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
; ; ; ; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús 
; (ACS, 2022-08-24)
; (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)
; ; ; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús ; (ACS, 2020-02-25)
; (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, ...
Controlling the Isothermal Crystallization of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Random Copolymers by Varying Composition and Supercooling
; ; ; ; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús (MDPI, 2019-12-20)
(MDPI, 2019-12-20)
In this work, we study for the first time, the isothermal crystallization behavior of isodimorphic random poly(butylene succinate)-ran-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolyesters, PBS-ran-PCL, previously synthesized by us. We perform ...
Recent Applications of the Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) Thermal Fractionation Technique
; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-09-28)
(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 ...
Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
; ; ; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús (MDPI, 2019-03-09)
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
Opportunities for organocatalysis in polymer synthesis via step-growth methods
(Elservier, 2019-03-14)
Organocatalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for polymer synthesis and has already demonstrated versatility for replacing organometallic catalysts in many polymerization reactions. The overall ease of removal and lower ...
Chemical Structure Drives Memory Effects in the Crystallization of Homopolymers
; ; ; ; ; ; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús (ACS, 2020-06-11)
(ACS, 2020-06-11)
Although the study of melt memory has attracted much interest, the effect of polymer chemical structure on its origin has not been fully elucidated. In this work, we study melt memory effects by Differential Scanning ...
Solid–Solid Crystal Transitions (δ to α) in Poly(hexamethylene carbonate) and Poly(octamethylene carbonate)
