Microtechnologies for Cell Microenvironment Control and Monitoring
(MDPI, 2017-06)
A great breadth of questions remains in cellular biology. Some questions cannot be answered using traditional analytical techniques and so demand the development of new tools for research. In the near future, the development ...
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) Derivatives: Innovative Conductive Polymers for Bioelectronics
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s are the conducting polymers (CP) with the biggest prospects in the field of bioelectronics due to their combination of characteristics (conductivity, stability, transparency and ...
Twisted Aromatic Frameworks: Readily Exfoliable and Solution-Processable Two-Dimensional Conjugated Microporous Polymers
(Wiley VCH, 2017)
Twisted two-dimensional aromatic frameworks have been prepared by overcrowding the nodes with bulky and rigid substituents. The highly distorted aromatic framework with alternating out-of-plane substituents results in ...
Temperature responsive PEG-based polyurethanes “ a la carte”
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)
Temperature responsive polymers able to alter their chemical or physical properties have been extensively
investigated. Most of these polymers have an alkane polymer backbone with only carbon-carbon
bonds. In this sense, ...
Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Soft Nanoparticles Obtained by Surfactant-Assisted Interfacial Polymerization
(ACS, 2017-01-24)
Polyurethanes (PUs) are considered ideal candidates for drug delivery applications due to their easy synthesis, excellent mechanical properties, and biodegradability. Unfortunately, methods for preparing well-defined PU ...
Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments
(Wiley, 2017-02-14)
Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of ...
Optimally refined isogeometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2017)
Performance of direct solvers strongly depends upon the employed discretization method. In particular, it is possible to improve the performance of solving Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) discretizations by introducing multiple ...
Manganese oxide catalysts for secondary zinc air batteries: from
(2017-02-09)
An efficient, durable and low cost air cathode with low polarization between the oxygen reduction
reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for a high performance and durable
secondary zinc-air ...
From classical to nonparametric growth models: Towards comprehensive modelling of mussel growth patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-03-18)
Understanding biological processes, such as growth, is crucial to development management and sustainability plans for bivalve populations. Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models have been commonly used to fit bivalve growth. ...
