The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to
know, as this is where the world's largest, most damaging tsunamis are generated. Our …

We report the preparation of a series of fiber-like micelles of narrow length distribution with
an oligo (p-phenylenevinylene)(OPV)-core and a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) …

In this article, we consolidate several literature reports in an attempt to provide a structural
definition of a polymer brush as a tethered polymer layer with a high grafting density of …

The fabrication of monodisperse nanostructures of highly controlled size and morphology
with spatially distinct functional regions is a current area of high interest in materials science …

The creation of shaped, uniform and colloidally stable two-dimensional (2D) assemblies by
