Through adding two substituent phenyl groups on distyrylbenzene, we have obtained the
cross stacking of 2,5-diphenyl-1,4-distyrylbenzene with two trans double bonds (trans-DPDSB) …

The trans form of an azobenzene-containing guest can complex with a pillar[6]arene, while it
cannot complex with pillar[5]arenes due to the different cavity sizes of the pillar[6]arene and …

Recently we reported the first example of a water-soluble diblock copolymer capable of existing
in three states in aqueous solution, namely, as conventional micelles, reverse micelles, …

Shiyong Liu was born in Hubei Province, China, in 1972. He obtained his BS degree in 1993 …

Solution self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) typically generates spheres, rods, and
vesicles. The reproducible bottom-up fabrication of stable planar nanostructures remains …

The past two decades have evidenced a tremendous growth in the field of responsive
polymers, which can exhibit reversible or irreversible changes in physical properties and/or …

A series of well-defined poly[(ethylene oxide)-block-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-block-2-(diethylamino)
methacrylate] (PEO−DMA−DEA) triblocks were synthesized by …

We have realized a small-molecule organic light-emitting diode where the intrinsic emitter
layer is sandwiched by n- and p-doped transport layers with appropriate blocking layers. The …

We report on the preparation of well-defined cyclic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (cyclic-PNIPAM)
via click chemistry and its unique thermal phase transition behavior as compared to the …
