Self-assembled monolayers in organic electronics. Casalini, Stefano; Bortolotti, Carlo Augusto; Leonardi, Francesca; Biscarini, Fabio. CHEMICAL SOCIETY REVIEWS. JAN 7 2017, 46, 1, 40-71. DOI: 10.1039/c6dt04003a
Self-assembly is the spontaneous organization of molecules into ordered domains across multiple length scales. In organic electronics self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used to tailor the electronic properties, morphology and structure of the device interfaces. SAMs are a viable and robust technology to enhance the response and impart new functionality to the device.

Carborane-stilbene dyads: the influence of substituents and cluster isomers on photoluminescence properties. Ferrer-Ugalde, A.; Cabrera-Gonzalez, J.; Juarez-Perez, E. J.; Teixidor, F.; Perez-Inestrosa, E.; Montenegro, J. M.; Sillanpaa, R.; Haukka, M.; Nunez, R. DALTON TRANSACTIONS. FEB 21 2017, 46, 7, 2091-2104. DOI: 10.1039/c6dt04003a
A new family of styrene and stilbene-containing carborane dyads has been successfully synthesized and characterised. In all of them the fluorophore was bonded to the Cc via a methylene unit, which is a key factor influencing their final photophysical properties, including photoluminescence.

Scaling properties of polycrystalline graphene: a review. Isacsson, Andreas; Cummings, Aron W.; Colombo, Luciano; Colombo, Luigi; Kinaret, Jari M.; Roche, Stephan. 2D MATERIALS. MAR 2017, 4,1, 12002. DOI: 10.1088/2053-1583/aa5147.
An overview of the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of polycrystalline graphene is presented. Most global properties of this material, such as the charge mobility, thermal conductivity,or Young’s modulus, are sensitive to its microstructure, for instance the grain size and the presence ofline or point defects. By establishing a perspective on how the microstructure impacts its large-scale physical properties, guidance for further optimization and improvement of applications based on this material, such as flexible and wearable electronics, and high-frequency or spintronic devices is provided.
