    • A colloidoscope of colloid-based porous materials and their uses 

      Phillips, Katherine; England, Grant Tyler; Sunny, Steffi; Shirman, Elijah; Shirman, Tanya; Vogel, Nicolas; Aizenberg, Joanna (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)
      Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions. Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to produce structures from simple building ...

    • Nanocrystalline Precursors for the Co-Assembly of Crack-Free Metal Oxide Inverse Opals 

      Phillips, Katherine Reece; Shirman, Tanya; Shirman, Elijah; Shneidman, Anna Vitalyevna; Kay, Theresa M.; Aizenberg, Joanna (Wiley, 2018)
      Inorganic microstructured materials are ubiquitous in nature. However, their formation in artificial self‐assembly systems is challenging as it involves a complex interplay of competing forces during and after assembly. ...

    • New Architectures for Designed Catalysts: Selective Oxidation using AgAu Nanoparticles on Colloid-Templated Silica 

      Shirman, Tanya; Lattimer, Judith; Luneau, Mathilde; Shirman, Elijah; Reece, Christian; Aizenberg, Michael; Madix, Robert James; Aizenberg, Joanna; Friend, Cynthia M. (Wiley, 2017)
      A highly modular synthesis of designed catalysts with controlled bimetallic nanoparticle size and composition and a well-defined structural hierarchy is demonstrated. Exemplary catalysts—bimetallic dilute Ag-in-Au nanoparticles ...

    • Photothermally triggered actuation of hybrid materials as a new platform for in vitro cell manipulation 

      Sutton, Amy Alexandra; Shirman, Tanya; Timonen, Jaakko; England, Grant Tyler; Kim, Philseok; Kolle, Mathias; Ferrante, Thomas Charles; Zarzar, Lauren; Strong, Elizabeth; Aizenberg, Joanna (Springer Nature, 2017)
      Mechanical forces in the cell’s natural environment have a crucial impact on growth, differentiation and behavior. Few areas of biology can be understood without taking into account how both individual cells and cell ...
