One-step White Blood Cell Separation from Whole Blood

Park J.M., Kim B.C., Lee J-G, Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), KR

Isolation of White Blood Cells (also called “WBC”) from whole blood is a first very important step for many in vitro assays. One currently accepted technique for WBC separation, referred to as the conventional manual [...]

Effects of the Shape of Nanoparticles on the Crystallization Behavior of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Nanocomposites in the Flow Fields

Kim B.C., Jang K.H., Hahm W.G., Kikutani T., Lee J., Hanyang University, KR

This paper investigated the effects of the shape of nanoparticles on the crystallization behavior of high molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET ; inherent viscosity of 0.98 g/dl) in the shear and elongational flow fields. Two [...]

Effects of interface on the physical properties of nanoparticle-filled composites

Jang K.H., Kim B.C., Hanyang University, KR

The effects of interface affinity on the rheological responses of nanoparticle suspended polymer solutions were investigated. The polarity on rheological properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle filled-polymer solution was investigated for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polystyrene [...]

Efects of silver nanoparticle on the physical properties of syndiotactic polypropylene

Kang E.C., Kim B.C., Hanyang University, KR

The effects of silver nanoparticle on the physical properties of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) were investigated in terms of rheological responses and crystallization behavior under shear. Silver nanoparticle played as the nucleating agent of sPP by [...]

Physical Properties of Ferrite Nanocomposites Based On Nylon-66

Kim B.C., Kim M.H., Kim B.C., Kim M.H., Hanyang University, KR

The ferrite nanoparticles acted as a nucleating agent, leading to a small degree of supercooling. However, above a critical loading level (1 wt %), the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix might restrict the chain mobility [...]
