To design novel materials, scientists need to have a clear understanding of the chemical reactions or processes that take place when these materials are created. Researchers supported in part by the ...

Polymers are materials made out of long, repeating chains of molecules, and it is the interaction between these chains that dictates most of a polymer's physicochemical properties. In accordance with ...

This is the ultra-high vacuum chamber in which the experiments, including the preparation and analysis of the samples, were carried out. The middle part shows the self-made low-temperature scanning ...
