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 ...

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

Motivated by elegant biological helical structures, considerable effort has been devoted to developing artificial helical ...

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 ...

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 ...

The assembly of nanoparticles in polymer films is driven by a complex ... to access with the application of such approaches. Here, self-organization processes induced by the driving forces of ...

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

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 ...
