The development of nanotechnology using organic materials is one of the most intellectually
and commercially exciting stories of our times. Advances in synthetic chemistry and in …

We review some of the progress of single-molecule optical experiments in the past 20 years
and propose some perspectives for the coming years. We particularly focus on …

A fundamental and long-standing problem in polymer physics is to deduce the relationship
between the topology of a polymer and its dynamics. Generalized Gaussian structures …

Defocused wide-field fluorescence microscopy was used to follow the 3D molecular
rotational diffusion of a fluorescent probe molecule in a polymer thin film. The technique …

Based on Wiley's renowned Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, this book
provides coverage of key methods of characterization of the physical and chemical …

Bulk approaches to studying heterogeneous systems obscure important details, as they
report average behavior rather than the distribution of behaviors in such environments …

We quantify spatial and temporal heterogeneity in supercooled glycerol at T= T g+ 14 K
employing a widefield detection scheme and using rubrene as the probe molecule. We …

Recently developed all-organic emitters used in display applications achieve high
brightness by harvesting triplet populations via thermally activated delayed fluorescence …

We fabricated a series of glasses with the composition 94.7-χGeO_2-5Al_2O_3-0.3 Bi_2O_3-
χPbO (χ= 0-24mol.%). Characteristic absorption bands of bismuth centered at 500, 700, 800 …

The dynamic heterogeneity and the translation-rotation decoupling are the dynamic
signatures of glasses and supercooled liquids. Whether and how the dynamic heterogeneity …
