Conducting Polymer Based Adhesives for Electrochemical Applications

Choi H., Yoon H., Chonnam National University, KR

There has been huge demand for developing advanced materials and devices for enhanced energy storage. However, relatively little attention has been devoted so far to the development of efficient binders for electrode materials. In this [...]

Polymer Nanocomposites Incorporating Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Jakubinek M.B., Martinez-Rubi Y., Ashrafi B., Guan J., Kim K.S., O’Neill K., Kingston C.T., Simard B., National Research Council Canada, CA

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are structurally analogous to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and possess equally impressive mechanical properties along with a different set of multifunctional properties including higher thermal stability than CNTs, wide band gap, electrical [...]

Applications of Enzymatic Saccharification Residues as a Fully Biobased Adhesive

Hafez I.H., Yang H., Tze W.T.Y., University of Minnesota, US

When woody biomass is enzymatically treated to release from its polysaccharide components fermentable sugars for bio-alcohols and other chemicals production, it typically leaves behind in the waste stream solid residues that are rich in lignin. [...]
