Scalable Synthesis of Hierarchical Antimony/Carbon Micro-/Nanohybrid Lithium/Sodium-Ion Battery Anodes Based on Dimethacrylate Monomer

A facile scalable synthesis of hierarchical Sb/C micro-/nanohybrid has been addressed in this work, which possesses the advantages of both micrometer and nanometer scale structures as lithium-ion battery anode. Difunctional methacrylate monomers are used as solvent and carbon source as well. Liquid precursor of antimony(III) n-butoxide is dissolved in the…

Expanded Kinetic Control for Persistent Micelle Templates with Solvent Selection

Sarkar, Amrita; Evans, Laurel; Stefik, Morgan

The precision control of nanoscale materials remains a challenge for the study of nanostructure–performance relationships. Persistent micelle templates (PMT) are a kinetic-controlled self-assembly approach that decouples pore and wall control. Here, block copolymer surfactants form persistent micelles that maintain constant template size as material precursors are added, despite the shifting…

Tuning the mechanical properties of alginate–peptide hydrogels

Ochbaum, Guy; Davidovich-Pinhas, Maya; Bitton, Ronit

Alginate, a polysaccharide that gels in the presence of divalent ions, has been used in the field of regenerative medicine to facilitate cell growth in impaired tissues by providing an artificial bio-surrounding similar to the natural extra cellular matrix (ECM). Here, we present a systematic investigation of the effect of…

Chiral Transmission to Cationic Polycobaltocenes over Multiple Length Scales Using Anionic Surfactants

Musgrave, Rebecca A.; Choi, Paul; Harniman, Robert L.; Richardson, Robert M.; Shen, Chengshuo; Whittell, George R.; Crassous, Jeanne; Qiu, Huibin; Manners, Ian

Chiral polymers are ubiquitous in nature, and the self-assembly of chiral materials is a field of widespread interest. In this paper, we describe the formation of chiral metallopolymers based on poly(cobaltoceniumethylene) (n+), which have been prepared through oxidation of poly(cobaltocenylethylene) (PCE) in the presence of enantiopure N-acyl-amino-acid-derived anionic surfactants, such…

Onset of Osmotic Swelling in Highly Charged Clay Minerals

Daab, Matthias; Eichstaedt, Natalie J.; Habel, Christoph; Rosenfeldt, Sabine; Kalo, Hussein; Schießling, Hubert; Förster, Stephan; Breu, Josef

Delamination by osmotic swelling of layered materials is generally thought to become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, with increasing layer charge density because of strong Coulomb interactions. Nevertheless, for the class of 2:1 layered silicates, very few examples of delaminating organo-vermiculites were reported in literature. We propose a mechanism for…

Deciphering magnesium stearate thermotropic behavior

Haware, Rahul V.; Vinjamuri, Bhavani Prasad; Sarkar, Amrita; Stefik, Morgan; Stagner, William C.

Magnesium stearate (MgSt) is the most commonly used excipient for oral solid dosage forms, yet there is significant commercial physicochemical variability that can lead to variable performance of critical product attributes. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is often used as a quality control tool to characterize MgSt, but little data is…

Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are important materials that are widely used in many current technologies and potentially have broader applications in the future due to their excellent property tunability, light weight, and low cost. However, expanding the limits in property enhancement remains a fundamental scientific challenge. Here, we demonstrate that well-dispersed,…

Strong Ligand–Block Copolymer Interactions for Incorporation of Relatively Large Nanoparticles in Ordered Composites

Gai, Yue; Lin, Ying; Song, Dong-Po; Yavitt, Benjamin M.; Watkins, James J.

For well-ordered block copolymer (BCP) nanocomposites containing nanoparticles (NPs), the ratio of NP core diameter (dcore) and BCP domain width (L) has been generally limited with dcore/L < 0.3 when NP/BCP interactions are relatively neutral or weak. Here, we systematically investigate the spatial distribution of gold nanoparticles (NP) ranging in…
