Different approaches for enhancing dielectric response of polymer and ceramic materials
Dielectric materials are essential components of electronic devices and electric power systems. Consequently, the design and development of new materials with enhanced dielectric response remain of great importance. This dissertation examines three different approaches to enhancing the dielectric response: (i) percolative composites, (ii) polymer blending, and (iii) the induction of …
Nanoengineering for enhanced toxic metals adsorption: Nanoengineering for Enhanced Toxic Metals Adsorption: From Synthesis to Biorecognition
Environmental contamination by toxic metals—such as Pb²⁺, Cr³⁺, and Hg²⁺—and organometallic species like monomethylmercury (MeHg) presents one of the most persistent global challenges due to their bioaccumulation, long-term toxicity, and resistance to degradation. This thesis addresses this critical issue through a multidisciplinary approach combining nanotechnology, environmental chemistry, biosensor engineering, and …
Low-pressure gaseous plasma for inactivation of viruses in water
Water scarcity is becoming a greater issue worldwide due to ever-increasing anthropogenic activity.
