Objective:  Develop plasmonic structures in which the spatial conductivity can be varied

Guided by hierarchical materials design principles evolved by bacteria, which include the use of curvature-induced strain to dynamically position amphiphiles, proteins and other biomolecules within single cells, IRG3 of the Wisconsin MRSEC has recently recapitulated these design principles in synthetic LC systems. In one set of approaches, the IRG has explored the complex interplay of curvature strain, surface anchoring and topological defects within LC droplets to achieve the synthesis of

Inks of inorganic nanocrystals hold great promise for printed electronics but the widely used organic surfactants (ligands) needed to stabilize these inks degrade the electrical quality of the printed films.
