As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

In a study published in Journal of Membrane Science, a research group led by Prof. WAN Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a new zone ...

The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Sodium secondary batteries have a similar working principle to lithium secondary batteries, but are low-cost and are expected to serve a powerful supplement to lithium secondary batteries. Solid-state ...

Congratulations to Dr. Mengyuan Wang for successfully defending her Ph.D thesis on "Study of Solid Liquid Interfacial Polymerization and applications on surfacemodification and thin film formation"!

A new type of porous, inorganic membrane can separate compounds with molecular weights that range from 200 to 1,000. The material could be used to replace energy-intensive separations like ...

Sodium secondary batteries exhibit an identical functioning principle to lithium secondary batteries, but they come at a lower price and are expected to function as a potential complement to lithium ...

A research team from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of Prof. Yinhua Wan, has created a novel “etching–swelling–planting” technique to ...

Researchers develop innovative hydrogel-cement composites inspired by biomineralization, enhancing strength and thermal efficiency for sustainable construction.
