Abstract: We introduce a method to produce continuous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone filaments on the order of 0.5 m long and 100 μm in diameter. The approach overcomes traditional limitations in silicone drawing by partially precuring the… read more here.

Abstract: The recent growing interest in the applications of gold nanowires (AuNWs) as flexible materials has raised the fundamental issue of how their mechanical properties are related to their morphology. In this work, to address this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.121.037801
Abstract: Within a confining tube section, the multithreads of a strongly confined, backfolding polymer exert the excluded-volume repulsions on each other and produce physical properties that are very different from those of a confined ideal chain.… read more here.
