Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been extensively used during the last two decades,
either as effective bio-imaging contrast agents or as carriers of biomolecules such as drugs …

Solar energy is a clean and sustainable energy source. Natural photosynthesis has existed
for millions of years, which can convert solar energy into chemical energy needed by living …

The glass transition temperature (T g) is a key property that dictates the applicability of
conjugated polymers. The T g demarks the transition into a brittle glassy state, making its …

Thermal conductivity is an important property for polymers, as it often affects product
reliability (for example, electronics packaging), functionality (for example, thermal interface …

Crystalline solids dominate the field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with access to the
liquid and glass states of matter usually prohibited by relatively low temperatures of thermal …

To date, only several microporous, and even fewer nanoporous, glasses have been
produced, always via post synthesis acid treatment of phase separated dense materials, eg …

Comb and bottlebrush polymers present a wide range of rheological and mechanical
properties that can be controlled through their molecular characteristics, such as the …

The use of polymer electrolytes instead of liquid organic systems is considered key for
enhancing the safety of lithium batteries and may, in addition, enable the transition to high …

To develop structure–property relationships for cross-linked thermosetting polymers, it is
crucial to better understand key factors that control their segmental dynamics and …

Demand for hot water treatment has opened up broad new areas of research for fabricating
thermally stable polymer membranes. In multiple industrial applications, the contaminated …
