The use of crystallization as a tool to control the self-assembly of polymeric and molecular
amphiphiles in solution is attracting growing attention for the creation of non-spherical …

In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

The osmotic energy existing in fluids is recognized as a promising “blue” energy source that
can help solve the global issues of energy shortage and environmental pollution. Recently …

This Perspective outlines recent advances concerning the formation and potential uses of
block copolymer micelles, a class of soft-matter-based nanoparticles of growing importance …

Living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) has emerged as a technique that is able
to perform solution phase self-assembly of semi-crystalline block copolymers in a controlled …

As we enter the age of artificial intelligence (AI), new technologies will be needed to
“sample” environmental conditions to provide data to AI systems that will yield a specific …

Supramolecular copolymers are an emerging class of materials, and in the last years their
potential has been demonstrated on a broad scale. Implementing noncovalent polymers …

This in-depth review covers progress in the area of polyferrocenylsilanes (PFS), a well-
established, readily accessible class of main chain organosilicon metallopolymer consisting …

Biological ion channels are known as membrane proteins which can turn on and off under
environmental stimulus to regulate ion transport and energy conversion. Rapid progress …

π-Conjugated-polymer-based nanofibers (CPNFs) of controlled length, composition and
