π-Conjugated organic semiconductors (OSCs) are the basic scaffold of organic
semiconductor devices. Solution processing is an effective way to promote the …

Diazirine reagents allow for the ready generation of carbenes upon photochemical, thermal,
or electrical stimulation. Because carbenes formed in this way can undergo rapid insertion …

Conspectus Addition of new covalent bonds between the chains of thermoplastic polymers
(ie, crosslinking) provides improved mechanical strength and enhanced high-temperature …

Covalently crosslinked polymeric materials, known as thermosets, possess enhanced
mechanical strength and thermal stability relative to the corresponding uncrosslinked …

Motivated by a desire to develop flexible covalent adhesives that afford some of the same
malleability in the adhesive layer as traditional polymer-based adhesives, we designed and …

Light-activated carbenes provide a unique method of non-specific covalent bond formation
needed in bioadhesives and rapid gelation. The highly reactive carbenes formed upon UV …

Topical application of diazirine-based crosslinkers can upgrade the mechanical properties
of low-functionality commodity plastics by engaging in rapid C–H insertions along the …

The problems with fabrication of solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)
stem largely from the defects associated with sequential deposition of the layers, solvent …

Ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers show promise for use in fiber-
reinforced polymer composites but have poor interfacial adhesion to the epoxy resin that …

A small molecular weight cationic copper (I) complex showing high luminescence quantum
yield based on a thermally activated delayed fluorescence mechanism is immobilized …
