Revealing microscale bulk structures in polymer–carbon nanocomposites using spin-echo SANS (2024)
Journal Article
Tiihonen, L. V., Weir, M. P., Parnell, A. J., Boothroyd, S. C., Johnson, D. W., Dalgliesh, R. M., Bleuel, M., Duif, C. P., Bouwman, W. G., Thompson, R. L., Coleman, K. S., Clarke, N., Hamilton, W. A., Washington, A. L., & Parnell, S. R. (2024). Revealing microscale bulk structures in polymer–carbon nanocomposites using spin-echo SANS. Soft Matter, 20(43), 8663-8674. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4sm00578c

We have used spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) to probe the hierarchy of structures present in polymer-carbon nanocomposites, with length scales spanning over three orders of magnitude, from 10 nm to 16 μm. The data processing and red... Read More about Revealing microscale bulk structures in polymer–carbon nanocomposites using spin-echo SANS.

Ligand-Directed Self-Assembly of Organic-Semiconductor/Quantum-Dot Blend Films Enables Efficient Triplet Exciton-Photon Conversion (2024)
Journal Article
Gray, V., Toolan, D. T. W., Dowland, S., Allardice, J. R., Weir, M. P., Zhang, Z., …Rao, A. (2024). Ligand-Directed Self-Assembly of Organic-Semiconductor/Quantum-Dot Blend Films Enables Efficient Triplet Exciton-Photon Conversion. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 146(11), 7763-7770. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c00125

Blends comprising organic semiconductors and inorganic quantum dots (QDs) are relevant for many optoelectronic applications and devices. However, the individual components in organic-QD blends have a strong tendency to aggregate and phase-separate du...
