Probing Interfacial Interactions in Ternary Nanocomposites of Ti<inf>3</inf>C<inf>2</inf>T<inf>x</inf> MXene Nanoplatelets, Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes, and Poly(vinyl alcohol) toward Synergistic Reinforcement
(American Chemical Society, 2024-01-12)The fabrication of ternary nanocomposites has been proven to be a successful method to achieve synergistic reinforcement resulting from the combination of nanofillers within a polymer matrix. In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXene ... -
Probing the nanoscale organisation and multivalency of cell surface receptors: DNA origami nanoarrays for cellular studies with single-molecule control
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)Nanoscale organisation of receptor ligands has become an important approach to study the clustering behaviour of cell-surface receptors. Biomimetic substrates fabricated via different nanopatterning strategies have so far ... -
Probing vortex-shedding at high frequencies in flows past confined microfluidic cylinders using high-speed microscale particle image velocimetry
(AIP Publishing LLC, 2019-10)Vortex-shedding from micropins has the potential to significantly enhance and intensify scalar transport in microchannels, for example by improving species mixing. However, the onset of vortex-shedding and the mixing ... -
Processing code for optical characterization of flat capillary waves
(2021)This is the main module of a code for image processing of flat wave photographs (in two variants, Python and Maple). It produces an average profile of the wave which is then used to determine the wavelength and decay length ... -
Production of phosphorene nanoribbons.
(2019-04)Phosphorene is a mono-elemental, two-dimensional (2D) substance with outstanding, highly directional properties and a bandgap that depends on the number of layers of the material1-8. Nanoribbons, meanwhile, combine the ... -
Programmable helical twisting in oriented humidity-responsive bilayer films generated by spray-coating of a chiral nematic liquid crystal
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-28)© 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A facile method is presented that generates humidity-driven helical twisting in thin, oriented polyamide 6 (PA6) films by spray-coating of a chiral nematic liquid crystal followed by ... -
Progress and challenges on the thermal management of electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies: Fuel cells, electrolysers, and supercapacitors
(Elsevier BV, 2022-01)It is now well established that electrochemical systems can optimally perform only within a narrow range of temperature. Exposure to temperatures outside this range adversely affects the performance and lifetime of these ... -
Progress in electrolytes for beyond-lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2020-01-07)The constant increase in global energy demand and stricter environmental standards are calling for advanced energy storage technologies that can store electricity from intermittent renewable sources such as wind, solar, ... -
Progress in phase change nano-emulsions for energy applications-A concise review
(Elsevier, 2023)Thermal energy storage and transport are central to the wide application of renewable energy. With excellent storage capacities, latent heat storage is more promising than sensible one. Phase change materials are the primary ... -
Progressive Damage Modelling and Fatigue Life Prediction of Plain-weave Composite Laminates with Low-velocity Impact Damage
(Elsevier, 2021-06)This paper developed a fatigue-driven residual strength model considering the effects of low-velocity impact (LVI) damage and stress ratio. New fatigue failure criteria based on fatigue-driven residual strength concept and ...
