Design and development of remote Raman spectroscopy system for detection of hazardous compounds
(2012-11)
Remote Raman detection has become a powerful analytical technique for detection of hazardous compounds in situ and without sample preparation at distances away from the observation site. This study describes the design, ...
Thermal inkjet technology for the deposition of nanoparticles and Metal-organic framework (Mof): Preparation of sers-active substrates and Mof films for In-situ enhanced raman and infrared detection of harmful contaminants
(2012-12)
The applications of thermal ink-jet printing technology as deposition technique of functional materials such as metal nanoparticles and microporous nickel-oxalate metal organic framework were studied. Highly sensitive ...
Laser-Induced growth of nanoparticles and nanostructures
(2011)
The preparation of nanostructures assisted by laser action was studied and successfully accomplished from solution and on surfaces. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized by several microscopy techniques. Silver, ...
Synthesis of nanoparticles of iron oxide, silver and gold for photodegradation and detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene
(2013)
Various nano-structured materials were synthesized to be used in the purification and detection of contaminants in water. Iron oxides and extruded polystyrene/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized, characterized and evaluated ...
Synthesis, formation mechanism and characterization of peroxide homemade explosives
(2013)
An important consideration in the area of homemade explosives, which are made from household products, is that it is difficult to control their production and use in terrorist activities. Therefore, security and defense ...
Remote infrared spectroscopy detection of highly energetic materials
(2015-12)
An Open-Path Standoff Detection System was designed using a telescope coupled to a EM27 Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer equipped with a mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) cryocooled detector. Samples of highly energetic ...

(2012-05)
The development of rapid and efficient techniques for biological detection, identification and classification has a positive impact in fields ranging medical, environmental and industrial microbiology to biological warfare ...
Functionalization of titanium surfaces with lysine, aspartic acid, vitamins C and D3: a micro raman study of intermolecular interactions
(2019-05-14)
Titanium (Ti) has been used since 1964 in manufacturing of Ti implants because of its optimal mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Nevertheless, this biomaterial can have failures due to poor osseointegration ...
Vibrational spectroscopy studies of biomolecular systems: from amino acids to microorganisms
(2014)
Vibrational spectroscopy: infrared and Raman, was applied to the study of two amino acids and ten bacterial strains with the purpose of developing rapid methods of identification and discrimination. Use of spectroscopic ...
Low temperature aqueous synthesis of Zno nanorods and coating of Au On ZNO for enhanced Raman spectroscopy studies
(2013)
This thesis reports results on the growth-controlled synthesis of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) in aqueous phase has been investigated. ZnO NRs were grown on ZnO films previously deposited onto Si (100) and indium tin oxide ...
