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 is the process by which an organized ... the authors introduce the bulk-heavy boundary correspondence to pattern TBM in polymers and supramolecular assemblies under thermal fluctuations.

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 ...

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

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 ...
