(University of Nairobi, 2010-06)
To understand better the pollution levels in the waters of the Nakivubo Channel and Lake Victoria, the concentrations of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were determined using ...
Electrical Percolation Behavior in Silver Nanowire–Polystyrene Composites: Simulation and Experiment
(2010)
The design and preparation of isotropic silver nanowire-polystyrene composites is described, in which the nanowires have finite L/D (< 35) and narrow L/D distribution. These model composites allow the L/D dependence of the ...
