In collaboration with Prof. Zhaoliang Zhang's group at the University of Jinan, the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has produced a unique electrification strategy that enhances NOX pollutant removal performance at low temperatures.
Elemental mapping is an imaging technique used to visualize the spatial distribution of elements within a material. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is a widely used analytical technique for this purpose due to its ability to provide information on a broad range of elements, making it an ideal tool for studying compositional zonation and determining the elemental composition of a material.
Hydrogels are made of elastic networks of polymer chains that are permeated with water. They are soft, elastic, and biocompatible. As a result, the squishy materials are already widely used in contact lenses and wound care products. In addition, hydrogels have a lot of potential for use in food packaging, agriculture, and drug delivery systems.
A single strand of fiber created at Washington State University possesses the electrical conductivity of a polymer called polyaniline and the flexibility of cotton.
