Gold Nanoclusters Synthesized within Single-Chain Nanoparticles as Catalytic Nanoreactors in Water
(MDPI, 2024-01-30)
Metalloenzymes are able to catalyze complex biochemical reactions in cellular (aqueous) media with high efficiency. In recent years, a variety of metal-containing single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) have been synthesized ...
3D Printing of Vinylogous Urethane-Based Methacrylic Covalent Adaptable Networks by Vat Photopolymerization
(ACS, 2024)
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) have the potential to combine the excellent mechanical properties of traditional thermoset materials with the reprocessability of traditional thermoplastics. However, the processing of ...
Hetero-functionalization of polyitaconates for developing improved polymer dielectrics: Merging sulfones with bulky/rigid cycles
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
This work addresses the preparation of new polymer dielectrics working under the dipolar glass polymer (DGP) concept. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of four hetero-functionalized polyitaconates bearing ...
Making Room for Silicon: Including SiOx in a Graphite-Based Anode Formulation and Harmonization in 1 Ah Cells
(MDPI, 2024-03-28)
Transitioning to more ambitious electrode formulations facilitates developing high-energy density cells, potentially fulfilling the demands of electric car manufacturers. In this context, the partial replacement of the ...
Optimization of Giant Magnetoimpedance Effect of Amorphous Microwires by Postprocessing
(MDPI, 2024-03-12)
Magnetic microwires with amorphous structures can present a unique combination of excellent magnetic softness and giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effects together with reduced dimensions and good mechanical properties. Such ...
Monitoring the Velocity of Domain Wall Motion in Magnetic Microwires
(MDPI, 2024-02-19)
An approach was proposed to control the displacement of domain walls in magnetic microwires, which are employed in magnetic sensors. The velocity of the domain wall can be altered by the interaction of two magnetic microwires ...
Reducing the carbon footprint of polyurethanes by chemical and biological depolymerization: Fact or fiction?
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
Polyurethanes (PUs) are one of the most widely employed classes of polymers, with a continuously increasing production demand that is expected to reach around 21 million tons in 2022. Due to the simple polymerization process ...
Overcoming the Limitations of Organocatalyzed Glycolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) to Facilitate the Recycling of Complex Waste Under Mild Conditions
(ACS, 2024-03)
Although multiple methods have been reported in the literature for the chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), large-scale depolymerization is not yet widely employed. The main reasons for the limited ...
Degradable Alternating Copolymers by Radical Copolymerization of 2-Methylen-1,3-dioxepane and Crotonate Esters
(ACS, 2024-03)
Producing backbone degradable copolymers via free-radical copolymerization is a promising, yet challenging method to develop more sustainable materials for many applications. In this work, we present the copolymerization ...
Boosting the Reactivity of Bis-Lactones to Enable Step-Growth Polymerization at Room Temperature
(ACS, 2024-03)
The development of new sustainable polymeric materials endowed with improved performances but minimal environmental impact is a major concern, with polyesters as primary targets. Lactones are key monomers thanks to ...
