CBNU Team Develops New RC Polymer
Professor Kwang-Un Jeong’s Team (Polymer-Nano Science and Technology) has developed a “smart” polymeric actuator that can remotely control the shape of film using lights. Actuators are materials that can convert their shape or position and perform mechanic work in response to energies from outside. In this study, Dr. Dae-yoon Kim, the main author, successfully designed and synthesized the actuating polymer based on azobenzene, one of the dyeing materials. Through the joint research wit..

Researchers Publish in Top British Journal
A research team of Chonbuk National University (CBNU) found a mechanism to achieve a stable dispersion of nano-sized carbon black particles in an aqueous environment. Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products. The result of this study is expected to be utilized for the risk assessment of toxic nanoparticles, as the toxicity of nanoparticles to living organisms in aqueous environments is highly dependent on their stability. It was selec..
