Chiral-induced, luminescent ultrathin covalent organic framework nanosheets

Graphical abstract. Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2022). DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c00285 Compared to traditional materials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new kind of crystalline porous material, have high potential because of their structural designability, versatility, functional adjustability, and chemical stability. At present, COFs with CPL activity and good …

In situ TEM shows why polymer nanocapsules are deformed

Nanocapsules are widely used in various industries, such as drug delivery systems. The recent study published in Langmuir focuses on the analysis of buckling and collapsing of nanocapsules using real-time transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results are useful in understanding the mechanism of buckling and can help to improve the design aspect of these structures. …
