Polypept(o)ides: hybrid materials with promising applications in nanomedicine
Matthias Barz and Kristina Klinker provide a first overview concerning the work on polypept(o)ides.
How to find the “optimal” molecular weight for photovoltaic polymers
Bringing together recently published studies, trends are displayed how the molecular weight of conjugated polymers influences the photovoltaic performance.
Heatproof roof can cool your house for free
Researchers at the University of Technology in Sydney have developed a new material that can keep roofs cooler than the air above them, even in direct sunlight.
Understanding higher-ordered structures in polypeptides
Japanese researchers successfully control the higher-ordered structure of an electrostatic assembly prepared from oppositely charged polypeptides.
PECH: A New Photoinitiator for Free Radical Polymerization under UV Light
Researchers from Turkey developed a new photoinitiator: phenacyl ethyl carbazolium hexafluoroantimonate for free radical polymerization under UV light.
Towards Hybrid Materials: Group Transfer Polymerization of Alkoxysilane Monomers
Functional star polymers of alkoxysilane containing monomers are produced via GTM and later crosslinked to produce hybrid gels in a one-pot synthesis.
Challenging the classical viewpoint: NIR photoluminescence in divalent manganese
Tailoring near-infrared photoluminescence through activator aggregation and super-exchange between manganese ions in a perovskite lattice is presented.
Easy phase transitions spur high piezoelectric responses
First-principles calculations reveal a flat energy landscape between the coexisting polymorphs in strained BiFeO3 thin films, which may lead to enhanced piezoelectric response.
A new concept for quasi-superlattice-based transistors
Researchers present a new concept for solution-processed low-dimensional metal oxide quasi-superlattice-based transistors with dramatically enhanced electron mobilities.
