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 mcirosphere-nanoparticle suspension system to
colloidal aggregation at the macroscale using nanoparticle haloing mechanism
.Characterized the size and zeta potential as well as the IEP of
microparticles using dynamic light scattering technique and electrophoresis
technique
.Synthesized monodisperse silica microspheres through the Stober Process
. 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)
. Currently exploring the packing structure of silica sediment by confocal
microscopy
. Currently investigating the chemicals distribution during sedimentation
using XPS technique
National Taiwan University (2007-2008) Taipei, Taiwan
. 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)
