Research progress on the correlation between properties of nanoparticles and their dispersion states in polymer matrix

Yang Sui et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the factors affecting the dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrices and describes key measures to promote nanoparticle dispersion. Successful preparation of PNCs requires nanoparticles with size smaller than the rotation radius of polymer chains and highly compatible or interacting surface with the matrix. Further studies on both thermodynamics and kinetics of the dispersion process are needed.

Effect of surface change by vacuum drying on the sedimentation stability of iron nanoparticles in volatile organic solvents

Heebo Ha et al.

Summary: This study presents a simple vacuum drying process to enhance the sedimentation stability of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) in ethanol without using dispersants. In-situ detection showed that vacuum dried FeNPs sedimented much slower than non-treated FeNPs. The improved stability was explained by changes in inter-particle attraction force due to reduced hydroxyl groups caused by vacuum annealing. Analysis of the FeNP surfaces before and after annealing provided a detailed understanding of the advantages of using vacuum annealing to improve sedimentation stability.

Engineering the edge-terminations and defect-density to enhance the electrochemical capacitance performance of vertical graphene nanosheets

S. R. Polaki et al.

Summary: The edge-terminations of vertical graphene nanosheets (VGN) were engineered through post-deposition plasma treatment under different gas environments (H2, N2, and O2) to extend its potentiality, enhancing surface energy and improving wetting nature, ultimately leading to an increase in electrochemical capacitance performance. Plasma functionalization was found to manipulate defect type and density in VGN, resulting in higher capacitance retention and improved cycle stability.

High-mobility p-type semiconducting two-dimensional β-TeO2

Ali Zavabeti et al.

Summary: Bilayer beta tellurium dioxide nanosheets were successfully synthesized through surface oxidation of tellurium and selenium mixture, demonstrating high-mobility p-type semiconductor properties. These nanosheets have potential applications in transistor fabrication, showing p-type switching with a high on/off ratio and field-effect hole mobility of up to 232 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) at room temperature. The carrier mobility reached even higher values of 6,000 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) on cooling to -50 degrees C, indicating promising prospects for high-speed and energy-efficient transparent electronics.

Understanding Nanoscale Topology-Adhesion Relationships Via Support Vector Regression

Nava Raj Khatri et al.

Summary: This study used support vector regression on atomic force microscopy data to establish a data-driven traction-separation relation for nanoscale adhesion. By incorporating full details of roughness as input features, over 200,000 topological data sets were analyzed, achieving an accurate prediction of adhesion with R-2 above 0.98. The derived traction-separation relation was validated through finite element analysis, presenting an integrated approach for characterizing nanoscale adhesion.
