A novel class of amphiphilic dendronized homopolymers has been reported by The Department of Polymer Materials, Shanghai University. By tuning the structures, these polymers can show thermoresponsive ...

Amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) represent a versatile class of materials that integrate hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments into a single, crosslinked structure. This dual nature imbues APCNs ...

Researchers have used tip-scan high-speed atomic force microscopy combined with an optical microscope to observe light-induced deformation of azo-polymer films. The process could be followed in real ...

Expanding our understanding of a particular process, material, or mechanism usually requires taking a close look at what is going on. Researchers in Japan have now observed the nanoscale behavior of ...

(Nanowerk News) Expanding our scientific understanding often comes down to getting as close a look as possible at what is happening. Now researchers from Japan have observed the nanoscale behavior of ...

Researchers from Osaka University combine high-speed atomic force microscopy with a laser light source for real-time observation of azo-polymer films Osaka, Japan – Expanding our scientific ...
