TL;DR: The introduction of planar cations in place of bulky TBA cations may form fine-tuned supramolecular organized structures as soft materials using p–p stacking and electrostatic interactions along with van der Waals forces.

TL;DR: The frontier soft-material beamline at BL03XU for soft materials was recently installed at SPring-8, using an in-vacuum undulator.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the molecular aggregation states and water repellency of the perfluoroalkyl (Rf) groups of poly{2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate} (poly(FA-C8)) brush thin films with broad and narrow molecular weight dispersities (MWDs) were analyzed by grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray diffraction (GI-WAXD) and water contact angle measurements.

TL;DR: Analysis of SAXS data on aqueous solutions of PEG-P(Asp(Bzl) with LE540 indicated that the core radius increases sigmoidally from 5.9 to 6.9 nm upon addition of LE540 whereas the shell radius stayed at 12.5-12.8 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of macroscopic nanofiber orientation and microscopic crystallite and molecular chain orientation have been investigated during uniaxial stretching of electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) non-woven mat.
