Self-assembly of thioether-based diblock copolymers: a comparative study of linear and bottlebrush architectures
Published 2025Amphiphilic diblock copolymers are widely studied for their ability to self-assemble into diverse nanostructures for various applications. Linear-linear diblock copolymers and linear-bottlebrush diblock copolymers exhibit ...Open AccessArticle -
Developing Frameworks for Nanotechnology driven DNA-Free Plant Gene-Editing
Published 2025The bottlenecks of conventional plant gene-editing methods gave an innovative rise to nanotechnology as a delivery tool to manipulate gene(s) of interest. Studies suggest a strong correlation between the physicochemical ...Open AccessArticle -
Self-Assembly of Bottlebrush-Linear, Rod–Coil Copolymers into Discoidal Nanoparticles
Published 2025Block copolymers can self-assemble into nanoscale objects with various morphologies, offering custom nanomaterials for diverse fields of application. However, achieving an amorphous 2D morphology through self-assembly in ...Open AccessArticle -
Unimolecular thermometers: core–shell polymer bottlebrushes with solvatochromic responses to temperature
Published 2025Core–shell molecular polymer bottlebrushes (MPBs) were designed with a thermoresponsive poly(DEGMA) core and stabilising poly(PEGMA) shell. Solvatochromic fluorophores embedded in the core report polarity changes as it ...Open AccessArticle -
Engineered Crystal Systems for Erbium Quantum Hardware
Published 2026Rare-earth ions in solid-state hosts are a compelling hardware platform for quantum networking due to their exceptional optical, and long-lived spin transitions. Erbium's transitions couple to photons in the Telecom-C ...Open AccessThesis
