their flexible backbones impart limited thermal stability and mechanical
strength. ...
Development of permanently antimicrobial coatings
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Water-borne coatings often contain multiple additives including pigments, dispersing agents,
rheology modifiers, UV stabilizers and biocides. Due to their low molar mass and endocrinedisrupting
properties, ...

Development of a novel LC-MS/MS method for the detection of adulteration of South African sauvignon blanc wines with 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazines
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2008-03)
A method for the detection of adulteration of South African Sauvignon blanc
wines, by enrichment with foreign sources of 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazenes, is
described. The levels of three 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazenes (3-isobutyl-, ...
Electrolytes for redox flow battery systems
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
Electrochemical behaviour of Ce, Fe, Cr,V and Mn in the presence of DTPA, EDTA, EDDS,
NTA ligands were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, a rotating disc electrode and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for ...
The influence of processing on properties of injection-moulded and lomolded components
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-03)
Rectangular components were produced by both standard injection moulding and by a
process called Lomolding. Both moulding grade polypropylene homopolymer and
glass-filled polypropylene were used. The effect of processing ...
New developments in the coordination chemistry of Gold(I), Gold(II) and Gold(III) with C-, N- , P-and S-donor ligands
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2007-03)
A comprehensive, comparative structural study of gold(I), gold(II) and gold(III)
compounds with the general formula [Aux(C6F5)y(tht)z] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) was
performed. The series of compounds included the ...
