Professor Jun Young Kim's research lab specializes in advanced nanomaterials and their applications in environmental monitoring, polymer nanocomposites, and energy-related technologies. The lab focuses on developing innovative nanofabrication techniques—such as 3D-plasmonic nanoarchitectures for microplastic detection and confined layer-by-layer assembly in nanochannels—to address challenges in sustainability and materials performance. Key research directions include enhancing interfacial interactions in carbon nanotube-reinforced polymers, improving the efficiency of fusion energy systems through fast-ion transport modeling, and creating functional coatings for next-generation devices.

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are present not only in the environment but also in drinking water, food, and consumer products. These MPs being toxic, carcinogenic, endocrine disrupting, and genetic risk creators cause several diseases. Despite various approaches, the development of onsite applicable, facile, and quick MP detection methods is still challenging. Here, 3D‐plasmonic gold nanopocket (3D‐PGNP) nanoarchitecture is formed on a paper substrate for simultaneous MP filtration and detection.
This paper focuses on the fabrication via simple melt blending of thermotropic liquid crystal polyester (TLCP) nanocomposites reinforced with a very small quantity of modified carbon nanotube (CNT) and the unique effects of the modified CNT on the physical properties of the nanocomposites. The thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties of modified CNT-reinforced TLCP nanocomposites are highly dependent on the uniform dispersion of CNT and the interactions between the CNT and TLCP, which can
Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites reinforced with a very small quantity of modified carbon nanotube (CNT) were prepared by melt compounding using a twin‐screw extruder. The introduction of carboxylic acid groups on the surfaces of the nanotube leads to the enhanced interactions between the nanotube and the polymer matrix through hydrogen bonding formation. The thermal stability, mechanical, and rheological properties of the PET nanocomposites are strongly dependent on th
