Journal Article
Schnepp, Z., Zhang, Y., Hollamby, M., Pauw, B., Tanaka, M., Matsushita, Y., & Sakka, Y. (2013). Doped-carbon electrocatalysts with trimodal porosity from a homogeneous polypeptide gel. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 1(43), 13576 -13581. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ta12996a

One of the biggest challenges for materials science is to design facile routes to structurally complex materials, which is particularly important for global applications such as fuel cells. Doped nanostructured carbons are targeted as noble metal-fre... Read More about Doped-carbon electrocatalysts with trimodal porosity from a homogeneous polypeptide gel.

Nonvolatile liquid anthracenes for facile full-colour luminescence tuning at single blue-light excitation (2013)
Journal Article
Möhwald, H., Nakanishi, T., Hagiwara, K., Yoshizawa, M., Babu, S., Hollamby, M., …Kobayashi, K. (2013). Nonvolatile liquid anthracenes for facile full-colour luminescence tuning at single blue-light excitation. Nature communications, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms2969

Nonvolatile room-temperature luminescent molecular liquids are a new generation of organic soft materials. They possess high stability, versatile optical properties, solvent-free fluid behaviour and can effectively accommodate dopant dye molecules. H...

Alkylated-C-60 based soft materials: regulation of self-assembly and optoelectronic properties by chain branching (2013)
Journal Article
Li, H., Babu, S. S., Turner, S. T., Neher, D., Hollamby, M. J., Seki, T., …Nakanishi, T. (2013). Alkylated-C-60 based soft materials: regulation of self-assembly and optoelectronic properties by chain branching. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 1(10), 1943-1951. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3tc00066d

Derivatization of fullerene (C60) with branched aliphatic chains softens C60-based materials and enables the formation of thermotropic liquid crystals and room temperature nonvolatile liquids. This work demonstrates that by carefully tuning parameter... Read More about Alkylated-C-60 based soft materials: regulation of self-assembly and optoelectronic properties by chain branching.

The power of branched chains: optimising functional molecular materials (2013)
Journal Article
Hollamby, M., & Nakanishi, T. (2013). The power of branched chains: optimising functional molecular materials. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 1(39), 6178 -6183. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3tc31381f

The power of branched alkyl substituents to alter material properties is known to soft matter chemistry, with examples found in both surfactants and ionic liquids. Here, we highlight their potency in organic molecular/polymeric materials with optoele... Read More about The power of branched chains: optimising functional molecular materials.
