We demonstrate how tuneable Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) and resonant micro-cavities can be built by a scalable layer assembly of the transparent utility rubbers polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene-polyisoprene. Stretching the devices by more than 60% leads to an affine contraction of the
The confinement of air-protected metallic magnetic nanoparticles in the inner cavity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) should offer an interesting perspective for biomedical applications or for controlling CNT alignment in composites. Because the direct confinement of polymer-precoated nanoparticles in
Gutta percha, the trans-isomer of polyisoprene, is being used for several technical applications due to its resistance to biological degradation. In the past, several attempts to isolate micro-organisms capable of degrading chemically pure poly(trans-1,4-isoprene) have failed. This is the first
