Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
Synthesis of mechanically strong waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s capable of self-healing at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Although various chemistries have been introduced into polyurethanes in order to obtain self-healing abilities, implementing these materials in applications requiring high strength is challenging as strong materials imply ...
CO2-sourced polycarbonates as solid electrolytes for room temperature operating lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-19)
In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly(ethylene oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the design of CO2-sourced
polycarbonates ...
Ionic Hydrogel for Accelerated Dopamine Delivery via Retrodialysis
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-29)
Local drug delivery directly to the source of a given pathology using retrodialysis is a promising approach to treating otherwise untreatable diseases. As the primary material component in retrodialysis, the semipermeable ...
UV-cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as free standing solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Elsevier, 2019-04-10)
Aliphatic polycarbonates have emerged as promising polymer electrolytes due to their combination of moderate ionic conductivity and high lithium transference numbers. However, the mechanical properties of the aliphatic ...
