Recyclable, remendable and healing polyurethane/acrylic coatings from UV curable waterborne dispersions containing Diels-‐Alder moieties
(Elsevier, 2020-02-01)
The aim of the present work is to increase the sustainability of UV curable waterborne polyurethane dispersions using the Diels-Alder chemistry. In this way, the obtaining of crosslinked polyurethane coatings presenting ...
High-Performance All-Organic Aqueous Batteries Based on a Poly(Imide) Anode and Poly(Catechol) Cathode
(RSC, 2021-01-07)
Aqueous all-polymer batteries (AqPBs) are foreseen as promising solutions for safe, sustainable, and high-performance energy storage applications. Nevertheless, their development is still challenging as it demands precise ...
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers with tuneable barrier properties for packaging applications
(Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers have been synthetized employing two metallic catalysts, Ph3Bi and SnOct2. The analysis of the microstructure by NMR reveals that gradient like copolymers are obtained with SnOct2 catalyst, ...
Tributyl citrate as an effective plasticizer for biodegradable polymers: effect of the plasticizer on the free volume, transport and mechanical properties
(Society of Chemical Industry. Wiley, 2018-06-16)
The effectiveness of tributyl citrate (TbC) as plasticizer for polylactide (PLLA) and poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was analyzed in order to improve the ductility of these polymers and make them good candidates for food ...
Polydimethylsiloxane containing waterborne hydrophobic polyurethane coatings with good adhesion to metals: synthesis and characterization
(Elsevier, 2021-10-22)
Waterborne polyurethanes (WPU) are of great importance in the industrial field as adhesives and coatings due to reduced use of organic solvents in their formulations. One of the main drawbacks of these formulations is their ...
One pot stimuli-responsive linear waterborne polyurethanes via Diels-Alder reaction
(Elsevier, 2019-01-25)
Different strategies were used to obtain waterborne polyurethanes containing Diels-Alder moieties. In the first one (two pot), furan and maleimide end capped waterborne polyurethane dispersions were synthesized with the ...
Self-assembly of a patterned hydrophobic-hydrophilic surface by soft segment microphase separation in a segmented polyurethane: Combined experimental study and molecular dynamics simulation
(Elsevier, 2020-03-30)
Designing surfaces with patterns of varying wettability is of significant importance for many applications. This fascinating feature is inspired from nature where it is absolutely vital for survival of some living creatures. ...
Self-assembling endohedrally doped CdS nanoclusters: new porous solid phases of CdS
(RSC, 2012-06-08)
Hollow CdS nanoclusters were predicted to trap alkali metals and halogen atoms inside their cavity. Furthermore, electron affinities (EA) of endohedrally halogen doped clusters and ionization potentials (IE) of endohedrally ...
Microscopic Evidence for the Topological Transition in Model Vitrimers
(ACS, 2023-11)
In addition to the glass transition, vitrimers undergo a topological transition from viscoelastic liquid to viscoelastic solid behavior when the network rearrangements facilitated by dynamic bond exchange reactions freeze. ...
Deciphering the chemical bonding of the trivalent oxygen atom in oxygen doped graphene
(RSC, 2024)
Recently, planar and neutral tricoordinated oxygen embedded in graphene has been imaged experimentally (Nat. Commun., 2019, 10, 4570–4577). In this work, this unusual chemical species is studied utilizing a variety of ...
