Polymer-bridged Nanofibrils in a High-molar-mass Polyester via Co-assembly of Benzenetricarboxamide End Groups and an Additive

John Christopher Plummer, Holger Frauenrath, Daniel Görl, Michael Alan Giffin

Benzenetricarboxamide (BTA) derivatives are versatile compounds widely employed as nucleating agents in commercial semicrystalline plastics and as supramolecular ligands in self-assembling telechelic polymer-based organogels, hydrogels, and bulk elastomers ...

Supramolecular modification of sustainable high-molar-mass polymers for improved processing and performance

Holger Frauenrath, Marianne Liebi, Daniel Görl, Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz, Yevhen Hryshunin

The plastic waste crisis is among humanity’s most urgent challenges. However, widespread adoption of sustainable plastics is hindered by their often inadequate processing characteristics and performance. Here, we introduce a bio-inspired strategy for the m ...

Long‐Lived Photocharges in Supramoelcular Polymers of Low‐Bandgap Chromophores

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Holger Frauenrath, Daniel Görl, Regina Judith Hafner

Photoinduced charge separation in supramolecular aggregates of π‐conjugated molecules is a fundamental photophysical process, and a key criterion for the development of advanced organic electronics materials. Here, we report on the self‐assembly of novel l ...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Semiaromatic Polyamides Comprising Benzofurobenzofuran Repeating Units

Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Holger Frauenrath, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Daniel Görl, Alberto Fabrizio, Bilal Özen, Thomas Schmaltz, Julien Philippe Cretenoud

Semiaromatic polyamides are attractive engineering polymers owing to their outstanding thermo-mechanical properties. To expand the scope of semiaromatic polyamides by additional optoelectronic features, one may consider the incorporation of extended pi-con ...
