e Research Assistant

Objective: To develop an alternate route to stabilize colloidal dispersion

and to control its rheological properties. This project can lead to the

development of a drilling fluid for the application of deep-well oil

extraction

. Studied robustness of microsphere-nanoparticle suspension system to

colloidal aggregation at the macroscale using nanoparticle haloing mechanism

. Synthesized monodisperse silica microspheres through the Stober Process

. Characterized the size and surface charge of microspheres using dynamic

light scattering technique and electrophoresis technique

. Applied statistical techniques to characterize the size distribution of

silica particles (modeling)

. Mapped out the phase diagram for micro-nano suspension systems based on

the sedimentation (image analysis)

. Examined the adsorption properties using Langmuir isotherm by data fitting

. Currently investigating the chemicals distribution during sedimentation

using XPS technique

National Taiwan University (2007-2008) Taipei, Taiwan

. Developed new polymer material for clothing

. Investigated the best formulation to synthesize polyaniline using emulsion

polymerization process

.Operated a batch process reactor to produce PET-Polyaniline polymer

composite (polymer processing)

. Analyzed the mechanical properties of PET-polyaniline composites

Additiona National Taiwan University (2008)
