Deep Learning Method to Accelerate Discovery of Hybrid Polymer-Graphene Composites.

ABSTRACT: Interfacial encoded properties of polymer adlayers adsorbed on the graphene (GE) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) have been constituted a scaffold for the creation of new materials. The holistic understanding of nanoscale intermolecular interaction of 1D/2D polymer assemblies on substrate is the key to bottom-up design of molecular devices. We develop an integrated multidisciplinary approach based on electronic structure computation [density functional theory (DFT)] and big data mining [machine learning (ML)] in parallel with neural network (NN) and statistical analysis (SA) to design hybrid polymers from assembly on substrate. Here we demonstrate that interfacial pressure and structural deformation of polymer network adsorbed on GE and SiO₂ offer unique directions for the fabrication of 1D/2D polymers using only a small number of simple molecular building blocks. Our findings serve as the platform for designing a wide range of typical inorganic heterostructures, involving noncovalent intermolecular interaction observed in many nanoscale electronic devices.

Bulk Polymer-Derived Ceramic Composites of Graphene Oxide.

Project description:Bulk polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) composites of SiCO with an embedded graphene network were produced using graphene-coated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) foams as templates. The pyrolysis of green bodies containing cross-linked polysiloxane, PVA foams, and graphene oxide (GO) resulted in the decomposition of PVA foams, compression of GO layers, and formation of graphitic domains adjacent to GO within the SiCO composite, leading to SiCO composites with an embedded graphene network. The SiCO/GO composite, with about 1.5% GO in the ceramic matrix, offered an increase in the electrical conductivity by more than 4 orders of magnitude compared to that of pure SiCO ceramics. Additionally, the unique graphene network in the SiCO demonstrated a drop in the observed thermal conductivity of the composite (∼0.8 W m-1 K-1). Young's modulus of the as-fabricated SiCO/GO composites was found to be around 210 MPa, which is notably higher than the reported values for similar composites fabricated from only ceramic precursors and PVA foams. The present approach demonstrates a facile and cost-effective method of producing bulk PDC composites with high electrical conductivity, good thermal stability, and low thermal conductivity.

Automatic Meningioma Segmentation and Grading Prediction: A Hybrid Deep-Learning Method.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine whether a deep-learning-based assessment system could facilitate preoperative grading of meningioma. This was a retrospective study conducted at two institutions covering 643 patients. The system, designed with a cascade network structure, was developed using deep-learning technology for automatic tumor detection, visual assessment, and grading prediction. Specifically, a modified U-Net convolutional neural network was first established to segment tumor images. Subsequently, the segmentations were introduced into rendering algorithms for spatial reconstruction and another DenseNet convolutional neural network for grading prediction. The trained models were integrated as a system, and the robustness was tested based on its performance on an external dataset from the second institution involving different magnetic resonance imaging platforms. The results showed that the segment model represented a noteworthy performance with dice coefficients of 0.920 ± 0.009 in the validation group. With accurate segmented tumor images, the rendering model delicately reconstructed the tumor body and clearly displayed the important intracranial vessels. The DenseNet model also achieved high accuracy with an area under the curve of 0.918 ± 0.006 and accuracy of 0.901 ± 0.039 when classifying tumors into low-grade and high-grade meningiomas. Moreover, the system exhibited good performance on the external validation dataset.

Characterization of Wood and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) Reinforced Polymer Composites.

Project description:This paper investigates the utilization of commercial masterbatches of graphene nanoplatelets to improve the properties of neat polymer and wood fiber composites manufactured by conventional processing methods. The effect of aspect ratio of the graphene platelets (represented by the different number of layers in the nanoplatelet) on the properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is discussed. The composites were characterized for their mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact) and physical characteristics (morphology, crystallization, and thermal stability). The effect of the addition of nanoplatelets on the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the reinforced polymer with different contents of reinforcement was also investigated. In general, the mechanical performance of the polymer was enhanced at the presence of either of the reinforcements (graphene or wood fiber). The improvement in mechanical properties of the nanocomposite was notable considering that no compatibilizer was used in the manufacturing. The use of a masterbatch can promote utilization of nano-modified polymer composites on an industrial scale without modification of the currently employed processing methods and facilities.

Synergistic Effects of Hybrid Carbonaceous Fillers of Carbon Fibers and Reduced Graphene Oxides on Enhanced Heat-Dissipation Capability of Polymer Composites.

