Carbon Nanorods Feature as Journal Cover Image<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vertically-aligned carbon nanorods co-developed by Professor Yoke Khin Yap are being featured on the cover of Carbon (issue 49\/8, July 2011). These nanorods contained nitrogen donors and will have enhanced electrical and electrochemical properties as compared to pure carbon nanomaterials. They were self-assembled into vertical arrays as induced by the applied electric fields and the incorporation of polarized isonitrile bonds [\u2013N\u2261C] during the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. This work was conducted in the University of Malaya when Professor Yap was on his sabbatical visit during Jan-May 2009. The related article was published by\u00a0Ritikos et al. in issue 49\/6 (May 2011)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of the journal. Carbon is a journal published by Elsevier with an impact factor of 4.5.

A new collaboration has been established between Associate Professor Yoke Khin Yap and\u00a0Dr. Dieter Gruen<\/strong><\/a>, an\u00a0Argonne Distinguished Fellow<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). In this project Ming Xie, a graduate student of Professor Yap, will receive support to work in ANL on novel nanocarbon composites. During the next three years, Ming will work closely under the supervision of Dr. Gruen on the preparation of these composites. Ming will then characterize the properties of these materials by various techniques including electron microscopy, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Research data derived from this work will contribute toward Ming’s PhD thesis at Michigan Tech. The two research groups are enthusiastically looking forward to producing fruitful results from this new collaboration.
