TL;DR: A fabrication breakthrough is demonstrated to produce large-area arrays of vertically aligned silicon nanowires (VA-SiNWs) with full tunability of the geometry of the single Nanowires and of the whole array, paving the way toward advanced programmable designs of nanowire platforms.

Neutral nanosheets that gel: exfoliated layered double hydroxides in toluene
TL;DR: The phenomena is described and molecular dynamics simulations are used to show that exfoliation of the LDH in toluene is a consequence of the modification of the cohesive dispersive interactions between surfactant chains anchored on opposing inorganic sheets by the toLUene molecules.

Effect of Alkyl Chain Arrangement on Conformation and Dynamics in a Surfactant Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxide: Spectroscopic Measurements and MD Simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the anionic surfactant dodecyl sulfate (DDS) has been intercalated in an Mg−Al layered double hydroxide (LDH).

Adhesion and friction properties of polymer brushes on rough surfaces: a gradient approach.
Shivaprakash N. Ramakrishna,Rosa M. Espinosa-Marzal,Vikrant V. Naik,Prathima C. Nalam,Nicholas D. Spencer +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface roughness on the lubrication properties of a poly(l-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) brush was investigated.

Noémi E. Blanchard,Noémi E. Blanchard,Vikrant V. Naik,Thomas Geue,Olaf Kahle,Dirk Hegemann,Manfred Heuberger,Manfred Heuberger +7 more
TL;DR: Thin plasma polymer films were deposited in hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and HMDSO/O2 low-pressure discharges and their chemical structures analyzed using infrared (IR) spectroscopy and neutron reflectometry (NR) to indicate oxidative aging reactions upon contact with air.
