Prof. Juan Du and her colleagues have investigated the growth mechanism and size control of FePt NPs for years.In their work, the decomposition rate of Fe precursor was effectively controlled via one intermediate, namely a complex Fe(CO)x-OAm formed by reaction between iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) and oleyl amine (OAm, C18H35NH2), and also, the final results showed that the ...
Recently, Prof. Jin Zhu’s group at NIMTE developed a bio-based SMP material by substituting petroleum based chain extender with rosin based one. With the careful molecular design, they constructed highly incompatible hard and soft segments along the polymer chain and obtained shape-memory polyurethane (SMPU) with supreme shape recovery property.
To develop new avenues to recycle CF reinforced epoxy (EP) resin composites, Dr. Juan Li has undertaken the related research since 2010. After two years’ exploration, an efficient solution was found for the chemical recycling of CF/EP composites through oxidative degradation under mild conditions.
Recently, the functional membrane group led by Professor Lixin Xue developed a new bio-based polymeric hollow fiber membrane for the use of hemodialysis, which has been proved with excellent dialysis performances, good bio-compatibility and well controlled degradation capacity.
A group led by Prof. Runwei Li from NIMTE has been doing research in the nanoscale ion electrical transportation for years and achieved a series of progress. The researchers fabricated Nb/ZnO/Pt and ITO/ZnO/ITO thin film sandwiched structures through controlling the diffusion of niobium and oxygen ions at the nanoscale. They obtained quantum point contact structures at the a...
