For the second part of the study simple strategies for colorimetric sensing based on silver nanoparticles and polivinylpyrrolidone capped nanoparticles were developed, respectively for atrazine and chlorpyrifos detection. The limits of detection of the methods were 3.32 and 0.88 mg/L for atrazine and chlorpyrifos respectively. The applicability of the probe in real samples was demonstrated by the recoveries studies of tap water varying from 94 to 104 percent. The versatility of the probe was demonstrated by affording a simple, rapid and selective detection of atrazine and chlorpyrifos in the presence of other pesticides by direct analysis without employing any sample handling steps. Attempt to incorporate the probes in a solid support was achieved by using nylon 6 as solid support polymer proving to be fast and useful for on-site detection.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 17:40:49 SAST ]]> Characterization and application of phthalocyanine-gold nanoparticle conjugates https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4293 Wed 12 May 2021 17:24:17 SAST ]]> Photocatalysis of 4-chloro and 4-nonylphenols using novel symmetric phthalocyanines and asymmetric porphyrin supported on polyacrylonitrite nanofibres https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:41163 Wed 12 May 2021 13:49:36 SAST ]]> Nanofiber immobilized cellulases and hemicellulases for fruit waste beneficiation https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4153 Thu 13 May 2021 07:14:07 SAST ]]> Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy activities of porphyrin- and phthalocyanine-platinum nanoparticle conjugates https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4539 Thu 13 May 2021 04:42:43 SAST ]]> Photocatalytic activity and antibacterial properties of Ag/N-doped TiO2 nanoparticles on PVAE-CS nanofibre support https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11337 Thu 13 May 2021 03:26:16 SAST ]]>
