Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Accompanying Structural Transformations in Polarity Switching of Heavily Doped Conjugated Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The polarity switching of heavily doped p‐type conjugated polymers (CPs) toward environmentally stable electron‐rich thin films is demonstrated. Multiscale analyses, incorporating spectroscopic, electrochemical, and scattering techniques, reveal structural and chemical transformations induced by excessive doping with AuCl3.

How Real‐Time Kinetics Explain the Different Interaction of Cubosomes and Hexosomes Nanoparticles with Lipid Membranes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
GMO cubosomes and DOPE hexosomes interact differently with lipid membranes: cubosomes exchange lipid molecules with the membranes, destabilizing them when the membranes do not contain cholesterol. Hexosomes interact more gently with membranes and tend to fuse and incorporate into them.
