For their practical applications, their controllable synthesis in crystallinity (quality), size, growth position, growth temperature and quantity is indispensable. Towards the growth controllability, we are tackling the dynamic observation in atomic dimension of the transformation process from amorphous carbon to CNT and to graphene using in-situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) for amorphous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) which include various catalyst metal nanoparticles [1]. Among the various catalyst metals surveyed, low-melting point metals, such as Sn and In, which are rarely used for the conventional chemical vapor deposition, were found to be promising for the low temperature growth of graphene [2-4]. Based on this findings, stacked films of Sn\/C or In\/C were deposited onto oxide substrates, and were simply annealed at 150-250oC in vacuum [2, 3]. As confirmed by Raman analyses, graphene grew even at a temperature as low as 150oC by this simple method [3]. In the talk, nanosoldering of two CNTs for the future interconnection application will be also demonstrated [5]. (Refs: [1] M. Z. M. Yusop, et al., ACS Nano 6 (2012) 9567. [2] R.

Various works have reported that significant improvement has been observed by incorporating nanomaterials in the separation medium and thus enhancing the capacity of these processes for water and wastewater treatment. The talk will briefly review the overall progress in this area. In addition, we have recently extended the study to assess the environmental impacts through a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a composite polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (incorporating nanomaterials) and compared with neat PVDF membrane on algal membrane photoreactor (A-MPR) system’s overall sustainability. From the LCA analysis, silver\/graphene oxide – polyvinylidene fluoride (Ag\/GO-PVDF) membrane fabrication showed higher environmental impact than the neat PVDF membrane fabrication due to the addition of Ag\/GO nanohybrids into the polymer. However, the A-MPR system using the Ag\/GO-PVDF membrane exhibited better environmental footprint due to the improved performance of the modified membrane in producing higher volume of permeate as the output. Therefore, the A-MPR system using Ag\/GO-PVDF membrane had outweighed the additional environmental impact of the Ag\/GO-PVDF membrane fabrication process. Energy demand was identified as the main environmental hotspot in the LCA analysis. Subsequently, sensitivity analysis was performed to find out the effect of various energy mix for electricity generation towards the environment. The analysis revealed that the energy source for electricity generation had significant influence on the overall sustainability of the A-MPR system. The use of grid with 100% renewable energy (hydropower and geothermal) and solar photovoltaic might be able to mitigate 94.8% and 97.5% of CO2 emission, respectively.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(191,255,238,0.36)” background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(244,244,181,0.48)” background_color_gradient_direction=”39deg” background_color_gradient_start_position=”2%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”95%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/research.utm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/04\/original-1.jpeg” height=”420px” custom_margin=”-16px||-7px|||” custom_padding=”60px||60px||true|” top_divider_style=”asymmetric” top_divider_height=”50px” top_divider_flip=”vertical|horizontal” locked=”off”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ custom_margin=”|auto|41px|auto||” custom_padding=”9px|0|0|0|false|false” custom_width_px=”1440px” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ text_font=”Josefin Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_font=”Josefin Sans|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”10px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”0px||2px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”50px” header_font_size_phone=”34px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0)”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%249%%” icon_color=”#e02b20″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”30px” icon_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”Address” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ header_font=”Josefin Sans||||||||” body_font=”Josefin Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_line_height=”1.3em” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”|2px||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|false” animation_direction=”bottom” animation=”off” hover_transition_duration=”0ms” body_line_height_tablet=”” body_line_height_phone=”” body_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n Higher Institution Centre of Excellence (HICoE) [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%104%%” icon_color=”#e02b20″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”30px” icon_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ body_font=”Josefin Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”17px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”55px” custom_margin=”|||” animation_direction=”bottom” animation=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb url=”#” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%238%%” icon_color=”#e02b20″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”30px” icon_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”Email” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ body_font=”Josefin Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”17px” min_height=”26px” custom_margin=”|||” animation_direction=”bottom” animation=”off”]<\/p>\n iset2021@utm.my<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.22.3″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=” AMTEC Website by Web Team AMTEC 2018-2019″ subhead=”Copyright \u00a9 All Rights Reserved.” _builder_version=”3.19.4″ title_font=”||||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_font_size=”18px” content_font=”||||||||” content_text_align=”center” content_font_size=”15px” subhead_font=”||||||||” subhead_text_align=”center” custom_margin=”12px|||||” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\nProf. Dr.\u00a0Ng How Yong<\/h1>\n
