As a kind of frontier new material, electrospun nanofibers show vast perspectives in fabricating high performance protein adsorption materials attributing to their competitive structure advantages involving large specific surface area, high porosity, good pore channel connectivity, easy to surface functionalization, controllable single fiber and aggregate structure.
It could also offer a new frontier of material and design development – properties such as durability, elasticity, strength and water resistance can be controlled and altered – resulting in options that aren't possible with leather from cows, she says.
In recent years, quite many studies on polymer emulsions with unique core shell structure have emerged at the frontier between material chemistry and many other fields because of their singular morphology, properties and wide range of potential applications.
"But this is pushing the frontier of materials, and there are still basic technology and reliability questions".
Nanocomposites (NCs) are the new frontier of materials in civil and military applications.
This can be seen with materials such as composites for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technique: driven by demands from high performing sectors such as motorsports and automotive, the frontiers of material development will be pushed to even more extreme levels in order to reach even more successful results.
Recent development in nanoscience and nanotechnology has opened up new frontiers in materials science and engineering to create new materials for energy generation and storage.
Over the past decade, numerous important technological advances in nanotechnology have opened up new frontiers in materials science and engineering, leading to the creation of new materials to meet the energy challenge.
Three-dimensional (3D) silica monoliths (HOM-type) show promise to new frontiers in materials science.
He uses multiscale theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches to investigate various research frontiers in materials addressing challenges in energy and environment, nanomechanics, and mechanobiology.
