Scalable method for manufacture of thin film photovoltaic devices
Photovoltaic devices based on perovskites hold the potential of thin, light structures and very high efficiencies. However, the instability of perovskites in air leads to very short device lifetimes (on the order of hours), and thus silicone-based…

Copolymers For Stabilizing Emulsions And/Or Forming Interfacial Films, And Methods Thereof
Emulsions typically consist of dispersed droplets in a continuous phase, and they naturally tend to separate due to interfacial energy, leading to droplet coalescence. Copolymers are designed for stabilizing emulsions or droplets, which are mixtures…
