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 (“dot”) morphology are known to ... -
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 a homopolymer with an ambient ... -
Molecular-level study of photoorientation in hydrogen-bonded azopolymer complexes
(American Chemical Society, 2018-01-25)To optimize azobenzene-containing materials for applications such as rewritable waveguides and holographic data storage, it is imperative to understand the effect of the azobenzene structure on the photoresponse of the material. Supramolecular ... -
Orientation and partial disentanglement in individual electrospun fibers : diameter dependence and correlation with mechanical properties
(American Chemical Society, 2015-06-29)Electrospun fibers are versatile materials that exhibit unusual and tunable properties when studied at the single fiber level, including an exponential increase in modulus with a decreasing diameter toward the nanoscale. Understanding the detailed ... -
Polarized raman analysis of polymer chain orientation in ultrafine individual nanofibers with variable low crystallinity
(American Chemical Society, 2018-10-26)Recent mechanical studies of ultrafine electrospun polymer nanofibers showed they can simultaneously possess high strength and toughness attributed to high degree of chain alignment coupled with low crystallinity. Quantitative analysis of macromolecular ...
