Polymer self-assembly has been realized, according to IBM. The company at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) today announced it has demonstrated a polymer molecules' self-assembly ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

A team of researchers from Tufts University in Medford, MA have put together a review article, which discusses recent developments in stimuli-responsive membranes with an emphasis on membranes ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have created an artificial polymer that self-organizes into a controlled helix, according to a study published ...

Self-assembled systems have potential to be applied in systems where it is desirable to gain fine control over properties, such as in responsive materials. Such systems make use of non-covalent ...

Asatekin lab focuses on new polymeric materials designed to self-assemble to impart improved and/or new functionality to separation membranes by controlling nano-scale morphology and surface ...

Ten years ago, when the industry was struggling to deliver EUV lithography, directed self-assembly (DSA) roared to the forefront of research and development for virtually every manufacturer determined ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...

Inventing a polymer isn’t a feat accomplished overnight. Or, in some cases, even in a decade. For GE Plastics (Pittsfield, MA; www.geplastics.com), it’s been nearly 20 years since the company last ...
