Two-dimensional (2D) assemblies of water-soluble block copolymers have been limited by a dearth of systematic studies that relate polymer structure to pathway mechanism and supramolecular morphology. Here, we employ sequence-defined triblock DNA amphiphiles for the supramolecular polymerization of free-standing DNA nanosheets in water. Our systemat...

The self-assembly of block copolymers is often rationalized by structure and microphase separation; pathways that diverge from this parameter space may provide new mechanisms of polymer assembly. Here, we show that the sequence and length of single-stranded DNA directly influence the self-assembly of sequence-defined DNA block copolymers. While inc...

A comparative analysis of the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the eutectic Sn58Bi, 0.5 wt% and 1 wt% zinc (Zn)-functionalized Sn58Bi alloys was conducted before and after solid-state thermal aging. Cross-sectional microstructure observation and tensile tests were performed on bulk solder alloys. The fracture surfaces were observed a...

This paper reports the efficient synthesis of the first class of polyisobutylene(PIB)-supported palladium-PEPPSI precatalyst (PEPPSI = pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization, and initiation). The new complexes are employed in Buchwald–Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides and are found to be reasonably active in the titled cross-cou...
