Waterborne Acrylate-Based Hybrid Coatings with Enhanced Resistance Properties on Stone Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-08)
The application of coating polymers to building materials is a simple and cheap way to preserve and protect surfaces from weathering phenomena. Due to its environmentally friendly character, waterborne coating is the most ...
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 ...
One-Pot Synthesis of Waterborne Polymeric Dispersions Stabilized with Alkali-Soluble Resins
(MDPI, 2018-01)
Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a type of electrosteric emulsifiers of high interest because they can profitably improve the features of waterborne dispersions. In this work, they have been synthesized in-situ through a ...
Fructose-Based Acrylic Copolymers by Emulsion Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-05)
The exploration of a renewable resource for the preparation of waterborne copolymers was conducted. Low molar mass sugar resources were selected for their wide availability. A fructose-based monomer (MF) bearing a methacrylate ...
Stereocomplexed PLA microspheres: Control over morphology, drug encapsulation and anticancer activity
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death because of smoking and air pollution. Therefore, new ideas should be provided for lung cancer treatment in which the delivery of anticancer drugs to the local tumor site can ...
Influence of Alkyl Chains of Modified Polysuccinimide‐Based Polycationic Polymers on Polyplex Formation and Transfection
(Wiley, 2019-10)
The development of polymers with low toxicity and efficient gene delivery remains a significant barrier of nonviral gene therapy. Modification and tuning of chemical structures of carriers is an attractive strategy for ...
Selective Immobilization of Fluorescent Proteins for the Fabrication of Photoactive Materials
(MDPI, 2019-08)
The immobilization of fluorescent proteins is a key technology enabling to fabricate a new generation of photoactive materials with potential technological applications. Herein we have exploited superfolder green (sGFP) ...
GmcA Is a Putative Glucose-Methanol-Choline Oxidoreductase Required for the Induction of Asexual Development in Aspergillus nidulans
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-05)
Aspergillus nidulans asexual differentiation is induced by Upstream Developmental Activators (UDAs) that include the bZIP-type Transcription Factor (TF) FlbB. A 2D-PAGE/MS-MS-coupled screen for proteins differentially ...
UrdA Controls Secondary Metabolite Production and the Balance between Asexual and Sexual Development in Aspergillus Nidulans
(MDPI, 2018-11-23)
The genus Aspergillus includes important plant pathogens, opportunistic human pathogens and mycotoxigenic fungi. In these organisms, secondary metabolism and morphogenesis are subject to a complex genetic regulation. Here ...
Cytoplasmic Dynamics of the General Nuclear Import Machinery in Apically Growing Syncytial Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2013-12-20)
Karyophenns are transporters involved in the bidirectional, selective and active transport of macromolecules through nuclear pores. Importin-beta 1 is the paradigm of karyopherins and together with its cargo-adapter ...
