Nanoconfinement and the Strength of Biopolymers
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2013This review examines size effects observed in the mechanical strength of biopolymers that are organized in microstructures such as fibrils, layered composites, or particle nanocomposites. We review the most important aspects that connect nanoconfinement of basic material constituents at critical length scales to the mechanical performance of the ...

Superpermittivity of nanoconfined water
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015Nowadays, it is well established that the physical properties of confined liquids strongly differ from those in bulk phase. While dynamical and structural properties were strongly explored, dielectric properties are poorly studied despite their importance in the understanding and the modelling of molecular mechanism in a number of nano-applications ...

Chemical Reviews, 2016
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have been hampered by their liquid state. The confinement of ILs into nanoporous hosts is a simple but versatile strategy to overcome this problem. Nanoconfined ILs constitute a

Nanoconfinement-mediated cancer theranostics
Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2020Despite various therapeutic or diagnostic developments, cancer is still one of the most lethal diseases due to insufficiently adequate treatments and the delay of the early stage of disease detection. An image-guided drug delivery system (IGDDS), as a real-time noninvasive imaging assessment of therapeutic response, has the strong potential to improve ...

Chemical reactivity under nanoconfinement
Nature Nanotechnology, 2020Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties. Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins of life, and life continues to rely on layers of compartmentalization to maintain an out-of-equilibrium state and efficiently synthesize complex biomolecules under mild conditions.

A Reversible Nanoconfined Chemical Reaction
ACS Nano, 2010Hydrogen is recognized as a potential, extremely interesting energy carrier system, which can facilitate efficient utilization of unevenly distributed renewable energy. A major challenge in a future "hydrogen economy" is the development of a safe, compact, robust, and efficient means of hydrogen storage, in particular, for mobile applications.

Interionic Interactions in Conducting Nanoconfinement
ChemPhysChem, 2013AbstractInterionic interactions in conducting nanopores determine how counterions may be packed in the pores subject to the applied voltage. In ideal metals, interactions are exponentially screened by metallic electrons. However, modern nanoporous electrodes are predominantly made of carbon materials.
