TL;DR: No additional effort is required to precompensate for shrinkage or to improve the structural stability of the fabricated photonic crystals; this, combined with the possibility of tuning this material's optical, mechanical, and chemical properties, makes it suitable for a variety of applications by two-photon polymerization manufacturing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterization of Vinyl Polymer−Silica Colloidal Nanocomposites
M. J. Percy,C. Barthet,J C Lobb,Mohammed A. Khan,Stuart F. Lascelles,Maria Vamvakaki,Steven P. Armes +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, homopolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) in the presence of an ultrafine silica sol using a free-radical initiator in aqueous media at 60 °C was used to synthesize polymer−silica nanocomposite particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field responsive materials: photo-, electro-, magnetic- and ultrasound-sensitive polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight recent progress in the emerging field of photo-, electro-, magnetic-and ultrasound-sensitive polymers and present novel synthetic routes to these polymers as well as their responsive properties and functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiresponsive polymers: nano-sized assemblies, stimuli-sensitive gels and smart surfaces
TL;DR: This review highlights the recent advances in polymer chemistry to design multiresponsive polymeric materials that recognize independently or synergistically more than one stimulus exhibiting collective responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct laser writing of 3D scaffolds for neural tissue engineering applications.
Vasileia Melissinaki,A.A. Gill,Ilida Ortega,Maria Vamvakaki,Maria Vamvakaki,Anthi Ranella,John W. Haycock,Costas Fotakis,Costas Fotakis,Maria Farsari,Frederik Claeyssens +10 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the photocurable polylactide (PLA) resin can be readily structured via direct laser write (DLW) with a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser and submicrometer structures can be produced.
