A Wavy Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework from Core- Twisted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(ACS, 2019-09-11)
A high degree of crystallinity is an essential aspect in two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, as many properties depend strongly on the structural arrangement of the different layers and their constituents. We ...
Catechol-containing acrylic Poly(ionic liquid) Hydrogels as Bioinspired Filters for Water Decontamination
(ACS, 2019-06-13)
Mussel inspired catechol containing materials have currently drawn great attention as biomaterials, adhesives, surface coating and in bioelectronics, among other applications. In this work, we mimicked the ability of mussels ...
Impacts of dietary exposure to different sized polystyrene microplastics alone and with sorbed benzo[a]pyrene on biomarkers and whole organism responses in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Elsevier, 2019-09-20)
Due to their hydrophobicity and relatively large surface area, microplastics (MPs) can act as carriers of hydrophobic pollutants in the ocean and may facilitate their transfer to organisms. This study examined effects of ...
A Thiadiazole-capped Nanoribbon with 18 Linearly-Fused Rings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-28)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend over 2 nm in one dimension are seen as monodisperse graphene nanoribbons, which have attracted significant attention for a broad range of applications in organic electronics and ...
Isomorphic polyoxyalkylenes copolyethers obtained by copolymerization of aliphatic diols
(American Chemical Society, 2019-05-01)
Isomorphism in random copolymers occurs when comonomer units can crystallize within a single crystalline lattice in the entire composition range. This ideal behavior is rare in random copolymers and only a few examples of ...
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 ...
Polyether Synthesis by Bulk Self-Condensation of Diols Catalyzed by Non-eutectic Acid Base Organocatalysts
(American Chemical Society, 2019-01-25)
Polyethers constitute a well-established class of polymers covering a wide range of applications from industrial man-ufacturing to nanomedicine. Nevertheless, their industrial implementation is limited to short chain ...
Charge transport modulation in pseudorotaxane 1D stacks of acene and azaacene derivatives
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-07)
Acenes have received a lot of attention because of their inherent and tunable absorbing, emissive, and charge transport properties for electronic, photovoltaic, and singlet fission applications, among others. Such properties ...
3D Scaffolds Based on Conductive Polymers for Biomedical Applications
(ACS Publications, 2019-01-14)
3D scaffolds appear to be a cost-effective ultimate answer
for biomedical applications, facilitating rapid results while providing an
environment similar to in vivo tissue. These biomaterials offer large
surface areas ...
Innovative Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids and Polymers for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries
(ACS, 2019-02-25)
Electrolytes based on organic solvents used in current Li-ion batteries are not compatible with the next-generation energy storage technologies including those based on Li metal. Thus, there has been an increase in research ...
