Non-aqueous wool fiber dyeing process using reverse micellar approach

Kan C-W, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HK

In textile industry, reactive dyeing using nanoscaled dye carrier in non-aqueous solvent mostly find several advantages such as well dispersibility, low viscosity and high diffusion into wool fabric matrix properties can result in shorter dyeing [...]

Multiscale Modeling and Experimental Study of CO2 Absorption into Ionic Liquid Reverse Micelle

Shi W., Hong L., Kusuma V.A., Hopkinson D.P., National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Highly viscous solvents for gas absorption will lead to large pumping power requirement and large absorption/desorption tower, resulting in high capital cost. Ionic liquids (ILs) represent such examples even though ILs have been extensively studied [...]

Dendrimer Nanoparticles for Extending Biosensor Lifetime

Qian X., Tabacco M.B., Smiths Detection, US

Smiths Detection has been developing semi-selective optical biosensors for the direct airborne detection of the four primary classes of biological warfare agent: bacteria, bacterial spores, toxins and viruses. The sensors have good sensitivity and selectivity. [...]
