Composite materials have attracted much interest because of the emergent properties originating from the components. A variety of methods have been studied to control the morphology of composites ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

Numerous industrial processes make use of blends. Researchers have studied how the external electric field affects the rate of component separation in blends composed of polymers and liquid crystals ...

Metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds ordinarily appear as three-dimensional crystals. An international team has now devised a method for preparing these materials in 2-D form—as flat platelets—and ...

Only a handful of compounds have a knack for crystallizing into a variety of forms, or polymorphs. One of the most prolific, a small molecule known as ROY (so called because it crystallizes in ...

New publication: Investigating liquid-liquid phase separation with coherent Raman imaging Our research group has published a new study in Analytical Chemistry demonstrating how chemically specific ...

We investigated in meso crystallization of membrane proteins to develop a fast screening technology which combines features of the well established classical vapor diffusion experiment with the batch ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 103, No. 51 (Dec. 19, 2006), pp. 19243-19248 (6 pages) High-throughput screening and optimization experiments are ...
