Introduction
I'm currently working as a PostDoc Researcher at Chang Gung University, Taiwan. I am interested in the field of (polymer science and engineering) polymer blend, blend-based nanocomposites, bio-based nanocomposite, supercritical carbon dioxide and packaging materials.

In this study, a twin-screw extruder was used to fabricate poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends and blend-based nanocomposites with carbon nanotube (CNT) or nanocarbon black (CB) as nanofillers. The fabricated samples were subsequently treated with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to fabricate the corres...
Dimetridazole (DMZ) is a derivative of nitroimidazole and is a veterinary drug used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial or protozoal infections in poultry. The residues of DMZ cause harmful side effects in human beings. Thus, we have constructed a superior electrocatalyst for DMZ detection. A copper (Cu)-integrated poly(aniline) (PANI) electrocatal...
A twin-screw extruder was used to fabricate poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blends (7:3 weight ratio) and blend-based nanocomposites. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and organoclays (15A and 30B) served as the nanofiller, while maleated HDPE (PEgMA) acted as an efficient compatibilizer for the...

In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and organoclay (30B) were introduced into poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (70/30/30) ternary blend, with PMMA acting as a compatibilizer for the PLA and PVDF phases. Morphological results indicated that PMMA tended to entangle more with PVDF than with P...
In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) (70/30) blend and blend‐based nanocomposites with carbon nanotube (CNT) as a nanofiller were fabricated by conventional melt mixing. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the blend had a biphasic morphology, and CNTs were selectively distributed in the disper...
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was incorporated as compatibilizer in immiscible poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends at different ratios. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that, after adding PMMA, the phase morphology of PVDF/PLA blends evidently changed and the boundary became diffused, indicating improved...
Carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) individually or doubly served as reinforcing fillers in polycarbonate (PC)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-blend (designated CF)-based nanocomposites. Additionally, organo-montmorillonite (15A) was incorporated simultaneously with the individual carbon fillers to form hy...
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were incorporated individually into poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) blend to achieve blend-based nanocomposites. Maleated HDPE served as efficient compatibilizer for the immiscible PBAT/HDPE blend. Morphological analyses revealed that CNT and GN...
Chitosan (CS)/boron nitride nanoplatelet (BNNP) nanobiocomposite films were successfully prepared. Morphological results showed good dispersion of BNNPs in the CS matrix. After loading with BNNPs, water solubility (WS) and moisture absorption of the CS film decreased. The WS decreased from 41.2 to 27.8% at 7 wt% BNNP loading. Additionally, water va...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) and organoclay (15A) were introduced separately and simultaneously into the poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/polypropylene (PP) blend to fabricate PBAT-based nanocomposites with maleated PP played as a compatibilizer. SEM and TEM analyses confirmed the CNT and 15A were predominantly distributed in the PBAT matrix...
In this work, carbon nanotube (CNT) was used to fabricate poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) blend-based nanocomposites via a Haake mixer. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the CNT was mainly selectively located in the HDPE dispersed domains. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that CNT addition improved the...
In this study, green composite films based on cellulose nanocrystal/chitosan (CNC/CS) were fabricated by solution casting. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TEM characterizations were conducted to determine the structure and morphology of the prepared films. The addition of only 4 wt.% CNC in the CS film improved the tensile strength and Young’s modulus by up to...
Polyamide 6 (PA6)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) blend-based nanocomposites were successfully prepared using a twin screw extruder. Carbon nanotube (CNT) and organo-montmorillonite (30B) were used individually and simultaneously as reinforcing nanofillers for the immiscible PA6/PVDF blend. Scanning electron micrographs showed that adding 30B redu...
In this study, a graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) was used as a reinforcing filler to prepare poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) blend-based nanocomposites through a melt mixing method. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the GNP was mainly distributed within the PVDF matrix phase. X-ray diffraction analysis showed...
In this study, immiscible poly(butylene succinate)/high density polyethylene (PBS/HDPE) blend-based nanocomposites were successfully prepared through a melt mixing process. Carbon nanotube (CNT) and maleated HDPE (PEgMA) served as the reinforcing nanofiller and compatibilizer, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that PEgMA play...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) and organo-montmorillonite (15A) were used individually and simultaneously as reinforcing fillers to fabricate poly(butylene succinate)/polylactide (PBS/PLA) blend-based nanocomposites. Poly(butylene succinate-co-lactate) served as compatibilizer for the PBS/PLA blend. Morphological results demonstrated that the added CNT was...
Blends/composites of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene succinate-co-lactate) (PBSL) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) were successfully prepared by a conventional melt-mixing process. The thermal properties, phase morphology, crystal structure, and in vitro hydro-degradability of the prepared samples were characterized and compared. Thermogravimetr...
Poly(lactic acids) (PLAs) with different molecular weights (MWs) were prepared by autoclaving a commercial PLA for different time periods. The harvested PLAs were characterized by different techniques. Gel permeation chromatography results showed that the MW of PLA decreased with increasing autoclaving time. The Mark–Houwink parameters for PLA in d...
