The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Taking a cue from chemistry that’s common in the pharmaceutical industry, chemists have used chiral anions to control stereochemistry when making poly(vinyl ethers ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...
