High-consistency enzymatic fibrillation (HefCel) – a cost-efficient way to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNF)

Kangas H., Pere J., Qvintus P., VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., FI

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are promising bio-based materials for numerous applications, either as replacement of oil-based materials in existing products, potentially with added functionality, or in generating completely new materials and products. The production of material [...]

Nano-contacts and Nano-interconnects

Monty G., Underwriters Laboratories, and IEC TC113, US

This oral paper is the result of nearly 3 years of review and analysis of the state-of-the art of nano-contacts and nano-interconnects. An analysis of over 80 technical articles was performed, including interviews with some [...]

Fabrication and Thermomechanical Characterization of CNF-Filled Polyester and E-Glass/Polyester Nanophased Composites

Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

A high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to infuse CNFs into the polyester matrix which was then mixed with catalyst using a high speed mechanical agitator. Results showed the significant improvement of mechanical properties [...]

High Strain Rate Compression Behavior of Conventional and CNF-Filled-Nanophased Glass/Polyester Composites

Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

A high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to infuse carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into polyester matrix that was then mixed with hardener using a high speed mechanical agitator. The trapped air and reaction volatiles were [...]
