Cao, Yixing (author), Chen, Wei (author), Du, Yunjia (author), Qi, Gaojin (author), Santos, Thebano (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)YAG: Ce3+ phosphor/silicone composites are widely used in solid-state lighting as a light converter to achieve white lighting. However, because of high thermal resistance and low thermal stability, the luminous performance of YAG: Ce3+ phosphor/silicone composite deteriorates rapidly when excited by high-power-density blue-laser. To explore...journal article 2022

Zhang, Y. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)In this paper, both synthetic slag and commercial slag covering the common composition range were employed to estimate the correlation between slag chemistry and reactivity through hydraulicity and dissolution tests. It was found that slag reactivity was favorably affected by increasing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and MgO contents, while the...journal article 2022

Chen, Jing (author), Liu, X. (author), Zeng, Xiao Liang (author), Ye, Huai Yu (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Hexagonal boron nitride (BN) is often used as filler to improve the thermal conductivity of polymer matrix due to its high thermal conductivity. However, previously reported BN-based composites always have a high in-plane thermal conductivity, which is not beneficial for vertical heat dissipation. In addition, high BN content results in the...journal article 2022

(author)A chemoenzymatic method for the synthesis of haloethers is presented. A combination of enzymatic hypohalite synthesis with spontaneous oxidation of alkenes and nucleophilic attack by various alcohols enabled the synthesis of a wide range of haloethers. The reaction system has been characterised and current imitations have been worked out. In...journal article 2022

Zhang, Liang (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Pengfei (author), Li, M. (author)In this research, a hybrid approach for path planning of autonomous ships that generates both global and local paths, respectively, is proposed. The global path is obtained via an improved artificial potential field (APF) method, which makes up for the shortcoming that the typical APF method easily falls into a local minimum. A modified...journal article 2021

Li, Xinhong (author), Zhang, Yi (author), Abbassi, Rouzbeh (author), Yang, M. (author), Zhang, Renren (author), Chen, Guoming (author)Urban gas pipelines usually have high structural vulnerability due to long service time. The locations across urban areas with high population density make the gas pipelines easily exposed to external activities. Recently, urban pipelines may also have been the target of terrorist attacks. Nevertheless, the intentional damage, i.e. terrorist...journal article 2021
