TL;DR: This work shows that a widely studied non-fullerene acceptor, the indacenodithienothiophene-based acceptor ITIC, crystallizes in a profoundly different way as compared to fullerenes, and introduces a new rationale for the design of bulk heterojunctions that is not based on the selection of high- Tg materials per se but diffusion-limited crystallization.

TL;DR: These novel conducting polymer porous scaffolds based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT):xanthan gum instead of the well-known PEDOT:polystyrene sulfonate scaffolds successfully support three-dimensional cell cultures of M DCK II eGFP and MDCK II LifeAct epithelial cells, achieving good cell attachment with very high degree of pore coverage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors acknowledge the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) under OSR-2018-CPF-4106 and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation through the project “Mastering Morphology for Solution-borne Electronics” (2016).

TL;DR: The rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) is a non-crystalline interphase of polymers that devitrifies on heating at tempe... as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel synthetic strategy to isocyanate-free supramolecular polyhydroxyurethanes based on ionic interactions is described, which demonstrates for the first time the potential of combining water-dispersible non-isocyanates polyhydroxane with simple carboxylic acid-containing reagents, providing a straightforward and sustainable approach to novel reprocessable PHU-type materials.
