Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
New and established researchers trade research results, focusing on synthesizing nanomaterials and developing nanodevices. Of particular concern, this time was improving the efficiency of energy conversion, conserving natural resources, reducing pollution, and enhancing the overall quality of life. About a hundred papers discuss such topics as the heat transfer behavior of aqueous suspensions of rod-shaped carbon nanotubes compared to commercial carbon nanotubes, the effect of milling time on changes in the physical and antioxidant properties of nanostructured </Zingiberofficinale/> rhizome (ginger root), synthesizing carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition of camphor oil over ferrocene and an aluminum isopropoxide catalyst, the effect of hole transport material properties on the photovoltaic performance of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells, the effect of etching time on electrical and optical properties of porous silicon, thermal stability and decay resistance properties of tropical wood polymer nanocomposites, and a humidity sensor based on nanostructured zinc oxide thin film prepared by the sol-gel immersion technique.
