A research group conducted quantitative individual analysis on the contribution to the strength of the micrometer-scale crystallographic lamellar structures and nanometer-sized cellular structures ...

Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

(a) Vertical edge imaging under positive electric field. Inset: the helical structure is suppressed and FLC molecules rotate to the left side of the core parallel to the substrates. (b) Horizontal ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...
