SUMMARY Burn injuries are among the most devastating of all injuries and are the fourth most common type of trauma worldwide. In the United States, there are 1.1 million burn injuries which require medical attention each year. These injuries often result in significant scarring having a negative impact on the… Read More
SUMMARY Block copolymers can assemble into large-scale, dense, and regular nanoscale patterns, making block copolymer assembly a potential candidate for nanolithography. The assembly of block copolymers can be directed to follow a chemical pattern to generate a regular structure. Notwithstanding the success of existing approaches, current chemical patterning methods are… Read More

SUMMARY Group III-V quantum dots (QDs) are useful for applications such as photovoltaics and display technologies because of their direct band gaps and favorable electronic properties. The bandgaps of these types of semiconductors can be precisely tuned by adjusting the composition of the ternary alloys. As an alternative to traditional… Read More
SUMMARY Blue phase liquid crystalline structures are highly desirable for applications such as electro-optical devices (e.g. display screens) because of light reflection that includes wavelengths not possible with other crystals and fast optical response rates as compared to current materials. However, widespread application of these materials is limited by narrow… Read More
