By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

Our research program in LC-based, nanostructured polymers is divided into three main areas. The first area is the development of polymerizable lyotropic LCs for the construction of functional, ...

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail.

A groundbreaking 2D polymer could give a new meaning to body armor and ballistic fabrics with its unbeatable strength and flexibility.

In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) ...
