Location, Location, Location – How charge placement can control a self-assembled structure
Oct 08, 2019 (Nanowerk News) New, complex materials could lead to better tech to purify water or recover oil. Creating the right materials (often polymers) is difficult. For years, scientists have formed polymers using the interaction of charges on molecular chains to determine the shape, geometry, and other properties. Now,...
