Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor based on nanocellulose-carbon nanoparticles (NC-CNPs) nanocomposite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is developed for the analysis of metoclopramide (MCP). Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the roughness, surface morphology and performance of the deposited modifier film on GCE. SEM image demonstrated that modifier nanoparticles are uniformly deposited on GCE, with an average size of less than 50nm. The electrochemical behavior of MCP and its oxidation product is studied using linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry over a wide pH range on NC-CNPs modified glassy...

Abstract
A composite surface coating is prepared by electropolymerization of a mixture of pyrrole and carbon nanoparticles onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The microscopic structure and morphology of the composite film is characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The modified electrode offers a considerable improvement in voltammetric sensitivity toward methyldopa (m-dopa), compared to the bare and polypyrrole-coated GCEs. A significantly enhanced anodic peak current together with a remarkable increase in sharpness of the cyclic voltammetric (CV) signals are observed for the detection of m-dopa. The effect of experimental parameters, such as scan rate and pH, are investigated by monitoring...

Abstract
This work describes the development of a novel electrochemical sensor based on electrodeposition of copper oxide nanoparticles onto carbon nanoparticle (CNP) film modified electrode for the analysis of the anti-HIV drug, nevirapine (NEV). The electrochemical experiments were performed using linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry. Atomic force microscopy was applied for surface characterization of the deposited modifier film (CuO-CNP) on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). No oxidation peak was observed for NEV on the bare GCE, but both CNP-GCE and CuO-CNP-GCE showed a distinctive anodic response towards NEV with considerable enhancement (276-fold and 350-fold, respectively) compared to CuO-GCE. The...

Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam is studied at the surface of a plain pyrolytic graphite electrode modified with chitosan-doped carbon nanoparticles. An electroactive surface was produced by drop-casting a suspension of the modifier and characterized by atomic force microscopy. A remarkable enhancement is found in studies on the cyclic voltammetric response towards piroxicam. This is described on the basis of the thin-layer mass transport regimes within the porous films, which leads to a considerable increase in the active surface area of the electrode. The electrode shows a linear response to piroxicam in the range of 0.05-50 μM, with a detection limit of...

Controlling Amyloid Formation Using Novel Carbon Based Nanoparticles
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kalhor, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Proteins carry out most important roles in the organisms and they have a number of functions including structural, catalytically, regulatory and transportal, However for protein to have functional role they must be able to possess tridimensional structure. Several proteins due to various genetic and physico-chemical conditions have shown to alter their tridimensional structure leading to insoluble fibrilar structure. One of the properties of these insoluble fibrils is conformational change, converting to β-sheet rich structures; the entire process of converting soluble to proteins insoluble fibrils known as amyloid formation. The proteins amyloidosis have been seen as causative role in a...
Extending a Hybrid Finite-volume-element Method for Numerical Analysis of Reacting Flows and the Study of Soot Nanoparticles Formation and Growth
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Darbandi, Masoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
There are some parameters, which can affect the performance of a combustor less and more, e.g., fuel-oxidant mixing process, turbulence generation, combustion process, and so on. A stoichiometric reaction as a unique reaction, in which all the reactants are consumed to form the stable products, can be categorized as the most economic reaction. The majority of industrial combustion apparatus consumes hydrocarbon fuels and departs from ideal combustion conditions, which expects products like CO2 and H2O. Combustion by-products reduce the combustion efficiency and cause environmental damages and human health problems. To resolve the human health problems and environmental hazardous issues, the...

Abstract
In recent years, adjustable optical properties, simple and inexpensive synthesis, and excellent biocompatibility of carbon dots have attracted much attention. However, the widespread use of carbon dots in biomedical diagnostics, photoluminescence, and photocatalysis has been limited due to a lack of emission or excitation in the red or near-infrared region. Studies have shown that doping in carbon dots can affect the displacement and increase the light intensity. This study aims to use the engineering methods of optical properties of carbon points by doping heteroatoms and adjusting the surface state to synthesize biocompatible carbon dots with luminescence at long wavelengths with strong...

The new generation of electronic devices including 5G internet, wearable electronics, LED optoelectronics or cloud computing devices have higher power density as their computing power increases and their sizes reduce. The increase in power density leads to higher heat generation and consequently higher operating temperature which reduces their lifetime and reliability. In recent years development of novel solutions for electronic cooling has been persued. Thermal interface material that inserted between heat source and heat sink is the main component in electronic cooling. These materials consists of a polymeric base that filled with highly thermally conductive solid particles. By emergence...

Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation behavior of the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam was investigated. A carbon nanoparticle (CNP)-chitosan (CS) film-coated graphite electrode (PGE) was fabricated and the electrochemical behaviors of piroxicam on its surface was investigated by the means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In comparison to the bare PGE, at the surface of the CNP-CS film modified electrode, the oxidation peak current of piroxicam increased significantly and the peak potential shifted negatively. Consequently, a simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of piroxicam. The...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Molaei, Asghar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to their highly efficient micromixing rates, confined impinging jet reactors can be beneficial in treating mixing-sensitive processes such as precipitations or crystallizations at high supersaturation. Successful scale-up of these reactors requires a decent insight of geometric design and operating conditions of these systems. This paper deals with the reactive crystallization of calcium carbonate nano-particles in two-impinging jets reactors. The influence of jet velocity (Jet Re number), nozzle diameter, and chamber ratio on the PSD and mean particle size of the product are investigated. In addition, the effect of supersaturation ratio, ion ratio and quenching ratio on the nucleation,...
