Curvature Change Analysis of SMART Fibers used for Temperature Adaptive Insulation

Latulippe A., Ripa C., Sun H., Fossey S., Drew C., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

A thermally adaptive insulation has previously been developed by the US Army. The insulation is designed to expand at lower temperatures and shrink at higher temperatures. This is accomplished using multi-component polymer fibers that are [...]

Functional Polylactide-based Systems for Delivery of Cancer Therapeutics

Cheng C., Sun H., Yu Y., Chen C-K, Cheng C., Zou J., University at Buffalo, the State University of New York, US

As an important class of biodegradable polymers, polylactides (PLAs) have been approved by FDA for clinical applications. However, conventional PLAs are lack of functionalities, and this significantly limits their applications. Therefore, in recent years we [...]

A Review of the Center for Fluorinated Functional Materials

Sun H., University of South Dakota, US

Center for Fluorinated Functional Materials was established in July 2017 with a significant effort from the State of South Dakota. The mission of this center is to build a self-sustained discovery-based research center that boosts [...]

Gaseous Flows and Heat Transfer through Micro- and Nano-channels

Sun H., Wang P., Liu S., Song M., Faghri M., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

The overall object of this paper is a systematic study of gaseous flows and thermal transport in two-dimensional micro- and nano-channels using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The flows are often encountered in MEMS, [...]

Adsorption/Desorption of Cd by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and Sediment Particles as well as Their Facilitated Bioaccumulation of Cd into Carp

Zhang X., Chen Y., Sun H., Crittenden J.C., Arizona State University, US

There are increasing concerns about the health and environmental impact of nanomaterials. The study of Sun et. al 2006 provided the evidence of facilitated bioaccumulation of As(V) in carp in the presence of titanium dioxide [...]

Computational Challenges in Nanoscale Device Modeling

Polizzi E., Sameh A., Sun H., Purdue University, US

The development of new simulation tools is critical for the exploration of quantum transport in nanoscale devices. Such simulation is commonly performed by solving self-consistently the transport problem using The Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions (NEGF) formalism [...]
