We performed the first ever simulations of simultaneous capsid assembly and encapsulation of a polymer, we characterized the role of the polymer in this cooperative assembly process and obtained ...

We have recently designed and synthesized the first example of a polymerizable bent-core (i.e., banana) thermotropic LC, as a novel approach to generating polar, noncentrosymmetric polymer networks ...

are introduced, are further assembled by virtue of their simple rod shape, leading to new functions on the basis of hierarchical integration of the functional groups. New chiral polymer catalysts and ...

Further manipulation during the process resulted in liquid crystal assembly pathways that were either achiral or chiral. Both resulted in a clear improvement in efficiency and stability of the OSC ...

Artificial muscle using rotary molecular motors, activated by a chiral chemical fuel. The direction of rotation of the motors ... They combined small rotary motors (1000 times smaller than myosin-II) ...
