Taking advantage of the photobleaching and co-initiating properties of the dendritic thioxanthone (TX) photoinitiator, we developed a general and facile approach to fabricate patterned binary polymer brushes by combining photolithography and surface-initiated photopolymerization (SIPP). The dendritic TX photoinitiator…

We demonstrate a mechanism to intrinsically stabilize a hollow shell composed of individual nanoparticles. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that if nanoparticles that interact via short-range attraction and long-range repulsion are assembled on a template, the resulting shell can be stabilized upon the removal o…

The conversion of silicon‐based polymers into a ceramic occurs by the release of small organic molecules at intermediate temperatures, and hydrogen at the higher temperatures. The conversion is accompanied by significant densification. In order for the body to emerge without fracture damage, the shrinkage must be acco…

Imaging with a layered superlens is a spatial filtering operation characterized by the point spread function (PSF). We show that in the same optical system the image of a narrow subwavelength Gaussian incident field may be surprisingly dissimilar to the PSF, and the width of the PSF is not a straightforward measure of…
