Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
Ionic liqids for the control of the morphology in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) membranes
(Elsevier, 2018-10-05)
The development of polymer membranes with tailored micro-morphology and wettability is a demand in the areas of filtration, sensors, and tissue engineering, among others. The thermoplastic copolymer poly(vinylidene ...
Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
A Survey on the Contributions of Software-Defined Networking to Traffic Engineering
(IEEE, 2017-05-31)
Since the appearance of OpenFlow back in 2008, software-defined networking (SDN) has gained momentum. Although there are some discrepancies between the standards developing organizations working with SDN about what SDN is ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
A bayesian estimation of the economic effects of the Common Fisheries Policy on the Galician Fleet: a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium approach
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)
What would have happened if a relatively looser fisheries policy had been implemented in the
European Union (EU)? Using Bayesian methods a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model is estimated to assess the ...
Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments
(Wiley, 2017-02-14)
Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of ...
Elastic and Thermoreversible Iongels by Supramolecular PVA/Phenol Interactions
(Wiley, 2020-06-28)
Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with ...
Synthesis of mechanically strong waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s capable of self-healing at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Although various chemistries have been introduced into polyurethanes in order to obtain self-healing abilities, implementing these materials in applications requiring high strength is challenging as strong materials imply ...
An architecture for dynamic QoS management at Layer 2 for DOCSIS access networks using OpenFlow
(Elsevier, 2016-01-15)
Over the last few years, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as one of the most disruptive and profitable novelties in networking. SDN was originally conceived to improve performance and reduce costs in Ethernet-based ...
