Tailoring the isothermal crystallization kinetics of isodimorphic poly (butylene succinate-ran-butylene azelate) random copolymers by changing composition
(Elsevier, 2019-10-07)
A detailed isothermal crystallization study of biobased and biodegradable isodimorphic poly (butylene succinate-ran-butylene azelate) random copolyesters (PBS-ran-PBAz) with a wide composition range has been carried out ...
Segmental Dynamics Govern the Cold Crystallization of Poly(lactic acid) in Nanoporous Alumina
(ACS Publications, 2019-09-04)
How segmental mobility influences the crystallization behavior of polymers in confined spaces is still not fully understood. In the present work, a systematic study of the segmental dynamics was carried out by dielectric ...
Impact of MOF-5 on pyrrolidinium-based poly(ionic liquid)/ionic liquid membranes for biogas upgrading
(ACS, 2019-12-03)
Bearing in mind that Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have remarkable CO2 adsorption selectivity and Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) have been identified as potential solution for advancing the current state of the art of ...
Imidazolium-based co-poly(ionic liquid) membranes for CO2/N2 separation
(ACS, 2019-01-04)
The development of efficient carbon dioxide capture and separation technologies is at the fore front of the priorities in the climate change policies. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have been emerging as extremely promising ...
Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
Organocatalyzed Polymerization of PET-mb-poly(oxyhexane) Copolymers and Their Self-Assembly into Double Crystalline Superstructures
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-30)
Double crystalline multi-block copolymers exhibit two well-defined melting temperatures associated with the two phases formed by their constituent blocks. The crystalline superstructure formed in these copolymers is complex ...
Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends
(Elservier, 2019-06-13)
Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends ...
Brownian Dynamics Computational Model of Protein Diffusion in Crowded Media with Dextran Macromolecules as Obstacles
(MDPI, 2017-03-09)
The high concentration of macromolecules (i.e., macromolecular crowding) in cellular environments leads to large quantitative effects on the dynamic and equilibrium biological properties. These effects have been experimentally ...
Enantioselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide Dictated by Densely Substituted Aminoacids
(ACS, 2017-03-08)
Organocatalysis is becoming an important tool in
polymer science because of its versatility and specificity. To date
a limited number of organic catalysts have demonstrated the
ability to promote stereocontrolled ...
Single-ion conducting poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Wiley, 2019-09-25)
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SIPE) have attracted a lot of interest for application in high energy density lithium metal batteries. SIPEs possess lithium transport numbers close to unity, which does not ...
