[EN] This review highlights the most important advances in the development and manufacture of advanced hybrid polymer-inorganic layered anticorrosion coatings for marine applications. These newly hybrid anticorrosion systems ...
Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Membranes for Photocatalytic Water Remediation
(MDPI, 2022-01-29)
Mismanagement, pollution and excessive use have depleted the world’s water resources, producing a shortage that in some territories is extreme. In this context, the need for potable water prompts the development of new and ...
Reversible First-Order Single Crystal to Single Crystal Thermal Phase Transition in [(CH3)3CNH3]4[V4O12]
(MDPI, 2022-08-17)
[EN] The well-known compound tetrakis(tert-butylammonium)-cyclo-tetrametavanadate (V), [(CH3)3CNH3]4[V4O12] (1h_RT), which crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group, undergoes an irreversible solid state transformation ...
Electro and magnetoactive printed bi-functional actuators based on alginate hybrid hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Soft materials are attracting much attention for the development of biostructures able to mimic the movement of natural systems by remote actuation. Multi-sensitive hydrogels are among the best materials for obtaining ...
Dynamic and Self-Healable Chitosan/Hyaluronic Acid-Based In Situ-Forming Hydrogels
(MDPI, 2022-07-29)
In situ-forming, biodegradable, and self-healing hydrogels, which maintain their integrity after damage, owing to dynamic interactions, are essential biomaterials for bioapplications, such as tissue engineering and drug ...
Photocrosslinkable and self-healable hydrogels of chitosan and hyaluronic acid.
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogels with biomimetic properties, such as self-repairing, are increasingly interesting for biomedical applications, particularly when they can be printed or in situ formed to mimic ...
Size Effect in Hybrid TiO2:Au Nanostars for Photocatalytic Water Remediation Applications
(MDPI, 2022-11-08)
TiO2:Au-based photocatalysis represents a promising alternative to remove contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from wastewater under sunlight irradiation. However, spherical Au nanoparticles, generally used to sensitize ...
