Fast successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) thermal fractionation protocol for the characterization of polyolefin blends from mechanical recycling
(Wiley, 2022-04-29)
The sorting stage of mechanical recycling of post-consumer polyolefins has severe challenges. Polypropylene (PP) is often contaminated with polyethylene (PE) and vice versa. To meet quality requirements, characterization ...
Synthesis, morphology, and crystallization kinetics of polyheptalactone (PHL)
(ACS, 2023-06)
Aliphatic polyesters are widely studied due to their excellent properties and low-cost production and also because, in many cases, they are biodegradable and/or recyclable. Therefore, expanding the range of available ...
Tailoring the nucleation and crystallization rate of polyhydroxybutyrate by copolymerization
(ACS, 2023-10)
In the polyester family, the biopolymer with the greatest industrial potential could be poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), which can be produced nowadays biologically or chemically. The scarce commercial use of PHB derives ...
The role of Eudragit® as a component of hydrogel formulations for medical devices
(RSC, 2023)
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in developing hydrogels as medical devices. By physically cross-linking pharmaceutically approved polymers into three-dimensional matrices, we can ensure their ...
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 ...
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 ...
Self-assembly and crystallization of double crystalline aliphatic thermoplastic biopolyurethane and its nucleation with cellulose nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
[EN] An aliphatic segmented thermoplastic biopolyurethane (STPU), based on aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3 propanediol (1,3PD) as urethane rich phase and a poly(sebacate) as a macrodiol phase, with ~50 ...
