Pentacene–Bridge Interactions in an Axially Chiral Binaphthyl Pentacene Dimer
Published 2021Molecular chirality can be exploited as a sensitive reporter of the nature of intra-and inter-chromophore interactions in π-conjugated systems. In this report, we design an intramolecular singlet fission (iSF) based pentacene ...Open AccessArticle -
Strong coupling and energy funnelling in an electrically conductive organic blend
Published 2020Strong coupling between an exciton and a cavity photon mode offers the promise of lower lasing thresholds, which has attracted interest in organic systems working toward electrical injected lasing. However, current organic ...Open AccessArticle -
Loop to Linear: Exploring the Impact of Corona Topology on the Properties of Self-Assembled Polymer Nanoparticles
Published 2024Macromolecular architecture plays a pivotal role in endowing distinct properties to polymer nanomaterials. We introduce a synthesis approach to produce cyclic polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) block copolymers featuring ...Open AccessArticle -
Nanoscale Polymer Discs, Toroids and Platelets: a Survey of Their Syntheses and Potential Applications
Published 2024Polymer self-assembly has become a reliable and versatile workhorse to produce polymeric nanomaterials. With appropriate polymer design and monomer selection, polymers can assemble into shapes and morphologies beyond ...Open AccessArticle -
Tunable Polymer Nanoreactors from RAFT Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly: Fabrication of Nanostructured Carbon-Coated Anatase as Battery Anode Materials with Variable Morphology and Porosity
Published 2023We demonstrate a modular synthesis approach to yield mesoporous carbon-coated anatase (denoted as TiO2/C) nanostructures. Combining polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and reversible addition–fragmentation ...Open AccessArticle
