Unexpected Synthesis of Segmented Poly(hydroxyurea−urethane)s from Dicyclic Carbonates and Diamines by Organocatalysis
(ACS, 2018-07-17)
A complete study of the effect of different organocatalysts on the step-growth polyaddition of a five-membered
dicyclic carbonate, namely diglycerol dicarbonate, with a poly(ethylene glycol)-based diamine in bulk at 120 ...
Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Soft Nanoparticles Obtained by Surfactant-Assisted Interfacial Polymerization
(ACS, 2017-01-24)
Polyurethanes (PUs) are considered ideal candidates for drug delivery applications due to their easy synthesis, excellent mechanical properties, and biodegradability. Unfortunately, methods for preparing well-defined PU ...
Generating Triple Crystalline Superstructures in Melt Miscible PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA Triblock Terpolymers by Controlling Thermal History and Sequential Crystallization
(WILEY-VCH, 2019-09-10)
The morphology, crystallization behavior and properties of multi-crystalline polymer systems based on triple crystalline biodegradable PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA triblock terpolymers are reviewed. The triblock terpolymers, with ...
Three-Dimensional Conductive Scaffolds as Neural Prostheses Based on Carbon Nanotubes and Polypyrrole
(ACS Publications, 2018-12-19)
Three-dimensional scaffolds for cellular organization need to enjoy a series of specific properties. On the one hand, the morphology, shape and porosity are critical parameters and eventually related with the mechanical ...
Suppressing Co-Crystallization of Halogenated Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Thermally Stable Ternary Solar Cells
(Wiley, 2020-11)
While photovoltaic blends based on non-fullerene acceptors are touted for their thermal stability, this type of acceptor tends to crystallize, which can result in a gradual decrease in photovoltaic performance and affects ...
Additive Manufacturing of Conducting Polymers: Recent Advances, Challenges and Opportunities
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-01)
Conducting polymers (CPs) have been attracting great attention in the development of (bio)electronic devices. Most of current devices are rigid 2D systems and possess uncontrollable geometries and architectures that lead ...
Single-ion polymer/LLZO hybrid electrolytes with high lithium conductivity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-11-25)
Hybrid solid electrolytes which combine the properties of inorganic and polymeric ion conductors are being investigated for lithium batteries which use lithium metal anodes. The number of inorganic/polymer compositions and ...
A Wavy Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework from Core- Twisted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(ACS, 2019-09-11)
A high degree of crystallinity is an essential aspect in two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, as many properties depend strongly on the structural arrangement of the different layers and their constituents. We ...
Catechol-containing acrylic Poly(ionic liquid) Hydrogels as Bioinspired Filters for Water Decontamination
(ACS, 2019-06-13)
Mussel inspired catechol containing materials have currently drawn great attention as biomaterials, adhesives, surface coating and in bioelectronics, among other applications. In this work, we mimicked the ability of mussels ...
Reduction of the Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Polymer Semiconductors by Molecular Doping
(American Chemical Society, 2020-09-11)
Here we show that molecular doping of polymer thermoelectrics increases the electrical conductivity while reducing the thermal conductivity. A high-throughput methodology based on annealing and doping gradients within ...
