Liquid core nanocapsules synthesized using flash nanoprecipitation

Van Keuren E., Taylor S., Chung Y., Chen L., Ugwu-Uche U., Aparicio V.A., Meehan R., Hughes E., Georgetown University, US

The synthesis and application of multicomponent and/or multifunctional nanoparticles is an area that has seen significant growth over the past decade. Nanocapsules, nanoparticles with a liquid core and hard shell, are one example. They have [...]

Mass Production and Application of Electrospun Polyimide Porous Membranes for Li-Ion Battery

Wang X., Chen L., Hou H., Jiangxi Normal University, CN

To date, the electrospun nanofiber nonwovens or self-supporting electrospun porous membranes have, however, not been produced in a large scale. In this presentation, we introduce a way to the mass production of electrospun polyimide porous [...]

Analytic Channel Potential Solution of Symmetric DG AMOSFETs

Chen L., Xu Y., Zhang L., Zhou W., Zhou X., Zhou W., Zhou X., He J., Peking University, CN

This paper presents an analytic channel potential solution of the symmetrical DG AMOSFETs. The proposed solution is derived from complete 1-D Poisson-Boltzmann equation by taking three components of net charge density (fixed charge, holes and [...]

Super-hydrophobic and/or Super-hydrophilic Surfaces Made by Plasma Process

Chen L., Henein G., Liddle J.A., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces are generally made by modifying the surface with chemistry and introducing roughness or patterns on surfaces. The processes are generally complex and time-consuming. In this paper, we introduce a simple and [...]

Adhesion and Differentiation of Neuronal Cell on Photoresist Derived Carbon Substrates

Pampuro R., Chen L., Zou T., Zhou H., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

Cellular response to substrate topography and chemistry is a crucial aspect in guided neurite growth for application in neuroregenerative medicine. Experiments investigating cell culture on nanopatterned surfaces have elucidated the nuances of cell-substrate interaction. Among [...]

Engineering hybrid nanostructures with phage particles

Makowski L., Chen L., Argonne National Laboratory, US

Assembling complex structures comprising multiple, inorganic functional elements represents a significant engineering challenge. We have constructed hybrid nanostructures based on T7 and M13 phage and incorporating a variety of metals and metal oxides. Synthesis of [...]

Silicon Carbide Micro/Nano Systems for Harsh Environment and Demanding Applications

Mehregany M., Fu X-A, Chen L., Case Western Reserve Univesity, US

Micro/nano systems enable the development of smart products and systems by augmenting the computational ability of microelectronics with the perception and control capabilities of sensors and actuators. Micro/nano systems are also known as micro- and [...]
