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), prepared hydroxyl-enriched glucose-based carbonaceous sphere (HEGCS), which as a catalytic accelerator can remarkably improve the hydrolytic efficiency of cellulose to sugar. The study was published in ACS Applied Materials a...

A research group led by Prof. WANG Aiying at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), successfully fabricated dense Cr2AlC MAX phase coatings, and revealed that the oxidation kinetics of Cr2AlC MAX phase coatings follow a two-stage parabolic relationship at 900-1100 °C. The study was published in Corrosio...

The Bio-based Polymers Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed polyimine vitrimers with significantly enhanced creep resistance and thermal and mechanical properties via metal coordination. The study was published in Macromolecules.

Prof. ZHONG Zhicheng’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated the electronic structure of the recently discovered nickelate superconductors NdNiO2. They successfully explained the experimental difficulties in synthesizing superconducting nickelates, in cooperation with Prof. Karsten He...

A research group led by Prof. LIU Fu at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed anticoagulant dialyzers via a hydrogel skin implantation strategy, which has achieved heparin free hemodialysis for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) . The study was published in Journal of Membrane Science.
