Application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials

open access: yes, 2019
We demonstrate an application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials. Molecular ordering is explored on both nonchiral and chiral liquid crystals (LCs) in the bulk state and embedded into parallel-arrays of ...

Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.

A Highly Porous Nanofibrillar PEDOT:PSS Matrix for Beyond‐Surface Precious‐Metal Utilization and Volumetric Electrocatalysis

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Solvent‐assisted crystallization transforms PEDOT:PSS into a conductive nanoporous scaffold that enables volumetric incorporation and utilization of Pt nanoparticles. Unlike surface‐limited Pt only electrodes, the PP–Pt electrode allows ion penetration and bulk catalyst activation, improving precious‐metal utilization and sustaining electrocatalytic ...

Restructuring polymers via nanoconfinement and subsequent release

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012
During the past several years my students and I have been utilizing certain small-molecule hosts to create nanostructured polymers. This is accomplished by first forming noncovalently bonded inclusion complexes (ICs) between these small-molecule hosts ...

Interfacial Chemistry‐Tailored Silica&Metal‐Based Heterostructures: from Rational Design to Antibacterial Applications

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This review explores how interfacial engineering of silica&metal‐based nanohybrids enables precise architectural control, leveraging the structural and functional contributions of silica to overcome the inherent limitations of meta‐based materials. The antibacterial performance of these nanohybrids including membrane disruption, stimuli‐responsive ...

Entropy-driven enhanced self-diffusion in confined reentrant supernematics

open access: yes, 2010
We present a molecular dynamics study of reentrant nematic phases using the Gay-Berne-Kihara model of a liquid crystal in nanoconfinement. At densities above those characteristic of smectic A phases, reentrant nematic phases form that are characterized ...

Low‐Dimensional MOF Nanoarchitectonics: Progress in MOF‐2D Material Hybrid Architectures for Energy Conversion and Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 19, 1 April 2026.
This review highlights the integration of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and two‐dimensional (2D) materials through dimensional interface engineering. By addressing intrinsic limitations like poor conductivity and agglomeration, these hybrid architectures optimize interfacial charge and mass transport.

Achieving Ultra‐Stable Hydrogen Isotope Separation Over 5000 Cycles With a High‐Loading Pd/Al2O3 Composite

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study successfully prepared a high‐palladium (Pd)‐loading (51 wt%) Pd/Al2O3 composite through multiple wet impregnation. The material exhibited excellent hydrogen isotope separation performance, with metal–support interactions endowing it with a higher plateau pressure and lower desorption temperature.