Project description:In this study, we investigated the synergistic effects of thermally conductive hybrid carbonaceous fillers of mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers (MPCFs) and reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) on the thermal conductivity of polymer matrix composites. Micro-sized MPCFs with different lengths (50 ?m, 200 ?m, and 6 mm) and nano-sized rGOs were used as the thermally conductive fillers used for the preparation of the heat-dissipation polymer composites. For all MPCF fillers with a different length, the thermal conductivity values of the MPCF/epoxy composites were proportional to the MPCF length and loading amount (0-50 wt%) of MPCFs. For an MPCF:rGO weight ratio of 49:1 (total loading amount of 50 wt%), the thermal conductivity values of MPCF-rGO/epoxy composites loaded with MPCFs of 50 ?m, 200 ?m, and 6 mm increased from 5.56 to 7.98 W/mK (approximately 44% increase), from 7.36 to 9.80 W/mK (approximately 33% increase), and from 11.53 to 12.58 W/mK (approximately 9% increase) compared to the MPCF/epoxy composites, respectively, indicating the synergistic effect on the thermal conductivity enhancement. The rGOs in the MPCF-rGO/epoxy composites acted as thermal bridges between neighboring MPCFs, resulting in the formation of effective heat transfer pathways. In contrast, the MPCF-rGO/epoxy composites with MPCF:rGO weight ratios of 48:2 and 47:3 decreased the synergistic effect more significantly compared to rGO content of 1 wt%, which is associated with the agglomeration of rGO nanoparticles. The synergistic effect was inversely proportional to the MPCF length. A theoretical approach, the modified Mori-Tanaka model, was used to estimate the thermal conductivity values of the MPCF-rGO/epoxy composites, which were in agreement with the experimentally measured values for MPCF-rGO/epoxy composites loaded with short MPCF lengths of 50 and 200 ?m.

Graphene-graphite hybrid epoxy composites with controllable workability for thermal management.

Project description:The substantial heat generation in highly dense electronic devices requires the use of materials tailored to facilitate efficient thermal management. The design of such materials may be based on the loading of thermally conductive fillers into the polymer matrix applied - as a thermal interface material - on the interface between two surfaces to reduce contact resistance. On the one hand, these additives enhance the thermal conductivity of the composite, but on the other hand, they increase the viscosity of the composite and hence impair its workability. This in turn could negatively affect the device-matrix interface. To address this problem, we suggest a tunable composite material comprising a combination of two different carbon-based fillers, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and graphite. By adjusting the GNP:graphite concentration ratio and the total concentration of the fillers, we were able to fine tune the thermal conductivity and the workability of the hybrid polymer composite. To facilitate the optimal design of materials for thermal management, we constructed a 'concentration-thermal conductivity-viscosity phase diagram'. This hybrid approach thus offers solutions for thermal management applications, providing both finely tuned composite thermal properties and workability. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by fabricating a thermal interface material with tunable workability and testing it in a model electronic device.

Thermal conductivity of polymer composites with the geometrical characteristics of graphene nanoplatelets.

Project description:One of the most important physical factors related to the thermal conductivity of composites filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is the dimensions of the GNPs, that is, their lateral size and thickness. In this study, we reveal the relationship between the thermal conductivity of polymer composites and the realistic size of GNP fillers within the polymer composites (measured using three-dimensional (3D) non-destructive micro X-ray CT analysis) while minimizing the effects of the physical parameters other than size. A larger lateral size and thickness of the GNPs increased the likelihood of the matrix-bonded interface being reduced, resulting in an effective improvement in the thermal conductivity and in the heat dissipation ability of the composites. The thermal conductivity was improved by up to 121% according to the filler size; the highest bulk and in-plane thermal conductivity values of the composites filled with 20?wt% GNPs were 1.8 and 7.3?W/m·K, respectively. The bulk and in-plane thermal conductivity values increased by 650 and 2,942%, respectively, when compared to the thermal conductivity values of the polymer matrix employed (0.24?W/m·K).

Cross-Linked Double Network Graphene Oxide/Polymer Composites for Efficient Coagulation-Flocculation.

Project description:Hybrid coagulant/flocculant consisting of nanomaterials have tremendous potential in solid-liquid separation and can be applied to the coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation process of water treatment. In this work, inspired by the mineralization in nature, a graphene oxide/polymer-based hybrid coagulant/flocculant that precipitates large-scale, multicomponent (e.g., dyes, heavy metal ions, and nanoparticles) and complex pollutants simultaneously at room temperature by forming double-network hydrogel through bioinspired Ca2+ crosslinking, is developed for the purification of wastewater. The coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation method developed here also provides a novel strategy for the preparation of macroscopic assemblies of multicomponents that can be applied to various application fields.

Prediction of Recombination Spots Using Novel Hybrid Feature Extraction Method via Deep Learning Approach.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is the driving force of evolutionary development and an important source of genetic variation. The meiotic recombination does not take place randomly in a chromosome but occurs in some regions of the chromosome. A region in chromosomes with higher rate of meiotic recombination events are considered as hotspots and a region where frequencies of the recombination events are lower are called coldspots. Prediction of meiotic recombination spots provides useful information about the basic functionality of inheritance and genome diversity. This study proposes an intelligent computational predictor called iRSpots-DNN for the identification of recombination spots. The proposed predictor is based on a novel feature extraction method and an optimized deep neural network (DNN). The DNN was employed as a classification engine whereas, the novel features extraction method was developed to extract meaningful features for the identification of hotspots and coldspots across the yeast genome. Unlike previous algorithms, the proposed feature extraction avoids bias among different selected features and preserved the sequence discriminant properties along with the sequence-structure information simultaneously. This study also considered other effective classifiers named support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) to predict recombination spots. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset with 10-fold cross-validation showed that iRSpots-DNN achieved the highest accuracy, i.e., 95.81%. Additionally, the performance of the proposed iRSpots-DNN is significantly better than the existing predictors on a benchmark dataset. The relevant benchmark dataset and source code are freely available at: https://github.com/Fatima-Khan12/iRspot_DNN/tree/master/iRspot_DNN.
