  • Customized Conducive and Magnetic FDM Filaments

  • Free-Standing 3D Printed PEDOT:PSS

  • Conductive Filler/Polymer Nanocomposites

    Conductive filler/polymer nanocomposites can present a broad range of electrical conductivity, covering the whole insulative-conductive region. This wide range of electrical conductivity arises from adjustable level of conductive network, and allows these nanocomposites to be employed in a broad spectrum of applications.

  • 3D Printed Cellulose Nanocrystal Aerogels

  • 3D Printed Cellulose Nanocrystals Aerogels

  • Highly Conductive 3D Printed PEDOT:PSS

  • Ultra Flyweight Conductive Aerogel

Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) covers the whole diamond of Synthesis-Processing-Structure-Property toward the development of multifunctional Polymer Nanocomposites. That is, NPNL carries out nanofiller synthesis and then develop and shape nanofiller/polymer nanocomposites using various polymer processing techniques to achieve the desired structure toward multifunctional polymer nanocomposites. Hence, our major research themes are as follows:

  • Polymer Processing, Forming, and Characterization
  • Multifunctional Polymer Nanocomposites with a Wide Range of Properties, i.e., Electrical, Electromagnetic, Dielectric, Gas Sensing, Thermal, Mechanical, Rheological, Tribological, and Optical.
  • Conductive and Magnetic Nanomaterials Synthesis (Carbon Nanotube, Graphene, Graphene Nanoribbon, Metallic Nanowires and Metallic Nanoparticles)
  • 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing)
  • Gas Sensors
  • Plastic Recycling
  • Aerogels and Hydrogels
