PURPOSE: Quantify initial setup accuracy and intra-fraction motion using stereotactic body frames (SBF) for spine SBRT.METHODS: 10 patients (11 sites, 31 fractions) treated with spine SBRT using SBF immobilization were evaluated for initial setup accuracy and intra-fraction motion. Either...

The generation of polymeric nano-bowls through 3D confined assembly and disassembly.

Soft matter

Xu J, Wu Y, Wang K, Shen L, Xie X, Zhu J.
PMID: 27063504
Soft Matter. 2016 Apr 20;12(16):3683-7. doi: 10.1039/c5sm03071d.

Here we present a facile yet robust strategy to prepare polymer nano-bowls through 3D confined assembly and disassembly of block copolymers. Unlike the previously reported methods, this strategy allows for generation of nano-bowls with precisely controllable opening degree and...

Crumpled Nitrogen-Doped Graphene for Supercapacitors with High Gravimetric and Volumetric Performances.

ACS applied materials & interfaces

Wang J, Ding B, Xu Y, Shen L, Dou H, Zhang X.
PMID: 26399912
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2015 Oct 14;7(40):22284-91. doi: 10.1021/acsami.5b05428. Epub 2015 Oct 02.

Graphene is considered a promising electrochemical capacitors electrode material due to its high surface area and high electrical conductivity. However, restacking interactions between graphene nanosheets significantly decrease the ion-accessible surface area and impede electronic and ionic transfer. This would,...
