    Govender, M; Thirukkanesh, S. (International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2009)
    We present the general junction conditions for the smooth matching of a spherically symmetric, shear-free spacetime to Vaidya’s outgoing metric across a four-dimensional time-like hypersurface in the presence of a cosmological ...

    Dahiya, J. B.; Kandola, B.; Sitpalan, A; Horrocks., A. R. (Journal of Polymer Advance Technology, 2013)
    This paper extends the work of Lewin et al., which showed that high levels of flame retardancy could be conferred on polyamide 6 (PA6) in the presence of small concentrations of ammonium sulphamate (AS) and dipentaerythritol ...

    Thirukkanesh, S.; Moopanar, S.; Govender, M (journal of Physics, 2012)
    We investigate the role played by the cosmological constant during gravitational collapse of a radiating star with vanishing Weyl stresses in the interior. We highlight the role played by the cosmological constant during ...

    Horrocks, A. R.; Sitpalan, A.; Zhou, C.; Kandola, B. (Polymers, 2016)
    This work shows that halogen-free, flame retarded polyamide 6 (PA6), fabrics may be produced in which component fibres still have acceptable tensile properties and low levels (preferably ď10 wt %) of additives by ...
