Depositing Material That Saves Time and Cost
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an excellent photocatalyst capable of oxidizing substances by absorbing light. It is widely used as a coating material for semiconductors and solar cells, as well as disinfectants, deodorizers and antibacterial agents. In industry, chemical vapor deposition and vacuum plasma deposition, such as the sol-gel process, have been generally applied to make TiO2 thin films, but such methods require high vacuum. Recently, low-temperature vapor deposition has been attractin..

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..
