Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene (2014)
Journal Article
Svatek, S. A., Scott, O. R., Rivett, J. P., Wright, K., Baldoni, M., Bichoutskaia, E., Taniguchi, T., Watanabe, K., Marsden, A. J., Wilson, N. R., & Beton, P. H. (2015). Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene. Nano Letters, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1021/nl503308c

The adsorption of the alkane tetratetracontane (TTC, C44H90) on graphene induces the formation of a curved surface stabilized by a gain in adsorption energy. This effect arises from a curvature-dependent variation of a moiré pattern due to the mismat... Read More about Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene.

Porous macromolecular dihydropyridyl frameworks exhibiting catalytic and halochromic activity (2014)
Journal Article
Xiao, B., Easun, T. L., Dhakshinamoorthy, A., Cebula, I., Beton, P. H., Titman, J. J., Garcia, H., Thomas, K. M., & Schröder, M. (2014). Porous macromolecular dihydropyridyl frameworks exhibiting catalytic and halochromic activity. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2(46), 19889-19896. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ta02521k

New porous macromolecular frameworks (PMFs) have been designed and prepared by the condensation of dialdehydes with aminoacrylonitriles. Two porous materials were prepared by reacting 3,3′-benzene-1,4-diylbis(3-aminoprop-2-enenitrile) with benzene-1,...

Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films (2014)
Journal Article
Wieland, M. B., Slater, A. G., Mangham, B., Champness, N. R., & Beton, P. H. (2014). Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films. Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 5, https://doi.org/10.3762/bjnano.5.46

We show that thin films of C60 with a thickness ranging from 10 to 100 nm can promote adhesion between a Au thin film deposited on mica and a solution-deposited layer of the elastomer polymethyldisolaxane (PDMS). This molecular adhesion facilitates t... Read More about Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films.
