Supercapacitor (SC) is an energy storage technology that bridges the gap between conventional capacitors and rechargeable batteries. Emerging nano-architectured carbon–metal oxide composites are promising for electrode designs for supercapacitors due to their unique strategy utilizing electrochemical double-layer capacitance (EDLC) and pseudo-capacitance together in single cell to optimize the ...

Combining a nanocomposite technique and the electrospinning process, a robust dual-porosity scaffold structure was developed for a facile transport of metabolic nutrients and wastes through the nano-sized pores and for the cell implantation and blood vessel invasion through the micro-sized pores. The montmorillonite (MMT) nano-sized platelets were incorporated into poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) so...

Polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber and nanofibrous membranes are engineered and successfully fabricated using dry-jet wet spinning and electrospinning techniques, respectively. Fabricated membranes are characterized for their morphology, average pore size, pore size distribution, nanofiber diameter distribution, thickness and water contact angle. Direct contact membrane distillation (D...

Silicon (Si) based integrated Photonic Crystal (PhC) cavities show great promise for biosensing applications, owing to their high Quality (Q) factor, low mode volume and compatibility with Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication. We present the development of a new experimental technique to experimentally determine the sensing properties of PhC cavity mode. It makes use of a ...

In the present research, nonlinear vibration in a coupled system of Boron-Nitride nano-tube reinforced composite (BNNTRC) oil pipes is studied. Single-walled Boron-Nitride nano-tubes (SWBNNTs) are arranged in a longitudinal direction inside Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. Damping and shearing effects of surrounded medium are taken into account by visco-Pasternak model. Based on piezoele...

Theoretical analysis and Computer simulations have proven to be cost-effective and powerful tools in scientific studies of materials, particularly at nano-scale where synthesis of nano-structures, interpretation of their observed character and exploration of new structures are not always straight forward. We present here fundamental principles of techniques used today for computational simulati...

Abstract Recent advances in additive manufacturing enable redesigning material morphology on nano-, micro-, and meso-scale, for achieving an enhanced functionality the macro-scale. From non-planar flexible electronic circuits, through biomechanically realistic surgical models, to shoe soles individualized user comfort, multiple scientific technological areas undergo material-property redesign e...

Fiber-shaped materials (e.g. carbon nano tubes) are of great relevance, due to their unique properties but also the health risk they can impose. Unfortunately, image-based analysis fibers still involves manual annotation, which is a time-consuming and costly process. We therefore propose use region-based convolutional neural networks (R-CNNs) automate this task. Mask R-CNN, most widely used R-C...
