Huang, Xiayun (2014-08-19)Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films are typically made of two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes held together by electrostatic interactions. PEM films embedded with guest species, that is with foreign small molecules ...

Leamer, Lauren Anne (2013-05-06)The fluoride anion plays an important role in dental health and as a result is added to drinking water at low concentrations. If the concentration of fluoride is too high however, skeletal fluorosis can occur. Because of ...

Xia, Ning (2013-04-26)As an important type of organic semiconductors, organic small molecule crystals have great potential for low-cost applications such as plastic solar cells (PSC), organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic field-effect ...

Ivanova, Nina (2012-02-14)Patchy particles are patterned particles with at least one well-defined patch that can have highly directional and strongly anisotropic interactions with other particles or surfaces. Multiple theoretical studies point to ...

Huang, Hsiu-Chin (2014-08-14)Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly technique is a powerful approach to blend two or more materials to form new materials of thin films on any type of substrate, and the LbL film is called polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). The ...

Sung, Choonghyun (2014-10-13)Thermal transitions in layer-by-layer (LbL) assemblies were investigated under dry and hydrated conditions. In the dry state, the effects of film thickness and the film deposition method on the glass transition temperature ...
