Cylindrical fibers that are tens of micrometers long and∼ 100 nm across are synthesized
from a diblock copolymer (see figure). The determination of their persistence length and …

Integrating inorganic and polymerized organic functionalities to create composite materials
presents an efficient strategy for the discovery and fabrication of multifunctional materials …

Vegetable oils are an attractive source for polymers due to their low cost, abundance,
annual renewability, and ease of functionalization. Stearyl and lauryl acrylate, derived from …

Wood and other cellulosic materials are highly sensitive to changes in moisture content,
which affects their use in most applications. We investigated the effects of moisture changes …

X-ray scattering methods allow efficient characterization of cellulosic materials, but
interpreting their results is challenging. By creating molecular dynamics models of cellulose …
