From Molecular to Hierachiacal Chirality for Chiroptics
Abstract
Nanostructured networks are perhaps the most fascinating and sought after materials architectures due to their high porosities, large specific surface areas and co-continuous character, which affords hybrid materials that combine self- supporting mechanics with seemingly orthogonal materials functions (e.g. ion transport). Self- assembly is uniquely suited for targeting networks with controlled nanoscale dimensions and novel periodic symmetries. This project will advance the ability to realize bottom routes to triply-periodic nanonetworks with controllable chiral mesoscopic symmetry through the molecular design, synthesis and assembly of a novel class of chiral block copolymers (BCP*s).
