Accelerated curing of high performance fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites via
microwave heating or radiation, which can significantly reduce cure time and increase …

Sewage sludge generation is steadily rising because of urbanization and population
increase. Handling the excess sludge is a tedious and costly task. Although anaerobic …

Additive manufacturing through material extrusion, often termed three-dimensional (3D)
printing, is a burgeoning method for manufacturing thermoplastic components. However, a …

Lightweight, high-strength, and multifunctional polymer composite foams are urgently
needed in numerous high-tech areas. Herein, we proposed a facile, clean, and energy …

Nanoscale defects such as dislocations have a profound impact on the physics of crystalline
materials. Understanding and characterizing the motion of screw dislocation and its …

Petroleum-based plastics are useful but pose a great threat to the environment and human
health. It is challenged for developing alternative materials to completely replace those …

Microwave-induced covalent functionalization of few-layer graphene with arynes under
solvent-free conditions - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C7CC08676H …

Improving heat transfer in hybrid nano/microelectronic systems is a challenge, mainly due to
the high thermal boundary resistance (TBR) across the interface. Herein, we focus on …

Hydrogen is an ideal synthetic fuel because it is lightweight, abundant and its oxidation
product (water) is environmentally benign. However, its utilization is impeded by the lack of …

By performing an extensive 150+ first-principles calculations, this work demonstrates how
the exotic properties of emerging 2D hBN nanosheets (eg, ultrahigh surface area, high …
