Generation of nanocomposites based on polystyrene grafted CdSe nanoparticles by grafting through and block copolymer
(Springer Nature, 2013-02-23)
Continuing with our previous work, in which CdSe nanoparticles were functionalized with polystyrene (PS) brushes (CdSe-PS) by grafting through method, nanocomposites were prepared by adding them to a poly (styrene-b-buta ...
Hybrid and biocompatible cellulose/polyurethane nanocomposites with water-activated shape memory properties
(Elsevier, 2019-04-03)
[EN] Water-activated shape memory bacterial cellulose/polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared by the immersion of bacterial cellulose (BC) wet membranes into waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) dispersions for different times. ...
Enhanced stability of photo-induced anisotropy due to intermolecular interactions in an azo-prepolymer confined in block copolymer
(Elsevier, 2013-02-08)
Many efforts in the field of azobenzene-containing polymers are concentrated on exploring new material concepts to obtain efficient and stable photo-induced anisotropy. Here, an easy approach to improve the birefringent ...
Hybrid materials based on azopolymer and sol-gel synthesized silver-containing titanium oxide nanoparticles with photoinduced birefringence
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01-28)
The main goal of this work was the development of novel nanocomposite films with different optical
properties. A non-toxic water soluble azopolymer was modified with TiO2 nanoparticles and silver containing TiO2 nanoparticles. ...
Enzymatically produced cellulose nanocrystals as reinforcement for waterborne polyurethane and its applications
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-02)
[EN] Waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) have been proposed as ecofriendly elastomers with several applications in coatings and adhesives. WBPU’s physicochemical properties can be enhanced by the addition of cellulose ...
Properties of flexible polyurethane foams with isocyanate functionalized lignin
(Elsevier, 2017-02-20)
A commercial kraft lignin (k-lignin) was successfully functionalized by means of the reaction of an isocyanate group from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with hydroxyl groups present in lignin (k-IPDI), for their further ...
Thermally-responsive biopolyurethanes from a biobased diisocyanate
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
In this work, segmented biopolyurethanes with thermally-activated shape-memory properties were synthesized and characterized. All the employed starting materials were derived from renewable sources. The macrodiol, which ...
Thermoplastic polyurethanes with glycolysate intermediates from polyurethane waste recycling.
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
The polyol is a major component in polyurethane formulations and therefore introducing to the formulation recycled polyol (obtained during decomposition process) allows decreasing the usage of pure petrochemical components. ...
The effect of the carboxylation degree on cellulose nanofibers and waterborne polyurethane/cellulose nanofiber nanocomposites properties
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-03)
[EN] There has been an exponential rise in the interest for waterborne polyurethanes (WBPU), due to the easy customizability of their properties and their ecofriendly nature. Moreover, their aqueous state facilitates the ...
Optically active multilayer films based on chitosan and an azopolymer
(2014-02-24)
The layer-by-layer technique has been widely adopted for the fabrication of nanostructures with tailored properties. In this work, photoactive multilayer films consisting of alternating layers of chitosan and an azopolymer ...
