Recently, there has been tremendous progress in the field of nanodimensional conducting
polymers with the objective of tuning the intrinsic properties of the polymer and the potential …

Combinations of liquid crystals and materials with unique features as well as properties at
the nanoscale are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to recent developments, ie, since …

Visible-light-responsive photocatalysts can directly harvest energy from solar light, offering a
desirable way to solve energy and environment issues. Here, we show that one-dimensional …

Conjugated polymer nanostructures (CPNs) emerge as a new class of photocatalysts for
organic pollutant degradation under UV and visible light. Polyprrole (PPy), as a conjugated …

Bimetallic Pd− Au nanostructures were synthesized in the soft templates provided by
surfactant hexagonal mesophases. The nanostructures are constituted by a core rich in gold …

The development of visible-light responsive photocatalysts would permit more efficient use
of solar energy and thus would bring sustainable solutions to many environmental issues …

Conjugated polymer nanostructures have recently emerged as a new class of very active
photocatalysts under solar light. Poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) is one of the commonly …

Palladium nanowires (of length a few tens of nanometers) are synthesized in a hexagonal
mesophase formed by a quaternary system (Pd-doped water, surfactant, cosurfactant, and …

Introduction of biocide monomers during the process of polymerization is one of promising
approaches in the development of new permanent non leaching biocide materials. In this …

Liquid crystal (LCs) is the state of matter that exhibits properties between a conventional
liquid and solid crystals. Liquid crystals mainly can be classified into two types: thermotropic …
