Graphene oxide is composed of oxygenated functional groups, the most prevalent of which are carboxyl, carbonyl, epoxy, and hydroxyl. These functional groups present on graphe are polar, making it very ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are insoluble in many liquids such as water, polymer resins, and most solvents. This means they are difficult to evenly disperse in a liquid ...

Molecular recognition measurements using AFM are based on the interaction between two molecules. One molecule is attached to the tip of the AFM whereas the second molecule is attached to the sample ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has succeeded in depositing nitrogen-containing organic molecules as a highly ordered layer on silicon. This opens up new perspectives for the development of ...

Scientists chipping away at one of the great challenges of metal-catalyzed C--H functionalization with a new method that uses a cobalt catalyst to differentiate between bonds in fluoroarenes, ...

The surface of a material plays a pivotal role in determining its mechanical properties (e.g., friction and wear), the interaction with the environment (e.g., wettability), optical appearance, ...

The rapid global transition toward sustainable and renewable energy systems is driving an urgent need for advanced materials that combine high efficiency, ...

The field of sustainable bio-based nanocomposites has witnessed a surge of innovative research at the intersection of green chemistry, advanced materials ...

Instruction/Departmental Research IN Departmental Research includes space used for general research that is not organized research and is not separately budgeted and ...
