Using Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) to detect the solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) and poly (octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-10-26)
Solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8), denoted δ to α transition, have been investigated, using self-nucleation and Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing ...
Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents Based on Choline Chloride and Phenolic Compounds as Efficient Bioadhesives and Corrosion Protectors
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Natural deep eutectics solvents (NADES), owing to their high solvation capacity and nontoxicity, are actively being sought for many technological applications. Herein, we report a series of novel NADES based on choline ...
(PVDF)2(PEO)2 miktoarm star copolymers: Synthesis and isothermal crystallization leading to exclusive β-phase formation
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
In this work, we study how chain topology can induce different polymorphic behaviors in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based materials. A linear PVDF precursor with two azido groups at the junction point, (PVDFx-N3)2 and ...
Enhanced and Reusable Poly(hydroxy urethane)-Based Low Temperature Hot-Melt Adhesives
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHUs) based on 5-membered cyclic carbonates have emerged as sustainable alternatives to conventional isocyanate-based polyurethanes. However, while from the point of view of sustainability ...
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 ...
Electroactive 3D printable poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-graft-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymers as scaffolds for muscle cell alignment
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-12-02)
The development of tailor-made polymers to build artificial three-dimensional scaffolds to repair damaged skin tissues is gaining increasing attention in the bioelectronics field. Poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) ...
Polyether Single and Double Crystalline Blends and the Effect of Lithium Salt on Their Crystallinity and Ionic Conductivity
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)
In this work, blends of Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(1,6-hexanediol), PHD, were prepared in a wide composition range. They were examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Polarized Light Optical Microscopy ...
Tunable enzymatic biodegradation of poly(butylene succinate): biobased coatings and self-degradable films
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Biodegradation of polyesters driven by enzymes is considered as one of the most effective way of degradation of these materials, as a way to control plastics accumulation in the environment. In this study, we present two ...
Crystallization, morphology and self-assembly of double, triple and tetra crystalline block polymers
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
This review compiles a comprehensive analysis of the crystallization behaviour and self-assembly of block copolymers with up to four potentially crystallizable phases. It covers the recent advances in block copolymer ...
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 ...
