Fabrication and Characterization of Bioactive PLGA- TiO2 Nanocomposite Scaffold by Air-liquid Foaming for Bone Tissue Engineering
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Madaah Hosseini, Hamid Reza (Supervisor) ; Samadi Kuchaksaraei, Ali (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Poly (lactate-co-glycolate) is a typical biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer. Addition of TiO2 nanoparticles improved compressive modulus of PLGA scaffolds and reduced fast degradation. Porous 3D scaffolds, which are synthesized using biocompatible and biodegradable materials, could provide suitable microenvironment and mechanical support for optimal cell growth and function. A novel method has been applied to fabricate PLGA/TiO2 scaffolds without using any organic solvent or porogen for nucleation compared to former ways, with aim of improving the biocompatibility, macroscale morphology and well inter-connected pores efficacy: Air-Liquid Foaming. Adjustment of the foaming...

Abstract
Ruthenium based-oxide coatings on Titanium anodes are widely used as DSA (Dimensionally Stable Anode) for chlorine and chlorate production. Coatings consisting of composition of highly conductive oxide of noble metals (Ru, Ir and Pt) make them as long lasting anodes in chlor-alkali technology.In this work, a newly anode by a ternary coating of IrO2, RuO2, and TiO2 on the Pt-coated Ti was developed through thermal decomposition of iridium and titanium and ruthenium inorganic salts dissolved in n-pentane. The effect of deposition parameters such as current density, time, different condition of baking, heating, mole ratio and pulling up the samples was investigated to find out reasonable...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
A new strategy for enhancing the efficiency of TiO2 dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) doped with Ni ions with different molar percentages (i.e., 0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mol%) was reported. The samples were prepared by sol-gel route and characterized by means of XRD, DRS, UV-visible, FESEM and photovoltaic measurment techniques. It was found that Ni-doped TiO2 nanoparticles had a mixture of anatase, rutile and brookite crystal structures. Moreover, the band gap energy was decreased with increasing Ni molar ratio, The highest cell efficiency of 5.4% was achieved for 1mol% Ni-doped TiO2, being 42% greater than that of pure TiO2 nanoparticles

Preparation of Mg-doped TiO2 Nanoparticles for Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Applications
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCS) is the third-generation of solar cells based on semiconductors formed between a photo sensitized anode and counter cathode which make a photo electrochemical system. They haven’t been commercially marketed due to their lower efficiency than the previous generations. In order to achieve the higher efficiency, the electron injection and light absorption must be increased. One way to increase electron injection is doping the semiconductor with an external ion to reduce lattice band gap. In this work, we made powder and Nano-structured film of titanium dioxide doped with various molar ratios of Mg by the sol-gel process. The effect of Mg:Ti molar ratio on...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorbani, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and characterization of high porous Ti based on thin films and the effect of polymer agents on their photocatalytic properties. Ti films can demonstrate different properties like self -cleaning and treatment of broad range of aqueous pollutants when it is exposed to light of wavelength less than 400 nm. This is due to photocatalytic reaction occurring on film surface which results in film superhydrophilicity and the active oxygen species production. This active sites and radicals will cause oxidize organic pollutants and microbe adherent to the material surface.

Abstract
Memristor is a modern circuit element that demonstrates resistance memory function and can have important applications in emerging memories and artificial synapses. Binary oxides and perovskite oxides are two major classes of materials that are promising for memory resistances. Among the binary oxides, TiO2, and among the perovskite oxides, SrTiO3 (STO), are particularly promising in research on electrical resistance switching. In this thesis, by using two deposition techniques of sputtering and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), we have constructed single-layer and multi-layer memristor devices based on these two materials. Two general mechanisms control the behavior of memristors: bulk-control...

Abstract
Active packaging is a novel approach that can ensure food safety by removing undesirable compounds such as Oxygen, ethylene, moisture, and microbial contamination from fresh produce's environment and reducing product loss by extending shelf life. Current research on active food packaging materials focuses on using biopolymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids as alternatives to non-degradable petroleum-based packaging materials. Active nanomaterials are commonly used to impart functionality to packaging materials. However, the lack of functionality limits their industrial application.Therefore, the main objective of this work was to fabricate bioactive nanocomposite films by...

, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Taghavinia , Nima (Supervisor) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Luminescence down shifting (LDS) of the incident spectrum is a practical strategy that helps to increase the light harvesting efficiency by manipulating the incident spectrum instead of interfering with the active material inside the cell. In this research, for a dye-sensitized solar cell with a near-infrared sensitizer, the photovoltaic performance was enhanced remarkably with a reflective luminescent down-shifting (R-LDS) layer. Different inorganic phosphors with different luminescent quantum efficiencies have been used as the down shifting materials to increase the light-harvesting efficiency of DSSCs sensitized with TT1 and SQ1 dyes. Four different structures were examined to find the...
