Eco-friendly ‘Pre-fab Nanoparticles’ Could Revolutionize Nano Manufacturing



UMass Amherst team invents a way to create versatile, water-soluble nano-modules

A team of materials chemists, polymer scientists, device physicists and others at the University of Massachusetts Amherst today report a breakthrough technique for controlling molecular assembly of nanoparticles over multiple length scales that should allow faster, cheaper, more ecologically friendly manufacture of organic photovoltaics and other electronic devices. Details are in the current issue of Nano Letters.
