UHMWPE, celebrated for its exceptional strength, has emerged as a driving force in the field of medical applications. Its outstanding biocompatibility and low friction coefficient contribute to UHMWPE an ideal candidate for a wide range of implants, prosthetics, and orthopedic devices. Moreover, its resistance to wear and tear ensures long-term d
A Deep Dive into Lithium-Ion Battery Materials
Lithium-ion batteries lead the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. Nonetheless, the demand for lithium-ion batteries in emerging applications such as electric vehicles and grid storage has placed increased pressure on the supply chain of vital battery materials.
Metal-Organic Framework Encapsulation of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Graphene Integration
Recent investigations have demonstrated the significant potential of porous coordination polymers in encapsulating nanoclusters to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic combination offers novel opportunities for improving the efficiency of graphene-based composites. By carefully selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanop
Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a appropriate substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a hydrot
