- Reports highly crystalline, self-poled -phase Nylon-11 nanowires fabricated using a novel gas-flow assisted nano-template infiltration method, with enhanced triboelectric energy-harvesting performance. Led to further work [Advanced Functional Materials 27(2017)1604262] showing these Nylon-11 nanowires to be piezoelectric and suitable for high-temperature (~150C) applications. The present work was selected as part of the journals themed collection: 2017 Energy and Environmental Science HOT articles. It led to two patents being filed (PCT/GB2018/053331, PCT/EP2017/072742), GBP250k industrial funding from Cambridge Display Technology, and three invited reviews in Advanced Energy Materials [doi:10.1002/aenm.202003802(2021)], EcoMat [2(2020)e12063], and J. Appl. Phys D [51(2018)303001].
