Polyurethanes are industrially and academically important as soft materials. They are
conventionally synthesized by a process based on step-growth polymerization; thus …

The SIRIUS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL is dedicated to X-ray scattering and
spectroscopy of surfaces and interfaces, covering the tender to mid-hard X-ray range (1.1 …

Synthesizing anisotropic polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) with well-defined shapes,
dimensions, and molecular orientations is a very challenging task. Herein, we report the …

Homopolymer self-assembly has attracted much attention in polymer science and soft
nanomaterials due to the fuzzy boundary between hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties of …

The synthesis of anisotropic colloidal building blocks is essential for their self‐assembly into
hierarchical materials. Here, a highly efficient stabilizer‐assisted liquid‐crystallization‐driven …

Here, we report charge-transfer-driven self-assembly of conjugated block copolymers (BCP)
into highly doped conjugated polymer nanofibers. The ground-state integer charge transfer …

Bottlebrush polymers are complex architectures with densely grafted polymer side chains
along polymeric backbones. The dense and conformationally extended chains in …

Scientists around the world have been utilising synchrotron radiation as a major tool to
answer scientific questions related to fundamental and applied research. The 4th generation …

Supramolecular assembly of helical homopolymers to form stable chiral entities in water is
highly valuable for creating chiral nanostructures and fabricating chiral biomaterials. Here …
