"Effects of dissolved gases in the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water" by Prof. C.K. Chan
Date : December 9 th (Fri), 2016 Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm Venue: D015, Lab1 Level D Speaker: Prof. C.K. Chan (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
Title: Effects of dissolved gases in the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water
Abstract: Normally, carbon nano-tubes (CNT) cannot be dispersed easily in water because of the hydrophobicity of carbon surfaces. Usually, surfactants are added to form a stable CNT/Water dispersion. Here we report our experiments to explore the effects of dissolved gases in the water on the formation of CNT/water dispersion. In the experiments, multi-wall CNT are dispersed by sonification in water with and without degassing by the freeze-pump-thaw method. Contrary to the formation of stable surfactant-free dispersion...

HOW TO SURVIVE IN 会社 (JAPANESE COMPANY)
Working in a Japanese company, Kaisha ( 会社 ) , as a foreigner is a very scary process that only few have attempted so far. Both the daunting hierarchy and bewildering Keigo ( 敬語 ) frighten most people away. On the other hand, Japanese companies are also famous in their generosity to provide a full range of career trainings and supports to their employees. To know how to get a entry ticket from Kaisha and how to survive in it, we invite you to join with us!!

Nanoparticles by Design Unit (Sowwan Unit) would like to announce a seminar by Prof. Simon Brown
Speaker : Prof. Simon Brown, The MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Canterbury, 8140, Christchurch, New Zealand
Title : Percolating Cluster Devices: Possible Neuromorphic Applications
Abstract :
When clusters (nanoparticles) are randomly deposited on a surface they produce percolating films which have remarkable electrical properties. [1] Here we will focus on devices that contain percolating films of Sn clusters, and especially those that are deliberately constructed so as to guarantee that the film is close to the percolation threshold (onset of conduction). In these devices quantum mechanical tunnelling...
