Metal–ligand interactions and salt bridges as sacrificial bonds in mussel byssus-derived materials
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-02)
The byssus that anchors mussels to solid surfaces is a protein-based material combining strength and toughness as well as a self-healing ability. These exceptional mechanical properties are explained in part by the presence ...
Influence of supramolecular interaction type on photoresponsive azopolymer complexes : a surface relief grating formation study
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06-24)
The influence of the supramolecular interaction type—hydrogen bonding, proton transfer, and pure ionic bonding—on photoresponsive behavior, particularly surface relief grating (SRG) inscription, has been investigated using ...
Photoactive/passive molecular glass blends : an efficient strategy to optimize azomaterials for surface relief grating inscription
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12-15)
: Irradiation of azomaterials causes various photophysical and photomechanical effects that can be exploited
for the preparation of functional materials such as surface relief gratings (SRGs). Herein, we develop and apply ...
Raman spectroscopy of individual poly(ethylene oxide) electrospun fibers : effect of the collector on molecular orientation
(Elsevier, 2016-09-06)
Electrospun fibers are complex polymeric materials with a typical diameter of a few
hundred nanometers that are often frozen in out-of-equilibrium states due to the fast solvent
evaporation and high elongational forces ...
Bridging the gap between the mesoscopic 2D order–order transition and molecular-level reorganization in dot-patterned block copolymer monolayers
(American Chemical Society, 2016-11-21)
Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of amphiphilic block copolymers (BCs) form well-defined nanostructures with long-range order useful, for instance, for nanolithography applications. Nanostructures with a 2D circular micelle ...
Separation, detection and characterization of nanomaterials in municipal wastewaters using hydrodynamic chromatography coupled to ICPMS and single particle ICPMS
(Springer, 2016-03-12)
Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products and reaching the environment at a growing rate. Unfortunately, few analytical techniques are available that allow the detection of ...
