An Innovation in Transparent Flexible Electronic Materials
Among two-dimensional materials, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is the only insulating material that is used to make transparent flexible and wearable electronic products. However, the large-area ‘polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride’ synthesized by the conventional method has shown a low insulating character due to its incomplete atomic bonding of boron and nitrogen. For the first time in history, Joo Song Lee (BIN Fusion Engineering doctoral student at Chonbuk National University) and ..

ACS-Recognized Research on New Polymer
A heat transfer composite material made from conventional polymer materials of poor thermal conductivity has a low heat transfer quality. In order to improve the downside of this feature, a Chonbuk National University team (Dept. of Polymer Nano Science & Technology) has developed a polymer material with a superb heat conductivity, which is easier to process. The new material is expected to be applicable in various industries such as electronics, energy, and aerospace, where effective hea..

Good News for Medical, Sanitary and Cosmetics Businesses
Nanomembranes are nanosized membranes with lots of potential, as we can mix various materials with the polymer solution to give the desired functions and spray them directly on the desired targets. Thus, they have been used for many different purposes in industries including water treatment, energy, health and agriculture. A CBNU doctoral student, Do-hee Lee (Bionano Systems Engineering) has developed a portable electric radiation device capable of producing polymer nanomembranes with high v..

Whole Fruit Reduces Obesity Risk
As fruits contain sugar, whether or not fruit consumption induces obesity has been debated for a long time. One of the world’s most popular weekly magazines, Time magazine, made reference for the second time to the research led by Professor Seong-Tshool Hong (Microbiology Department, Chonbuk National University Medical School) and colleagues, who proved whole-fruit eating reduces the risk of obesity. For the research, the team collected big data on the effects of fruit intake on the huma..
