Dual crosslinking of low-methoxyl pectin by calcium and europium for the simultaneous removal of pharmaceuticals and divalent heavy metals
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
The contamination of water resources by heavy metals and pharmaceuticals is a significant threat to human health and the environment. Pectin is a promising material for removing heavy metals from water. However, its removal ...
Challenging isodimorphism concepts: Formation of three crystalline phases in Poly(hexamethylene-ran-octamethylene carbonate) copolymers
(ACS, 2023-10)
In this work, poly(hexamethylene-ran-octamethylene carbonate) copolycarbonates were synthesized by melt polycondensation in a wide range of compositions. The copolymers displayed some of the characteristic isodimorphic ...
Exploiting the use of the decarboxylative S-alkylation reaction to produce self-blowing, recyclable polycarbonate foams
(Wiley, 2023-10)
Polymeric foams are widely used in many industrial applications due to their light weight and superior thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. Currently, increasing research efforts is being directed towards the ...
Unexpected trends in halogen-bond based noncovalent adducts
(RSC, 2012-06-14)
Unexpected trends in the strengths of halogen-bond based adducts of CY3I (Y = F, Cl, Br, I) with two typical Lewis bases (chloride and trimethylamine) show that the halogen-bond donor strength (Lewis acidity) of a compound ...
Reverse intersystem crossing mechanisms in doped triangulenes
(RSC, 2024-03)
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has emerged as one of the most promising strategies in the quest for organic light emitting diodes with optimal performance. This computational study dissects the mechanistic ...
Printable Single-Ion Polymer Nanoparticle Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries
(Wiley, 2024-03)
New material solutions are searched for the manufacturing and safety of current batteries. Herein, an extrusion printable polymer separator for lithium batteries based on single-ion polymer electrolytes is presented. The ...
Crystallization kinetics of semiconducting poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)-thieno-[3,2-b]thiophene) (PBTTT) from its different liquid phases
(RSC, 2024)
Because the electronic properties of semiconducting polymers are inexorably linked to their solid-state microstructure, it is imperative to understand their complex crystallization processes fully. For example, ...
All-Polymer Nanocomposite as Salt-Free Solid Electrolyte for Lithium Metal Batteries
(ACS, 2024-01)
Solid polymer electrolytes that combine both a high lithium-ion transference number and mechanical properties at high temperatures are searched for improving the performance of batteries. Here, we show a salt-free all-polymer ...
UV-curable acrylic end-capped amphoteric waterborne polyurethane coatings
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Waterborne polyurethane dispersions (WPUs) are environmentally friendly coatings since they present low amount of volatile organic compound amounts (VOCs). In the majority of the WPUs the dispersions are balanced with ...
Fast Visible-Light 3D Printing of Conductive PEDOT:PSS Hydrogels
(Wiley, 2024-01)
Functional inks for light-based 3D printing are actively being searched for being able to exploit all the potentialities of additive manufacturing. Herein, a fast visible-light photopolymerization process is showed of ...
