Self-assembly of micro- and nano-scale materials to form well-ordered structures promises new opportunities for developing miniaturized electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic devices. In this regard, several elegant ...

Functional nanomaterials have a broad range of potential uses in biomedical applications e.g. drugs, drug-delivery, tissue engineering, diagnostics. Synthetic, functionalized, biocompatible polymers can be effective ...

Nature builds proteins for structure, function and reactivity, which attests to the versatility of placing different chemical groups on the same polymer backbone. Following this same design paradigm, synthetic polypeptides ...

Generating micro-and nanosized patterns on solid surfaces is an important area of research with relevance in many scientific and technological areas. In our recent approach to generate complex interfaces, we have developed ...

Dielectric materials (i.e. insulators) provide critical functions throughout the packaging hierarchy, including on-chip dielectrics, package substrates, and printed wiring boards. Transient polymers, those which vaporize ...

Electrospinning is a valuable production method for nanoscale polymeric fibers. However, a major limitation of the technology is the requirement for the use of high molecular weight polymers as a major part of the matrix. ...

In this talk, inkjet-printed flexible antennas, RF electronics and sensors fabricated on paper and other polymer (e.g.LCP) substrates are introduced as a system-level solution for ultra-low-cost mass production of UHF Radio ...

Polymeric semiconductors are promising materials for the commercialization of large‐area, low‐cost and flexible electronics. Their electrical properties are extremely sensitive to structure at multiple length scales, and ...
