Researchers at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have created an artificial polymer that self-organizes into a controllable helix, according to a study ...

Functional materials can be created with rational self-assembly of building blocks over a broad range of length scales, from small molecules and polymers to nanoparticles and nanowires. Northwestern ...

They achieved this by blending two conjugated polymers in a solution and allowing them to self-assemble. Self-assembly ...

Self-assembly of complex and functional materials into large, but finite-size, superstructures remains a grand challenge in soft materials science. Living systems routinely achieve size-controlled ...

When the constitutive components are molecules, the process is termed molecular self-assembly. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) bearing densely grafted polymer brushes of different molecular weights ...

helical self-assembly of organic semiconductors, LC-directed superlattices of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles for photonic and metamaterials, nano-confined LCs highly conducting polymer ...

Details of the work recently appeared in Nature Communications, in a paper titled, “Developmental assembly of multi ... distinct populations of self-assembling polymers using a transcriptional ...

He will also present a simple two-step polymerization process based on polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) that is able to generate aqueous suspensions of CKA-containing vinyl copolymer ...
