Adsorptive Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solutions Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
Karami, Abdollah (2019-04)Synthetic dyes are commonly found in industrial wastewater due to their wide application as colorants in the textile, paper, food, leather and plastic industries. Among the various treatment methods, adsorption is generally ... -
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Ultrasound.
Ibrahim, Mihad (2016-05)Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Although billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research to develop its treatments, cancer still remains a major illness for mankind, partly due to the ... -
Development and performance analysis of substrates coated with metal-organic framework for gas sensing applications
Al Abdulla, Shamma Saqer Ibrahim (2023-04)This thesis investigates the potential use of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF-8) as a sensing material for CO2 detection. Three synthesis techniques namely room temperature, microwave-assisted, and ball milling were ... -
Development and Testing of a Novel MOF-based Composite for MEMS Sensing Applications
El Taher, Bassam Jihad (2020-11)Mercury is one of the most hazardous environmental pollutants due to its immediate health implications on humans. With the potential of pollution of water due to industrial activities, a need for assessment of mercury ... -
Functionalized Metal Organic Frameworks For Chemotherapy Drug Delivery
Ahmed, Ahmed H.S (2020-11)Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, and can be treated by various methods or sometimes a combination of different treatments. Chemotherapy is one of the conventional methods of treatment. Although it is effective ... -
Investigation and Mathematical Modeling of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Micelles
Alhariri, Youssef Ashraf (2020-05)Given the growing concern over the increasing number of people diagnosed with cancer and the high prevalence of unwanted side effects associated with chemotherapy on healthy tissues, this thesis aims to provide better, ... -
Light-Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) For Doxorubicin Controlled Release
Abdelwahab, Isra (2023-04)The life cycle of human cells involves growth, divisions, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, DNA damage can cause some cells to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. While chemotherapy is an effective ... -
Lipsome-coated metal organic frameworks as a new drug nanocarrier
Mohamed, Omnia A. (2019-12)Cancer has emerged to become one of the predominant diseases ever known to humanity, with chemotherapeutic agents as leading methods for treating it. However, this blind-sighted treatment method that targets all cells; ... -
Microwave Triggered Release of Doxorubicin from Metal-organic Frameworks
Fatima, Syeda Fiza (2022-11)Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidates for a variety of applications based on their remarkable properties such as high surface area and porosity. A substantial number of studies have been conducted to examine ... -
Selective Removal of Dual Dyes from Aqueous Solutions Using Metal Organic Framework (MIL-53(Al))
Al Sharabati, Miral Osama Yacoub (2019-11)Organic dyes released from many industries such as textile, leather, and paper industries can be a threat to the environment and living creatures. Adsorption stands out as one of the favorite dye removal methods among the ... -
Ultrasound triggered release of Trastuzumab-conjugated immunoliposomes targeting breast cancer
Ahmed, Amal Elsadig Elamir (2018-12)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in this era. Since conventional treatment has many side effects, its use is limited, which augments the need for new smart drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers, capable of ...
