!! Save the Date !! Tuesday 17th June @ 2:15 pm, CR204 The Smart Plastics Group - LIMATB , is very pleased to announce a special seminar, by Pr. Jaime GRUNLAN (Texas A&M), “Low Temperature Thermal Reduction of Graphene Oxide Nanobrick Walls: Unique Combination of High Gas Barrier/Separation and Low Resistivity in Fully Organic Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Thin Films”, followed [...]

New synthesis method for graphene using agricultural waste (Nanowerk Spotlight) The four major synthesis methods for producing graphene are: chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metallic films, the epitaxial growth on silicon carbide, liquid exfoliation of graphite crystals, and the chemical reduction of graphene oxide. Using these processes it is possible to produce high-quality and large-sized [...]

Electronic nose with artificial sensing intelligence (Nanowerk Spotlight) A field effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that relies on an electric field to control the shape and hence the conductivity of a ‘channel’ in a semiconductor material. Several years ago, it was shown in a series of experiments that a silicon nanowire can [...]

Nanocomposites are multiphase or hybrid materials which when combined together, display markedly different properties from the bulk components. Nanocomposites differ from conventional composite materials due to the nanoscale dimensions of the filler phase and the exceptionally high surface to volume ratio of this phase. As a result they often possess unique mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical [...]

Ultrafast graphene sensor monitors your breath while you speak (Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene is just spearheading researchers’ foray into the world of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Besides carbon, molybdenum (MoS2), tungsten (WS2), and vanadium (VS2) all promise new material systems with unique properties and performance for a range of application areas. Functionalized graphene, for instance, holds exceptional [...]

Electronic skin takes your temperature (Nanowerk Spotlight) Previous work in stretchable, flexible electronics has shown that conventional, silicon wafer based fabrication techniques can be modified to apply electronics conformally to the heterogeneous topography of the skin (in a recent Nanowerk Spotlight we covered design considerations and recent progress in the development of electronic skin). Additionally, [...]

Ploemeur. Inauguration du plateau technique composite 4 décembre 2013 ComposiTIC, le plateau technique dédié aux matériaux composites, a été inauguré ce soir, à Ploemeur, à côté de Lorient. L’idée : réunir les laboratoires de recherche de l’Université de Bretagne Sud et les entreprises innovantes du territoire, pour initier des programmes de recherche et développement, et [...]

Once again our former PhD, Dr Bijandra KUMAR, stand out by publishing in Nature Communication ! Congratulations to him. The published work has been highlighted in more than 100 Magazines ! See below one the article related to his work. (Read more and See it on ScienceDaily) Process Holds Promise for Production of Synthetic Gasoline [...]

Wearable textile battery can be recharged by sunlight (Nanowerk Spotlight) Going hand in hand with the development of wearable electronic textiles, researchers are also pushing the development of wearable and flexible energy storage to power those e-textiles. For instance, as we reported in a previous Nanowerk Spotlight (« Nanotechnology T-Shirt to replace batteries? Towards wearable energy [...]
