A multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed a new class of tunable, zinc-based sorbents that use catalytic carbonate chemistry to efficiently capture carbon in the presence of water vapor.
Stanford researchers developed a 'self-healing' polymer coating that conforms to and stabilizes lithium metal battery electrodes. The polymer is an extremely stretchy, flexible and adaptive protective layer.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford University researchers have developed a novel interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel that is useful for a wide variety of medical, industrial and personal hygiene applications.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a high-performance, self-healing dielectric elastomer that could be used in stretchable electronics or robotic applications.
Stanford researchers developed a strong, flexible, high heat transfer architecture for electronics packaging interfacial material. The resins currently used in electronics packaging are a thermal management bottleneck.
Stanford researchers have developed an ultra-sensitive resistive pressure sensor based on an elastic, microstructured conducting polymer (EMCP) thin film.
Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford researchers have developed an elastomer polymer dielectric for high performance transistors with both high gain and high transconductance, which also shows unprecedented high bias-stress stability in air and water.
Dr. Richard Zare and colleagues have developed an inexpensive, fast and simple method for treating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blood collection tubes (BCTs) to remove bias and interference in various blood analysis procedures.
Hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds are widely used for culturing cells in three dimensions (3D) due to their tissue-like water content, tunable biochemical and physical properties, and ease of cell encapsulation and distribution in 3D.
