Nanocomposites, multiphase solid materials with at least one nanoscaled component, have
been attracting ever‐increasing attention because of their unique properties. Graphene is an …

Electrically-conducting polymers (CPs) were first developed as a revolutionary class of
organic compounds that possess optical and electrical properties comparable to that of …

Real-time monitoring of strain/stress in polymers is a big challenge to date. Herein, we for
the first time report an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer)-based …

MXenes, a member of 2D inorganic compounds that contain few‐atom‐thick layers of
transition metal carbides, nitrides, and polar surface functional groups, are extraordinary …

Graphene is a unique and attractive energy material because of its atom-thick two-
dimensional structure and excellent properties. Graphene sheets are also mechanically …

Carbon based nanomaterials, including one-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and two-
dimensional graphene, have attracted great research interests in recent years for various …

One of the main issues in the production of polymer nanocomposites is the dispersion state
of filler as multilayered graphene (MLG) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tend to agglomerate …

Biomimetic microsystems, which can be driven by various stimuli, are an emerging field in
micro/nano‐technology and nano‐medicine. In this study, a soft and fast‐response robotic …

Organic molecules can transform photons into Angstrom‐scale motions by undergoing
photochemical reactions. Ordered media, for example, liquid crystals or molecular crystals …

Programmable photoactuation enabled by graphene: Graphene sheets aligned in liquid
crystalline elastomers are capable of absorbing near-infrared light. They thereafter act as …
