Comparison of transport methodologies on near-field pollutant dispersion in urban environments using CFD by Tee, Clarence Wei Tat

“…The two methodologies are validated by simulating the dispersion phenomena for two test cases which largely bear resemblance to urban settings: a three-dimensional street canyon setup and the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) field experiment. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Synthesis of heavy cyanide analogs for the design of novel Prussian blue analogs by Yang, E

“…In order to provide illustrative points of comparison, analogous metal complexes bearing various strong-field ligands are also synthesized and analyzed using the same approach.…”

Bacteria-mediated anti-cancer therapy by Bhave, Madhura Satish

“…However, IB significantly inhibited the growth of the tumors and improved the survival rate of immunocompetent CT26 tumor-bearing mice. Histological analysis showed that IB increased the necrotic area in HCT116 tumors. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The establishment of a library of germylenes and stannylenes bearing different N-bound aromatic substituents with varying degrees of steric bulk allows for a systematic study of the steric effects of the flanking aryl groups on the overall molecular metrics of these complexes. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”
