Journal Article
Jiang, N., Zhu, C.-Y., Li, K.-X., Xu, Y.-H., & Bryce, M. R. (2024). Recent Progress in Nonconventional Luminescent Macromolecules and their Applications. Macromolecules, 57(12), 5561-5577. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.4c00186

Traditional π-conjugated luminescent macromolecules typically suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and high cytotoxicity, and they require complex synthetic processes. In contrast, nonconventional luminescent macromolecules (NCLMs) with non... Read More about Recent Progress in Nonconventional Luminescent Macromolecules and their Applications.

Rigidity for the perimeter inequality under Schwarz symmetrization (2024)
Journal Article
Domazakis, G. (2024). Rigidity for the perimeter inequality under Schwarz symmetrization. Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Section A: Mathematics, 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1017/prm.2024.59

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the rigidity of the perimeter inequality under Schwarz symmetrization. The term rigidity refers to the situation in which the equality cases are only obtained by translations of the symme...

Data, disclosure and duties: balancing privacy and safeguarding in the context of UK university student sexual misconduct complaints (2024)
Journal Article
Cowan, S., Munro, V. E., Bull, A., DiSantis, C. J., & Prince, K. (2024). Data, disclosure and duties: balancing privacy and safeguarding in the context of UK university student sexual misconduct complaints. Legal Studies, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1017/lst.2024.9

The past decade has seen a marked shift in the regulatory landscape of UK higher education. Institutions are increasingly assuming responsibility for preventing campus sexual misconduct, and are responding to its occurrence through – amongst other th...

The role of fused thiophene and naphthalene diimide (NDI) in shaping the optical and electrical properties of donor-acceptor polymers (2024)
Journal Article
Dang Anh, K., dos Santos, P. L., Saeed, M., Chaudhry, M. U., Bechtold, I. H., Batycki, A., …Ledwon, P. (2024). The role of fused thiophene and naphthalene diimide (NDI) in shaping the optical and electrical properties of donor-acceptor polymers. Organic Electronics, 129, Article 107058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orgel.2024.107058

Three polymers with general structure (D-A)n were designed and synthetized to investigate the interaction of strong donors and strong acceptors in polymer chain. They are based on different fused thiophenes (1Th: 4,4′-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-cyclopenta [2,...

The dynamics of individual solvated ions near solid surfaces is the driving force behind numerous interfacial processes, from electrochemical reactions to charge storage, mineral growth, biosignalling and bioenergetics. The precise system behaviour i... Read More about Towards local tracking of solvated metal ions at solid-liquid interfaces.
