Programmed Self-Assembly of Hierarchical Nanostructures through Proteinโ€“Nanoparticle Coengineering

Mout, Rubul; Yesilbag Tonga, Gulen; Wang, Li-Sheng; Ray, Moumita; Roy, Trinava; Rotello, Vincent M.

Hierarchical organization of macromolecules through self-assembly is a prominent feature in biological systems. Synthetic fabrication of such structures provides materials with emergent functions. Here, we report the fabrication of self-assembled superstructures through coengineering of recombinant proteins and nanoparticles. These structures feature a highly sophisticated level of multilayeredโ€ฆ

Inverting substitution patterns on amphiphilic cyclodextrins induces unprecedented formation of hexagonal columnar superstructures

Champagne, Pier-Luc; Ester, David; Zeeman, Michael; Zellman, Carson; Williams, Vance E.; Ling, Chang-Chun

Cyclodextrins (CDs) constitute a unique class of macrocycles that possess a truncated cone-shaped cavity. Chemical modifications with simple hydrophobic groups can generate amphiphilic derivatives capable of self-assembling into thermotropic liquid crystals. Without the help of introduced mesogenic functionalities, almost all known amphiphilic CDs form smectic mesophases. Here we report thatโ€ฆ

Identifying anisotropy in seemingly random CNT networks using terahertz techniques

Bรขrsan, Oana A.; He, Guoqiang; Alkorre, Hameda; Stiens, Johan; de With, Gijsbertus

Characterizing and understanding carbon nanotube (CNT)-based polymer composites plays a crucial role for the ability to customize their properties. The (an)isotropy of CNT networks inside a composite can have significant effects on the final material's properties. However, characterizing the (an)isotropy of seemingly random CNT networks can be difficult using standardโ€ฆ

Two-Step Delamination of Highly Charged, Vermiculite-like Layered Silicates via Ordered Heterostructures

Daab, Matthias; Rosenfeldt, Sabine; Kalo, Hussein; Stรถter, Matthias; Bojer, Beate; Siegel, Renรฉe; Fรถrster, Stephan; Senker, Jรผrgen; Breu, Josef

Because of strong Coulomb interactions, the delamination of charged layered materials becomes progressively more difficult with increasing charge density. For instance, highly charged sodium fluorohectorite (Na0.6Mg2.4Li0.6Si4O10F2, Na-Hec) cannot be delaminated directly by osmotic swelling in water because its layer charge exceeds the established limit for osmotic swelling of 0.55 perโ€ฆ
High Energy Density in Azobenzene-based Materials for Photo-Thermal Batteries via Controlled Polymer Architecture and Polymer-Solvent Interactions

High Energy Density in Azobenzene-based Materials for Photo-Thermal Batteries via Controlled Polymer Architecture and Polymer-Solvent Interactions

Jeong, Seung Pyo; Renna, Lawrence A.; Boyle, Connor J.; Kwak, Hyunwook S.; Harder, Edward; Damm, Wolfgang; Venkataraman, Dhandapani

Energy densities of ~510โ€‰J/g (max: 698โ€‰J/g) have been achieved in azobenzene-based syndiotactic-rich poly(methacrylate) polymers. The processing solvent and polymer-solvent interactions are important to achieve morphologically optimal structures for high-energy density materials. This work shows that morphological changes of solid-state syndiotactic polymers, driven by different solventโ€ฆ

Structure formation in nanophase-separated systems with lamellar morphology: Comb-like vs. linear precision polymers

Danke, Varun; Gupta, Gaurav; Reimann, Sophie; Binder, Wolfgang H.; Beiner, Mario

We report findings of a comparative study of a comb-like polymer, poly(1,4-phenylene-2,5-n-didecyloxy terephthalate) and a linear chain precision polymer consisting of a methyl protected 2,6-diaminopyridine group after every 20th methylene unit of a linear saturated polyethylene chain . Both polymers exhibit lamellar morphologies related to a nanophase separation of theโ€ฆ

Effect of Nanodiamond (ND) Surface Functionalization on the Properties of ND/PEEK Composites

Wahab, Z.; Marsh, Z. M.; Tessema, A.; Kidane, A.; Stefik, M.; Anneaux, B. L.; Ploehn, H. J.

This paper explores the effect of nanodiamond (ND) surface chemistry on the structure and properties of composites of ND melt-blended with poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK). ND functionalized with phenylphosphonate (PPA) resulted in ND/PEEK composites with improved filler dispersion based on visual observations and surface topography measurements. As-received oxidized ND (OND) reduces PEEK'sโ€ฆ

3D printing of CNT- and graphene-based conductive polymer nanocomposites by fused deposition modeling

Gnanasekaran, K.; Heijmans, T.; van Bennekom, S.; Woldhuis, H.; Wijnia, S.; de With, G.; Friedrich, H.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is limited by the availability of application specific functional materials. Here we illustrate printing of non-conventional polymer nanocomposites (CNT- and graphene-based polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)) on a commercially available desktop 3D printer leading toward printing of electrically conductive structures.
