Crystallization Kinetics and Nanoparticle Ordering in Semicrystalline Polymer Nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2022-03-13)
There has been considerable interest in the nucleation and crystallization of polymers in the presence of nanoparticles (NPs, or nanofillers in general, NFs). Most of the extensive work in this area has focused on anisotropic, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Recent Applications of the Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) Thermal Fractionation Technique
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-09-28)
Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) is a thermal fractionation technique that is performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The combination of non-isothermal and isothermal steps applied during SSA ...
From Plastic Waste to New Materials for Energy Storage
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-07-06)
The use of plastic waste to develop high added value materials, also known as upcycling, is a useful strategy towards the development of more sustainable materials. More specifically, the use of plastic waste as a feedstock ...
Unexpected structural properties in the saturation region of the odd-even effects in aliphatic polyethers: Influence of crystallization conditions
(ACS, 2022-01-04)
A series of aliphatic polyethers with different chain lengths (nCH2= 6 to 12, and 16) is
studied employing differential scanning calorimetry and X-rays scattering. The
calorimetric and structural behavior of samples ...
Experimental and Data Fitting Guidelines for the Determination of Polymer Crystallization Kinetics
(Springer Nature, 2022-05-05)
The crystallization kinetics of semicrystalline polymers is often studied with isothermal experiments and analyzed by fitting the data with analytical expressions of the Avrami and Lauritzen and Hoffman (LH) theories. To ...
3D Printed Bioplastics with Shape-Memory Behavior Based on Native Bovine Serum Albumin
(ACS, 2022-04-19)
Bio-based plastics that can supplant petroleum-derived materials are necessary to meet the future demands of sustainability in the life cycle of plastic materials. While there are significant efforts to develop protein-based ...
Injectable PEDOT:PSS/cholinium ionic liquid mixed conducting materials for electrocardiogram recordings
(RSC, 2022-09-27)
Mixed conducting polymer electrodes built from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are attracting a great deal of interest in healthcare monitoring. However, the widespread application of ...
Biodegradable binary blends of poly (butylene succinate) or poly (ε-caprolactone) with poly (butylene succinate-ran-ε-caprolactone) copolymers: Crystallization behavior
(Elsevier, 2022-08-12)
Poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are two immiscible biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Aiming to combine the properties of these biodegradable polymers, this work explores for the first ...
