techniques towards the synthesis of functional polymeric materials. Emphasis is laid on work …

Altering the surface wettability by external stimulation has received great attention recently.
While different stimuli, such as temperature, pH, etc. can be applied for this purpose, light …

Plants and some types of bacteria demonstrate an elegant means to capitalize on the
superabundance of solar energy that reaches our planet with their energy conversion …

In this article, we described a method for the formation of photochromic polymer brushes
grafted from oxide surfaces using surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization …

Abstract Magnetorheological Elastomers (MREs) are synthesized from silicone RTV (room
temperature vulcanizing) elastomer with magnetically soft iron particles. The iron particle …

We report a highly controlled technique for the synthesis of polymer films atop a substrate by
combining spin coating with ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), herein termed …

Echingless electroless plating (ELP) process that can produce gold thin film with strong
adhesion to various polymer films has been developed. We have found that platinum (Pt) …

Surface-attached polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) films were prepared on gold and silicon
substrates via surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) of …

We have achieved reversible tunability of local surface plasmon resonance in conjugated
polymer functionalized gold nanoparticles. This property was facilitated by the preparation of …

Surface‐Initiated Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization (SI‐ROMP) has attracted great
attention in the past two decades because of its high efficiency in decorating material …
