Michael Bojdys introduces a new class of two-dimensional polymeric materials for semiconductors.
Direct insertion of nanowires into living algal cells
The direct insertion of nanowires into living algal cells using inkjet printing technology is demonstrated.
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...

A Unified View of Dynamic Interfaces
Researchers from the University of Akron provide an early picture of a unified understanding of dynamic interfaces in nanostructured polymeric materials.
Inkjet Printed Polyimide Films for Capacitors
Fan Zhang, Christopher Tuck, Richard Hague, Yinfeng He, Ehab Saleh, You Li, Craig Sturgess and Ricky Wildman present the first continuous fabrication of inkjet-printed polyimide films in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. The films were then used as insulating...
Paper call: Special Issue, Journal of Applied Polymer Science

Unusual Emitting Nanocomposites
Researchers have recently used blue-light emitting quantum dots (QDs) and stilbene units to prepare nanocomposites with unusual fluorescence behavior.
Nitrogen Doping of Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites
Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada and Washington State University Tri-Cities in the US manipulated the structure of CNTs by introducing nitrogen between carbon atoms in CNTs, and succeeded in improving the charge storage capacity of CNT/polymer nanocomposites.
