Microheterogeneous solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membranes for electrocatalysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The deposition of platinum catalyst on cation-exchange membranes was achieved by
a counter diffusion deposition method known as the Takenaka- Torikai method. The
morphology of the platinum catalyst on ...
Supported zeolite A membranes. Feasibility of the static transverse synthesis : a new approach
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As there is inadequate control of the hydrothermal synthesis technique used to date in the
synthesis of zeolite A membranes, the feasibility of a new synthesis approach was investigated,
namely the ...
Propylene / 1-pentene random copolymers : preparation, characterisation and commercialisation
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Most polypropylene copolymers commercially available have ethylene, and to a
lesser degree t-butene as comonomers. Commercially available higher a-olefins,
mostly even-numbered, are seldom used for the ...
Groundwater chemistry and supplementary sources of freshwater in Arid environments : groundwater salinisation, solar desalination & fog collection
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Freshwater is the most fundamental of all life-supporting resources that determine our
social, economic and political wellbeing. It is, however, only a small percentage of
the world's water resources ...
Innovative spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques for the analysis of complex polyolefins prepared by metallocene catalysis

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study focused on the analysis of a variety o f synthesised tailored copolymers.
During the investigation o f the samples new and innovative analytical techniques
were developed to be able to identify ...
Film formation and thermal transitions of polymers studied by atomic force microscopy
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The kinetics of drying and film formation of different polymeric latices were studied.
Various theoretical models predict a strong dependency of the film formation
characteristics on the particle size ...
