A research group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a novel asymmetric bilayer carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-elastomer/hydrogel composite with integrated actuating and sensing performances. The study was published in Chemical Engineering Journal.

A research group led by Prof. ZHU Jin at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has synthesized a high-efficiency carbon nanotube (CNT) modified lignin-based polyurethane adsorbent for crude oil spill remediation, in cooperation with Prof. CHEN Tao’ group at NIMTE and Prof. YAN Ning’s group at the Univ...

A research group led by Prof. LIU Jian at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a novel approach to reduce the phase-transition hysteresis in magnetocaloric La-Fe-Si alloys by microstructural manipulation. The study was published in Acta Materialia.

A research group led by Prof. ZHUGE Fei at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed an all-optically controlled (AOC) analog memristor, whose memconductance can be reversibly tuned by varying only the wavelength of the controlling light. The study was published in Advanced Functional Materials.

A research group led by Prof. ZHU Jin at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a polyurethane with excellent properties of stretchability, toughness, self-healing and even thermal repair, which mimic the biological functionalities of human muscles. The study was published in Advanced Functional...
