Sustainable Materials and Chemical Processes for Additive Manufacturing
(ACS, 2020-08-03)
Additive manufacturing (AM) is energizing the fields of chemistry and materials science to develop new inks for new applications within fields such as aerospace, robotics, and healthcare. AM enables the fabrication of ...
Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends
(Elservier, 2019-06-13)
Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends ...
Brownian Dynamics Computational Model of Protein Diffusion in Crowded Media with Dextran Macromolecules as Obstacles
(MDPI, 2017-03-09)
The high concentration of macromolecules (i.e., macromolecular crowding) in cellular environments leads to large quantitative effects on the dynamic and equilibrium biological properties. These effects have been experimentally ...
Nucleation modalities in poly(lactide), poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) ternary blends with partial wetting morphology
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-08-17)
Ternary biodegradable polymer blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) with the composition 45/10/45 wt% and exhibiting partial‐wetting morphology were prepared. In ...
Enantioselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide Dictated by Densely Substituted Aminoacids
(ACS, 2017-03-08)
Organocatalysis is becoming an important tool in
polymer science because of its versatility and specificity. To date
a limited number of organic catalysts have demonstrated the
ability to promote stereocontrolled ...
Single-ion conducting poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Wiley, 2019-09-25)
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SIPE) have attracted a lot of interest for application in high energy density lithium metal batteries. SIPEs possess lithium transport numbers close to unity, which does not ...
Designing boron-based single-ion gel polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries by photopolymerization
(Wiley, 2022-01-27)
Single-ion lithium conducting polymer electrolytes based on delocalized borate groups have been designed and synthesized by rapid UV-photopolymerisation. For this purpose, three different functional lithium boron sp3 anionic ...
A High Performance All-Polymer Symmetric Faradaic Deionization Cell
(Elsevier, 2023-02-18)
Faradaic deionization (FDI) is an emerging and promising electrochemical technology for stable and
efficient water desalination. Battery-type energy storage materials applied in FDI have demonstrated
to achieve higher ...
The effect of initial molecular weight on the structural evolution of Polyamide 1012 during high-temperature thermal treatments as revealed by Successive Self-Nucleation and Annealing
(ACS, 2022-08-24)
Successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) can thermally fractionate semi-crystalline polymers, thus detecting the characteristic structural features that lead to specific melting point distributions (corresponding to ...
Nucleation of poly(lactide) partially wet droplets in ternary blends with poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone)
(ACS, 2020-02-25)
This work presents the first investigation on the crystallization behavior of partially wet droplets in immiscible ternary blends. Poly(lactide), poly(ε-caprolactone), and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL, and PBS, ...
