A Unified View of Dynamic Interfaces
Researchers from the University of Akron provide an early picture of a unified understanding of dynamic interfaces in nanostructured polymeric materials.
Unusual Emitting Nanocomposites
Researchers have recently used blue-light emitting quantum dots (QDs) and stilbene units to prepare nanocomposites with unusual fluorescence behavior.
Nitrogen Doping of Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites
Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada and Washington State University Tri-Cities in the US manipulated the structure of CNTs by introducing nitrogen between carbon atoms in CNTs, and succeeded in improving the charge storage capacity of CNT/polymer nanocomposites.
