Self-healing is the capability of a material to recover from physical damage. Both physical
and chemical approaches have been used to construct self-healing polymers. These include …

Graphene-based materials are single-or few-layer platelets that can be produced in bulk
quantities by chemical methods. Herein, we present a survey of the literature on polymer …

Drugs with low water solubility are predisposed to low and variable oral bioavailability and,
therefore, to variability in clinical response. Despite significant efforts to “design in” …

Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) is an electron transfer process that occurs
upon photoexcitation in molecules that usually consist of a donor and acceptor part linked by …

The field of polymer nanocomposites has been at the forefront of research in the polymer
community for the past few decades. Foundational work published in Macromolecules …

The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to a polymer matrix, forming a polymer nanocomposite
(PNC), is known to alter the microscopic dynamic processes of both species which leads to …

Synthetic materials capable of responses to external or internal stimuli represent one of the
most exciting and emerging areas of scientific interest and unexplored commercial …

A unified picture of different application areas for incipient metals is presented. This
unconventional material class includes several main‐group chalcogenides, such as GeTe …

Self-healing materials are notable for their ability to recover from physical or chemical
damage. We report that commodity copolymers, such as poly (methyl methacrylate)/n-butyl …

The lightweight and high-strength functional nanocomposites are important in many
practical applications. Natural biomaterials with excellent mechanical properties provide …
