The Biomedical Polymers Research Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), fabricated white-light-emitting alginate/polyacrylamide (PAAm) double network composite hydrogels, with vinyl-modified Ce-doped yttrium aluminum garnet phosphors (YAG:Ce–VTES) as crosslinkers. The obtained hydrogels showed ...

A research group led by Prof. GE Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has made great progress in organic solar cells (OSCs). 

The year 2019 marks the 70th founding anniversary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). American Chemical Society (ACS) Publications has celebrated its 70th anniversary by highlighting 70 articles contributed by CAS researchers. Two articles conducted by the researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (...

Functional Carbon Materials Research Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a graphene thermal interface material (TIM) composed of mainly vertically aligned graphene. Thanks to the ultra-high through-plane thermal conductivity and low compressive modulus, the resultant graphene TIM may ...

Polymer blending is a simple and effective means to bring desired properties that are demanded by end uses. However, compared to single-polymer systems, the foaming behavior and the cell structure of polymer blends are difficult to be precisely controlled. The reason lies in many influential factors, such as the phase morphology, the heterogeneous nucleation, and the differe...
