Multifunctional Nanostructures and Nanoarchitectures

Hunyadi Murph S.E., Savannah River National Laboratory, US

The development of functional nanomaterials with multi-detection modalities opens up new avenues for creating multi-purpose technologies for many applications. The “ideal” nanoparticle would combine multiple detection modalities (magnetic, plasmonic, elastic or inelastic light scattering, fluorescence, [...]

Flame retardant Polypropylene nanocomposites: Catalytic and synergistic effects between maleic anhydride grafted Polypropylene and cobalt nanoparticles

He Q., Lamar University, US

A novel function of polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) as synergistic additive to eﬀectively reduce the flammability of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites (PNCs)reinforced with in situ synthesized cobalt (Co)–cobalt oxide core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) was reported.

Direct catalytic liquefaction of low-volatile hydrocarbons to clean light liquid fuels

Ganguli P.S., Energy Catalysis, Inc., US

Energy Catalysis, Inc. developed a direct catalytic liquefaction process for converting low-volatile heavy hydrocarbons such as coal, petroleum residuum, vacuum gas-oil, and tar sand bitumen into clean light liquid fuels. The technology concept was based [...]
