MaterialsViews Interviews: Andrey Rogach
We speak to Andrey Rogach, nanocrystal expert and Professor at the Physics and Materials Science Department, City University of Hong Kong.
Nanostructured, Functional and for Commercial Use
The sample size of nanomaterials with functional properties has been limited to just a few millimeters. This fact has limited their commercial use, so far.
Crystalline Control
The subtleties of polymer crystallization enable easier low-temperature processing and control of properties.
