NTUCHE

All laboratories are equipped with specialized instruments in their own research fields. In addition, the Department consolidates the relevant equipment in two centralized laboratories: the Instrumental Analysis Laboratory and the Particulate Technology Laboratory. These two laboratories provide services to all our faculty members and students for their research and/or teaching needs. For the purpose of developing education and research of particulate techniques, the Particulate Technology Laboratory also offers related courses every semester, and some symposiums and seminars are hosted regularly or irregularly. Besides, the Particulate Technology Laboratory also accepts industrial membership to coordinate the industry with the academics and to get support from the enterprises.

Particulate Technology Laboratory


The laboratory is equipped with the most completely set of devices for measurements of various properties of particulates and nanomaterials, including particle size distribution, specific volume, porosity, zeta-potential, particulate density, and transport properties. The lab is managed by professional technicians and provides services such as technical training, consulting, and sample analysis.

Instrumental Analysis Laboratory

This laboratory consolidates relevant equipment for thermal analysis, chemical analysis, material characterization and analysis, and fluid properties analysis. Thermal Analysis: Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), TD-DTA-DSC-Mass Spectroscopy, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA); Chemical Analysis: UV- Visible Spectrophotometer, Atomic Analyzer (AA), Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Ion Chromatography (IC), Ultra Centrifuge; Materials Characterization and Analysis :Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy- Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy(EDS), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR), Polarized Optical Microscopy, Optical Microscopy, X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD), X-Ray Fluoresence Film-Thickness Analyzer, Ellipsometer, Electrospectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (XPS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM); Fluid Properties Analysis: Viscometer, Laser Doppler Anemometer, Rheometer, Surface Tensiometer.Furthermore, many softwares such as Aspen Plus, ChemCad, Fluent, and FIDAP are used for the teaching and research purposes.
X-ray diffractometer
	The equipment allows for determination of the crystallographic structure of powders, thin-films, and analysis of residual stress. With a maximum voltage 60kV and maximum current 50mA, the X-ray diffractometer can provide small angle diffraction data with temperature controll.

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer

	SEM provides the image (upto 100000 time magnification) of surfaces and three dimensional structures of bio or nonbio samples. EDS provides qualitative and semi-quantitative information on the chemical composition in microstructures. It also provides the full energy spectrum, mapping and line profile for elements whose atom number is greater than 5.

Other public facilities

Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA):

	The ESCA provides quantitative information on the chemical composition of surfaces or thin films. This machine is equipped with a high energy X-ray source ( Al Kα(1486.6eV) or Mg Kα(1253.6eV) ) and 9 detectors in the CLAM4MCD electron Analyzer.

Unit Operation Laboratory

	The experimental setups in this lab provide the students opportunity for practicing the chemical engineering principles learned in class. The figure shows a fully automated and computerized boiling device, allowing the students for observing the boiling phenomena and understanding its mechanism.

Computer Classroom

	The PC classroom has provided CHE members a convenient environment for study, teaching, and research. .
