Functional Composites News Today

A research group headed by Dr Sang-Bok Lee and Byeongjin Park from the Department of Functional Composites at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) successfully developed the world’s first ultra-thin composite film.

The research team led by Dr. Kim Tae-hoon of the Department of Functional Composites of the Composites Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS, President Jung-hwan Lee), a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, succeeded in developing the world's first multifunctional carbon nanotube fiber which simultaneously achieves high energy storage capacity and high strength, together with the research team of Professor Yang Seung-Jae of...

A method for improving the mechanical characteristics of different welded components has been introduced.

Polymer-based nanocomposites with hybrid fillers are expected to possess high energy storage density taking advantage of different morphologies and electric properties of the nanofillers. In this article, hybrid semi-conductive nanofillers with MoS2 two-dimensional (2-D) nanosheets and ZnO zero-dimensional (0-D) nanoparticles in different ratios were fabricated by the wet chemical route and ultrasonic mixing. The ZnO nanoparticles have a good distribution on MoS2 nanosheets confirmed by TEM, XRD...
