Shuai's Latest Manuscript Accepted!

Shuai’s latest manuscript, a collaborative effort led by Prof. Yuming Zhao (Memorial University of Newfoundland) studied dithiafulvenyl-grafted phenyl acetylene polymers as selective and reversible dispersants for single-walled carbon nanotubes. This work showed that selective and reversible nanotube dispersion can be achieved with a new “centipede wrapping” motif.
