Fabrication of Silicon Nanopillars for SERS
A simple two step process was developed to fabricate substrates with flexible free standing nanopillars which exhibit a large and uniform
Raman enhancement.
A 3D Metamaterial: Nanostructuring with Polymers
Scientists have fabricated a 3D metamaterial, which shows linear and circular dichroism, using a self-assembled block copolymer as a template.
Functional Sugar-based Polyurethanes
Multifunctional polyurethanes are prepared by the thiolene reaction to L-arabinitol-based PUs with multiple pendant O-allyl groups.
DNA-Inspired Polymer Design
Tim Long and co-workers provide a broad overview of established and ongoing work in the area of DNA nucleobase-modified polymer synthesis.
Synthesizing Carbazole Oligomers
New carbazole oligomers for optoelectronics and polymer solar cells have been synthesized by modular chemistry.
Novel Gold-Nanoparticle-Based Assay for Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease
A novel AuNP-based assay highly sensitive to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) may detect a risk or a preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
