Injectable Glucan/Alginate/poly(γ-glutamic acid) Gel for Bone Formation and Differentiation

Lai W.-F.T., Yang M.-C., Su T.-L., Kuo Y.-L., Kung F.-C., Kainan University, TW

Aqueous mixture of β-glucan, alginate and calcium form poly(γ-glutamic acid)(Ca-PGA) was compared with the traditional hydrogels cross-linking with calcium chloride and sodium form γ-PGA (Na-PGA). The suitable proportion by investigating the characters of swellability, pH [...]

Multi-functional micelles for the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma

Shih Y-H, Peng C.L., Luo T-Y, Shieh M.J., National Taiwan University, TW

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in worldwide. In this study, multi-functional micelles loaded with doxorubicin (Dox) and labeled with the radionuclide rhenium-188 (188Re) were developed to provide the combination of [...]

Preparation of size-controllable (Cu-ZnO)@C core- and yolk-shell nanoparticles

Hong C.-I., Kang H.Y., Chang F-C, Wang H.P., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Size-controllable Cu-ZnO@C core-shell nanoparticles having diameters of 7-20 nm were prepared by carbonization of Cu2+- and Zn2+-CD (Cu-to-Zn ratio=0.1-1) at 343-573 K for 2 hrs. By XRD, the major compounds in the Cu-ZnO@C core-shell nanoparticles [...]

Fabricating CNT/ PEDOT:PSS Composite on Flexible Substrate Using Transfer Printing

Wu W-T, Tsai H.T., Hsu C-M, Southern Taiwan University of Science and technology, TW

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to fabricate CNT/ PEDOT:PSS composite with transfer printing, in which the highly oriented CNT could be obtained. The preparation of CNT/ PEDOT:PSS composite started with the synthesis [...]

Field Emission Emitters Fabricated Using Carbon Nanotube Blasting

Hsu C-M, Wu J-S, Wu K.-C., Wu W-T, Liu T-S, Wu J-S, Wu K.-C., Wu W-T, Wu J-S, Wu K.-C., Wu W-T, Chen J-A, Southern Taiwan University of Science and technology, TW

This work proposed a novel approach, named CNT-blasting, aiming to fabricate cost effective CNT-field-emission anodes with high emission performances. This approach implants CNTs directly onto a screen printed silver paste by traditional sand blasting method, [...]

Narrow Fin Width Effect of HKMG Bulk FinFET Devices

Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Li Y., Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Hsu S.-C., Huang W.-T., Yang C.-M., Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Chu S.-Y., National Chiao Tung University, TW

In this study, we for the first time explore the dependence of the silicon fin width on electrostatic characteristic of HKMG bulk FinFET devices. On the same layout area, our study indicates that the narrow [...]

Analysis the optimal damper angle for a furnace to reduce the energy cost and CO2 emission

Jou C.-J.G., Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, TW

Optimal values for conducting a full-scale plant operation are usually obtained based on experience without the support of theoretical quantitative analyses. In this research, the Grey Relational Analysis method is implemented to develop a model [...]

Metal-doped Photocatalysts to Reduce Carbon Dioxide in Ethanolamine Solution for Methane Production

Wu H-Y, Wu J.C.S., Bai H., Wu H-Y, Wu J.C.S., National Chiao Tung University, TW

Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to form valuable energy source of methane in the ethanolamine (MEA) solution is investigated in this study. The TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by doping with nano-sized metals (Fe, Zn, [...]
