Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”

Surface modification of nanoscale energy electrodes using atomic layer deposition. by Hay, Zao Hiong.

“…In this thesis, the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied on hydrothermally grown rutile-TiO2 nanorods on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), cultivating a nanorod array of anatase-rutile TiO2 heterojunctions. Thickness of the ALD thin film for optimal photocurrent generation and electron transport properties was determined through a series of photoelectrochemical tests and reflectivity and quantum efficiency (QE) plots. …”

Optimization and application of Epon SU-8, an ultra-thick negative photoresist by Tan, Khee Lip.

“…The aspect ratios easily exceed those encountered in submicron lithography for standard integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. Unlike thin photoresist for IC manufacturing, lithography modelling and characterisation are not readily available for ultra-thick photoresist films.…”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…Using commonly prescribed TK inhibitors (TKIs), I show that TK genetic status generally predicts whether or not a cell line will show any response to genotype-matched TKI (GM-TKI), but is insufficient to predict drug tolerance, the ability of a cell line to sustain proliferation under drug. …”

Performance enhancement of ultrafiltration membrane via simple deposition of polymer-based modifiers by Tian, Miao, Wang, Rong, Goto, Atsushi, Mao, Weijia, Miyoshi, Yasuyuki, Mizoguchi, Hirotaka

“…In this work, a group of synthesized hydrophilic random copolymers and homopolymer were utilized to enhance PES UF membrane performance by a simple deposition of a thin layer. Despite the increased intrinsic resistance as a result of the thin modification layer, higher pure water permeability and recovery rate were observed for the modified Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane during Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) fouling test in comparison to the virgin membrane. …”
