Author:Kiarii, EM; Govender, Krishna; Ndung'u, PG; Govender, PPDate:Aug 2017A first principles study of the Titania is done as used in photo-catalysis to generate charge carries. Models of titania, silica, graphene, epoxy graphene monoxide, single wall Carbon nanotubes and their respective layer were studied in order ...Read more
Author:Mkhonto, D; De Leeuw, NHDate:Jan 2008Computer modelling techniques were employed to investigate the effect of surface silanol groups on the strength of adhesion of apatite thin films to silica surfaces. To this end, the researchers have studied a series of silica surfaces with ...Read more
Author:Kiarii, EM; Govender, Krishna; Ndungu, PG; Govender, PPDate:Jul 2017Silica has been used as support material with many photocatalytic materials. In this study, silica polymorphs on graphene and epoxy graphene were studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT) to determine the interfacial and optical properties ...Read more
