- Additional information
- This work shows that hydrophobic amphiphilic pi-conjugated and alkyl small molecule derivatives behave in solution in much the same way as classical surfactants, forming small micelles or liquid crystalline phases. This paper directly led to a JSPS Bridge Fellowship, enabling a lecture tour of Japan and the establishment of new collaborations, several other publications, multiple invited talks and accepted beamtime proposals at ISIS and ILL (France). An ongoing collaboration with Prof Amabilino, Nottingham, UK, to further explore the potential of these derivatives in OPVs has also resulted.
