Graphene-based nanocomposites are newly emerged materials with a wide range of applications such as in supercapacitors electrode. The high conductivity and ability for passing electric current, makes Graphene an appropriate new item to be used in cells. Electroactive transition metal oxides, owing fast reversible redox pairs, are used to store electrical charge. Furthermore, the Graphene/NiO na...

A novel and sensitive strategy which integrated a DNA cycle device onto magnetic microbeads (MB), amplifying the signal with graphene oxide (GO) and enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity, was developed and was further successfully applied to thrombin detection.

High quality and naturally continuous structure of three-dimensional graphene network (3DGN) endow it a promising candidate to modify TiO2. Although the resulting composite photocatalysts display outstanding performances, the lacking of active sites of the 3DGN not only goes against a close contact between the graphene basal plane and TiO2 nanoparticles (weaken electron transport ability) but a...

Graphene/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites were prepared using in-situ solvothermal reduction of graphene oxide in the PVDF solution. The electrical conductivity of the composites was greatly improved by doping with graphene sheets. The percolation threshold of such composite was determined to be 0.31 vol.%, being much smaller than that of the composites prepared via blending reduced gr...

The inefficiency and the low success rates of surgical resection and side effects of chemotherapy used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma have elicited substantial research interest in alternative methods for treatment. Here we report the use of magnetic-dielectric composite of Chromium doped Iron Oxide (Cr0.2Fe1.8O3) – Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) for the hyperthermia treatment of ...

Polypropylene has been widely used as dielectric material in organic thin-film capacitors due to their high breakdown strength, low loss and self-healing capability. However, polypropylene’s energy density is relatively low. Increasing the of polypropylene by adding materials with a constant commonly used. Still, it often leads an increase loss, lower strength other shortcomings. In this study,...

Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon sheet, has attracted great interest due to its unique properties. To explore its practical applications, large-scale synthesis with controllable integration of individual graphene sheets is essential. To date, numerous approaches have been developed for graphene synthesis, including mechanical cleavage, epitaxial growth, and chemical vapor deposition. All of t...

During the past few decades, materials design has shifted emphasis to pursue low cost, quality, light weight, environment friendliness, and performance. Aluminium matrix composites are important class of engineering materials used in aerospace, automotive, engineering, defence and other industries because of their lower density, higher specific strength, and better physical and mechanical prope...
