Facile Preparation of Graphene Composite Materials and Their Application

Nishina Y., Okayama University, JP

We have successfully achieved the new preparation technique of graphene oxide from graphite with “Rapid Hummers method”. The graphene oxide was functionalized by selective reduction of C-O bonds and by making composites with metal nanoparticles, [...]

Hydrophobic silicone elastomer chamber for recording trajectories of motile sperms without adsorption

Matsuura K., Funahashi H., Okayama University, JP

Sperm motility analysis is a representative method for evaluation of male fertility, since motility correlates with viability. The conventional method, commonly referred to as Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA), to records motility and linear velocity (LV) [...]

Electrochemical activities of hybrid nanocomposite membrane

Thanganathan U., Okayama University, JP

Organic-inorganic hybrid proton-conducting materials are expected to be the next generation, of high-performance membranes in a variety of fields as they have both the functionality of organic compounds and the stability of inorganic substances. The [...]
