    Doped semiconducting polymer nanoantennas for tunable organic plasmonics

    Optical nanoantennas are often based on plasmonic resonances in metal nanostructures, but their dynamic tunability is limited due to the fixed permittivity of conventional metals. Recently, we introduced PEDOT...

    Supramolecular cocrystals built through redox-triggered ion intercalation in π-conjugated polymers

    Self-organization in π-conjugated polymers gives rise to a highly ordered lamellar structure, in which inter-chain stacking spontaneously forms two-dimensional conjugated sheets. This multi-layer stacked nature o...
