The increasing consumption of regenerated cellulose, in particular the viscose fiber, has led to a significant development of dissolving pulps in the last decade. In this review paper, the current status of dissolving pulp with respects to raw materials, manufacturing processes, and some key issues are discussed. Non-…
We review the effects caused by a large difference in the dielectric constants of a semiconductor and its surrounding in colloidal semiconductor nanostructures (NSs) with various shapes, e.g., nanocrystals, nanorods, and nanoplatelets. The difference increases the electron–hole interaction and consequently the exciton…
Oil palm shell (OPS) nanoparticles were utilized as filler in fibers reinforced polyester hybrid composites. The OPS nanoparticles were successfully produced from the raw OPS using high-energy ball milling process. Fundamental properties including morphology, crystalline size, and particle size of the OPS nanoparticle…
To date, it has been a great challenge to design high-performance flexible energy storage devices for sufficient loading of redox species in the electrode assemblies, with well-maintained mechanical robustness and enhanced electron/ionic transport during charge/discharge cycles. An electrochemical activation strategy…
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as a promising anticancer drug delivery scaffold. However, some controversial points still require further investigation before clinical use. A complete understanding of how animal cells interact with drug-conjugated AuNPs of well-defined sizes remains poorly understood. In this…
A highly efficient fog collection unit is fabricated by integrating artificial spider silks. The fog collection efficiency of this unit increases first and then decreases after reaching a summit with the increase of the angles between adjacent artificial spider silks. Compared with similar units consisting of smooth f…
The flame‐retardant rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) containing pentaerythritol phosphate (PEPA) and expandable graphite (EG) were prepared by box‐foaming. The flame retardancy of RPUFs was characterized using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter. The results show that the PEPA/EG system can effectivel…
A chemiresistive detector for carbon monoxide was created from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by noncovalent modification with diiodo(η 5:η 1 -1-[2-( N, N -dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)-cobalt(III) ([Cp ∧ CoI 2 ]), an organocobalt complex with an intramolecular amino ligand coordin…
Glycopeptide-based hydrogelators with well-defined molecular structures and varied contents of sugar moieties were prepared via in vitro peptide glycosylation reactions. With systematic glucose modification, these glycopeptide hydrogelators exhibited diverse self-assembling behaviors in water and formed supramolecular…
Red-emitting nitride phosphors excited with blue light have great potential for the fabrication of warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Chemical composition and structural modification are generally adopted to optimize the photoluminescence behaviors of the targeted phosphors. Herein, on the basis of the famous C…
Miniaturized solid oxide fuel cells (micro-SOFCs) are being extensively studied as a promising alternative to Li batteries for next generation portable power. A new micro-SOFC is designed and fabricated which shows enhanced thermal robustness by employing oxide-based thin-film electrode and porous stainless steel (STS…
In 2005, the US passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandating the construction and operation of a high-temperature gas reactor (HTGR) by 2021. This law was passed after a multiyear study by national experts on what future nuclear technologies should be developed. As a result of the Act, the US Congress chose to devel…
Improvement in magnetic and electrical properties of multiferroic BiFeO3 in conjunction with their dependence on particle size is crucial due to its potential applications in multifunctional miniaturized devices. In this investigation, we report a study on particle size dependent structural, magnetic and electrical pr…
The current study investigated the anticancer properties of gold nanoparticles (SG-stabilized AuNPs) synthesized using water extracts of the brown seaweed Sargassum glaucescens (SG). SG-stabilized AuNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and energy di…
This paper is based on the 2015 AVS John A. Thornton Memorial Award Lecture. In 2015, the semiconductor industry celebrated the 50th anniversary of Moore's law, which has been followed by the semiconductor industry, resulting in continuously improved performance and increased density of the semiconductor microprocesso…
The consistency in capacity degradation in a multi-cell pack (>100 cells) is critical for ensuring long service life for propulsion applications. As the first step of optimizing a battery system design, academic publications regarding the capacity degradation mechanisms and possible solutions for cycled nickel/meta…
CaCu 3 Ti[Formula: see text]Y x O[Formula: see text] (0[Formula: see text]0.12) ceramics were fabricated with conventional solid-state reaction method. Phase structure and microstructure of prepared ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The impedan…
A novel low-cost method for melt purification of magnesium alloys, the melt self-purifying technology (MSPT), has been developed successfully based on a low temperature melt treatment (LTMT) without adding any fluxes. The iron solubility in the molten liquid of magnesium and its alloys, and the settlement velocity of…
