Title: Implementing integrated catchment management in the Limpopo River Basin Phase 1: Situational assessment Authors: Mwenge Kahinda, J; Kapangaziwiri, E; Engelbrecht, FA; Meissner, R; Ashton, PJ Abstract: A situational assessment of De Beers’ mining operations within a water-stressed area, and close to an ecologically sensitive area, offers useful insights for the development of specific interventions in the areas surrounding their mining operations. This also holds implications for the specific mine’s sustainability. Description: 4th CSIR Biennial Conference: Real problems relevant solutions, CSIR, Pretoria, 9-10 October 2012

Title: Development of the tyre tester Authors: Kuduntwane, P; Du Plessis; Els, S Abstract: Improved mobility depends on simulating and analysing a vehicle’s performance. Therefore, accurate and efficient tyre models for off-road vehicles are needed. But to get that, we need a tyre tester for adjustable slip, camber and caster angles for improved tyre lateral data.

Title: Droplet-based microfluidic method for synthesis of microparticles Authors: Mbanjwa, MB; Windvoel, TV; Land, KJ Abstract: Droplet-based microfluidics has, in recent years, received increased attention as an important tool for performing numerous methods in modern day chemistry and biology, such as synthesis of hydrogel microparticles. The droplet-based microfluidic method discussed here offers a simple, flexible and robust method for generating emulsions of polymer solutions, which can be cross-linked to form hydrogels and other bio-microparticles.

Title: Development of thermoresponsive non-woven 3D scaffold for smart cell culture Authors: Mahlangu, T; Chetty, A; Maity, A; Rossouw, C Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop PP-g-PNIPAAm (gNWF) non-woven 3D scaffolds using an oxyfluorination-assisted graft polymerisation (OAGP) method. A further objective was to quantify the graft yield and to characterise the physical and chemical properties of the PP pure NWF (pNWF), oxyfluorinated NWF (oNWF), and the gNWF scaffolds. The gNWF was developed for non-invasive 3D cell culture. Description: 4th CSIR Biennial Conference: Real problems relevant solutions, CSIR, Pretoria, 9-10 October 2012
