Toughening epoxy resins with soluble hyperbranched poly (aryl ether ketone): enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability

Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science
The limited toughness of epoxy resins (EP) significantly hinders their application. While hyperbranched polymers are commonly employed as toughening agents, their poor solubility often leads to drawbacks, including a marked reduction in glass transition ...

Beyond Silicon: Toward Sustainable, NIR‐II, and Conformable Organic Photodiodes

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
In this perspective, a strategic shift in organic photodetector (OPD) research is proposed: instead of the incremental advances in silicon's stronghold arena, the most impactful future for OPDs lies in addressing silicon's intrinsic limitations, i.e., detection in the longer wavelength range above silicon's coverage (>1100 nm, termed as near infrared ...
