Most studies available on the buckling problem of laminated plates with positive or NPR are those under uniaxial compression. Here, we report that the buckling phenomenon may occur for auxetic nanocomposite laminated plates under uniaxial tension when the unloaded edges of the plates are immovable. Two types of nanocomposites are considered, including graphene/Cu and carbon nanotube/Cu composites. Governing equations of the auxetic nanocomposite laminated plates are formulated based on the framework of Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory. In modeling, the von Kármán nonlinear strain–displacement relationship, temperature-dependent material properties, thermal effects, and the plate–substrate interaction are considered. The explicit analytical solutions for postbuckling of auxetic nanocomposite laminated plates subjected to uniaxial tension are obtained for the first time by employing a two-step perturbation approach. Numerical investigations are performed for tension buckling and postbuckling behaviors of auxetic nanocomposite laminated rectangular plates with in-plane NPR rested on an elastic substrate under temperature environments.

The brittle indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode, which is currently commonly used, is difficult to be compatible with the flexible substrate. Multilayer dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) structure films are attracting attention as next-generation ITO-free electrodes. High optical transmittance, super electrical conductivity, and mechanical flexibility of DMD electrodes make them promising for highly efficient optoelectronic devices. Despite substantial research on the optimization of DMD electrodes, a large gulf still exists in obtaining foldable and transparent conductive electrodes and applying them to light-emitting devices, including organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), quantum dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs. In this perspective, we review the superiority of DMD electrodes in terms of optical and electrical performance, and mechanical flexibility, and summarize their applications in LEDs. Furthermore, we also give future research directions for DMD electrodes regarding physical properties, mechanism stability, and application reliability.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135501755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most recent molecular dynamics simulation and experimental work on the design, fabrication, ion rejection, and water flux of MoS 2 were summarized. Since MoS 2 has excellent properties such as physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties compared to other 2D materials such as graphene-based nanomaterial, it is necessary to have a critical study on MoS 2 -based membranes. Hence, a critical review of MoS 2 -based membranes has been found essential for us to investigate and evaluate the findings in this field and objectively assess the current state-of-the-art in water desalination. The advantages of desalination technology and the primary approaches that have been used up until now are first outlined in this study, deeply emphasizing membrane technology. The primary mechanism of salt rejection in membrane technology is explained. Then, the types of MoS 2 -based membranes for water desalination are reviewed based on the different published works while critically reviewing the performance of each type of MoS 2 -based membranes.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136203652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a high-performance wearable flexible strain sensor based on a thermoplastic polyurethane electrospun nanofibers (TPUNFs) film embedded with a silver nanowires/reduced graphene oxide (AgNWs/rGO) composite conductive material was fabricated via a simple drop-coating technique. The effect of the amount of AgNWs/rGO composite conductive material on the strain sensing range of the AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor was investigated, the strain sensing range of AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor was compared with that of the AgNWs/TPUNFs and GO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor, and the strain sensing properties of the AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor were measured. The results showed that the AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor with high sensitivity and wide sensing range simultaneously was achieved by compounding AgNWs and the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) conductive material. The strain sensing range of the AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor could be improved by increasing the amount of the AgNWs/rGO composite conductive material, and it was obviously better than that of AgNWs/TPUNFs and the rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor. The obtained AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor possessed high sensitivity (the gauge factor could reach a maximum of 2513.23.) as well as a wide sensing range (∼187%). Furthermore, the obtained AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor had a fast response/recovery time (200 ms/300 ms) and good cycling stability (∼3,000 cycles). Benefitting from the outstanding strain sensing performance, the AgNWs/rGO/TPUNFs film flexible strain sensor could detect large human motions such as finger, wrist, and knee bending as well as expression, which demonstrates great potential applications in wearable devices.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136204444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the effect of different anodic oxidation parameters on the nanotubes morphology in 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds. Micron-scale pores were fabricated by 3D printing first, and then the nano-scale tubes were obtained via anodizing treatments. The results demonstrated that the morphology of the nanotubes depended on the anodic oxidation time and voltage, respectively. Longer anodic oxidation led to the formation of circle-like nanotubes, and the diameter of the nanotubes increased with the voltage. The scaffolds anodized at 30 V showed the best cell proliferation potential. The presence of nanotubes on the surface of scaffold altered the adhesion of bacteria so that it improved the antibacterial properties of scaffold. The formation of nanotubes improved the drug-loading ability of the scaffold, which are used for loading of minocycline antibacterial drugs. The proposed 3D printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold with nanotubes surface modification showed obvious antibacterial effect, which is expected to have a promising application in antibacterial bone prosthesis.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48027026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work mainly studies the reinforcement effect of UHPNC on concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns under long-term load. Ten CFST columns strengthened with UHPNC were selected and reinforced with UHPNC. The influences of different thicknesses of UHPNC reinforcement layer and different nano-silica contents on the axial compression properties of specimens were mainly studied, by loading specimens in two steps: long-term load and ultimate load. This study discussed the failure modes, compressive toughness, ultimate bearing capacity, initial stiffness, and ductility coefficient of the specimens. The results show that the outsourced UHPNC reinforcement method is an effective method to improve the performance of CFST columns during service period. With the increase in the thickness of UHPNC reinforced layer, the ultimate bearing capacity of CFST column increases greatly. The compression toughness is increased with the increase in nano-silica content and UHPNC reinforcement layer thickness. The decrease rate of initial stiffness increases with the increase in nano-silica content.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45943925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, control on the structure and properties of waste-derived carbon nanomaterials still requires substantial future research. In this review, recycling materials into nanocomposites containing graphene are narrated by overviewing all the 120 publications currently available in the literature including their pioneering study in 2012 and their recent developments until 2022, focusing on energy-related aspects of functional graphene-based nanocomposites. Interestingly, almost all currently available sources report on composites in which graphene is a high value-added filler or matrix, and only the other phase originates from wastes. Flexibility of process parameters of pyrolysis methods enables the synthesis of biomass-derived graphene composites for virtually any kind of industrial applications. Biomass often acts both as carbon and SiO2 source, while only a few percentages of graphene material induce significant changes in their physicochemical properties. Utilization of wastes for energetic composites increases abruptly due to their outstanding price-to-value ratio and reusability. Future perspectives and current green chemistry or human health related challenges are also discussed to pave ways for new developments using unexplored waste sources.","PeriodicalId":18839,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnology Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45576554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural pozzolan with/without glass cullet was fused to glass melt that quenched in water to glass frits. The dried glass frits were pulverized (<0.083 mm) and then shaped in a stainless mold. The thermal behavior of the glasses shows a widening of the crystallization temperature with the incorporation of the glass cullet between ∼800 and 950°C. Sintering of the shaped glass powder at 1,050°C/2 h lead to the crystallization of augite, enstatite, cristobalite, and hematite. The microcrystalline structure shows massive texture with pores in-between; however, at high magnification regular euhedral to subhedral crystals in submicron to nearly submicron size was developed in the glassy matrix and their microanalysis indicates the dominant augite. The density of the glass-ceramic samples decreases from 2,706 to 2,539 kg/m3 with the incorporation of glass wastes. The sample surfaces show, through force electron microscopy, the fineness and smoothness of the grains with the incorporation of the glassy portion. The microhardness values were between 6.43 and 6.11 GPa. The coefficient of thermal expansion increased from 32.87 (25–300°C) to 66.89 (25–500°C) × 10−7°C−1. The chemical resistance of samples in water (0.0002–0.0016) is better than in an acidic medium (0.0011–0.0017).
