Spontaneous formation of a self-healing carbon nanoskin at the liquid-liquid interface

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Nicolas Candau, Paul Grandgeorge, Reuben Yeo Jueyuan

Biological membranes exhibit the ability to self-repair and dynamically change their shape while remaining impermeable. Yet, these defining features are difficult to reconcile with mechanical robustness. Here, we report on the spontaneous formation of a ca ...

Lamellar carbon-aluminosilicate nanocomposites with macroscopic orientation

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Emad Oveisi, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Yannik Fontana, Dragana Paripovic

Novel preparative approaches towards lamellar nanocomposites of carbon and inorganic materials are relevant for a broad range of technological applications. Here, we describe how to utilize the co-assembly of a liquid-crystalline hexaphenylene amphiphile a ...

Carbon Nanomaterials from Oligoyne Surfactants

Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal

Carbonaceous nanocoatings such as diamond-like amorphous carbon or graphene layers exhibit remarkable properties in multiple fields, ranging from corrosion protection to electronics and lubrication. However, they are typically deposited from the vapor phas ...

Hexayne Amphiphiles and Bolaamphiphiles

Rosario Scopelliti, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Reuben Yeo Jueyuan, Vincent Matthieu Guillaume Croué

Oligoynes with two or more conjugated carbon-carbon triple bonds are useful precursors for carbon-rich nanomaterials. However, their range of app0lications has so far been severly limited by the challenging syntheses, particularly in the case of oligoynes ...
