The research group led by Prof. Aiguo Wu from NIMTE has explored the water-phase synthesis of multifunctional Fe3O4-TiO2 nanocomposites with Janus structure. The size of the Janus Fe3O4-TiO2 nanocomposites is 30-40 nm, the r2 value is around 54.691 mM-1S-1 and the r2/r1 value is larger than 3. 

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.
