The Effects of Recycling on the Structure and Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Filled Polycarbonate

Zhang J., Panwar A., Bello D., Isaacs J.A., Jozokos T., Mead J., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

Sustainable manufacturing processes are becoming more important in industrial practice. A critical part of the manufacturing process is understanding the recycling behavior of nanocomposite materials, particularly as more recycled plastic nanocomposites are entering the market [...]

Electrocatalytic activity of core-shell carbon-metal nanocomposites derived from carbon dioxide

Lee J.W., Zhang J., Kim Y., Byeon A., Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, KR

The polymer electrolyte fuel cells(PEFCs) have demonstrated one of promising devices to convert chemical energy of fuels with high energy efficiency, high power density, and low environment impact. Despite wide applications in many areas, the [...]

Versatile Polymer-Derived Nanocrystal Microreactors towards Uniform Fluorescent Photonic Crystal Supraballs

Zhang J., Ling L.T, Tian Y., Wang C.F., Chen S., Zhang J., Nanjing Tech University, CN

In this work, versatile polymer-derived NC microreactors were designed for the first time towards the construction of fluorescence colloidal photonic crystals. The carboxyl-terminated polystyrene colloids were synthesized by seeded copolymerization of AA and HEMA with [...]

Microstructures design of the assembly of monodisperse polystyrene microspheres via alternative current electric field

Ling L.T, Zhang J., Wang C.F., Chen S., Nanjing Tech University, CN

The assembly of monodisperse polystyrene microspheres under alternative current electric field was applied as a model system to study the assembling mechanism for nanomaterials. The microspheres of about 1-2 μm in diameter enable us to [...]

Mass Production of Metal Oxide Nanoparticle Dispersion for Heat-ray Shielding Application

Shen Z., Soh W., Zhang J., Wang A., Chen J., Chen W., Yun J., Sher D., Chen J., Chen W., NanoMaterials Technology Pte Ltd, SG

A unified approach, HGCP process was applied to produce various metal oxide nanoparticle dispersion with low cost. The process involved achieving instantaneous molecular mixing for metal salts and precipitant reactants by using HGCP reactor to [...]

A Metallofullerene Nanoparticle Platform for Imaging and Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme Tumors

Dorn H.C., Zhang J., Fatouros P., Shultz M.D., Wilson J.D., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, US

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumors occur as masses with infiltrative margins that are extremely invasive. GBMs result in a high recurrence rate with a poor prognosis for patients who are newly diagnosed with only an [...]

A Charge Based Non-Quasi-Static Transient Model for SOI MOSFETs

Zhang J., He H., He J., Ye Y., He H., He J., Chan M., Peking University, CN

A non-quasi-static (NQS) transient model for SOI MOSFETs is presented based on charge based dc model which is extensively verified with various structure parameters. From the inversion charge and current-continuity equation, the partial differential equation [...]
