ROS Evaluation for Series of CNTs Using the ESR Method and the Effects of CNT Mophology

Tsuruoka S., Takeuchi K., Koyama K., Endo M., Fujisawa K., Matsumoto H., Saito N., Usui Y., Porter D.W., Castranova V., Shinshu University, JP

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are becoming important materials in industry. It is a concern that CNTs may induce carcinogenic responses through pulmonary exposure. It has been recently reported1-6 that CNTs scavenge ROS depending on their morphology. [...]

Hybrid Poly(L-Lactide) (PLA) Nanofibers Incorporating POSS-Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Electrospinning

Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Jeong I., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K-O, Kim Y-A, Shinshu University, JP

Organic–inorganic hybrid composites have attracted considerable attention because of their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Specifically, the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-polymer composites among them has expected when uniform dispersion of the MWNTs in the polymer [...]

Mechanical Properties of Metallized Single Nanofibers

Kim B.S., Kim H-R., Kim H-Y, Kim I.S., Kimura N., Kimura N., Bang H-S., Kim B.S., Kim H-R., Kim H-Y, Kim I.S., Kimura N., Watanabe Y., Kim B.S., Kim H-R., Kim H-Y, Kim I.S., Kimura N., Enomoto Y., Kim B.S., Kim H-R., Kim H-Y, Kim I.S., Kimura N., Shinshu University, JP

Our final goal is to make the metal nanofibers having good properties of metal and explore the mechanical properties of metalized single nanofibers. We are expecting that they would be strong like general metals. In [...]

Development of Melt Blown Electrospinning Apparatus of Isotactic Polyproylene

Watanabe K., Lee K.H., Lee Y.J., Nakamura T., Lee K.H., Lee Y.J., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Shinshu University, JP

Melt blown electrospinning is a method of combining melt blown with melt electrospinning. In this study, we developed the multi nozzle melt blown electrospinning machine. The significant point of this method is to use air [...]
