RESEARCH INTEREST Dr Nabilah Ismail interest focusing on green chemistry and oxidation catalysis area. Her research focused
on developing novel approaches incorporating iron- tetraamido macrocyclic ligand ( FeTAML) families for
water purification (removing low level of pollutants such as endocrine disruptors, pesticides, herbicides etc).
The approach will involve creating a smart catalytic film that will oxidatively destroy organic pollutants as the
contaminated water by simply runs over its surface. The new process will be highly effective, inexpensive to
operate, and will not contaminate the water being purified with any added chemicals. All work involved strong
background of inorganic and polymer synthesis and characterization using various instruments including
Ocean optic UV-vis spectrophotometer, leica DMR and confocal laser microscopy, thin film applicator and high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
