Universal two-step crystallization of DNA-functionalized nanoparticles
Wei Dai, Sanat K. Kumar, Francis W. Starr
We examine the crystallization dynamics of nanoparticles reversibly tethered by DNA hybridization. We show that the crystallization happens readily only in a narrow temperature "sl…

End Grafted Polymer Nanoparticles in a Polymeric Matrix: Effect of Coverage and Curvature
Joshua Kalb, Douglas Dukes, Sanat K. Kumar +2
It has recently been proposed that the miscibility of nanoparticles with a polymer matrix can be controlled by grafting polymer chains to the nanoparticle surface. As a first step…
