Dynamic helical poly[4]helicene nanoribbon

<title>Abstract</title> The precise synthesis of helical graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with a controlled handedness has a transformative potential as the promising chiral carbon materials. We now report the first synthesis of a dynamic helical poly[4]helicene nanoribbon, a novel cl...

Polymerization as a structuring strategy for hierarchical order and function

Abstract Polymerization has long been used as a tool for structural fixation: liquid or soft precursors are converted into solids. Recent advances in polymerization-based processing technologies have greatly expanded this role, now allowing complex external architectures to be in...
