Summary: Spin coating is commonly used to prepare thin films with uniformity and controlled thickness. However, it has not been successful in producing free-standing thin films of polyolefins due to their insufficient strength. In this study, we have achieved free-standing thin films of polyolefins, such as polyethylene, with varying thickness. These films can be used for hydrophobic coating, filtration membranes, and oil-sorbents.

Summary: Through integrated experimental and computational studies, the influence of pyrrolic-N concentration and position on the absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots was comprehensively elucidated. It was found that a mid-site pyrrolic-N is generated after the pyrrolic-N concentration exceeds 10%, while edge-site pyrrolic-N induces a frontier orbital hybridization, reducing bandgap energy. This study sheds light on the design and optimization of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots for the first near infrared window responsive materials in biomedical applications.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
