Janus 3D Printed Dynamic Scaffolds for Nanovibration-Driven Bone Regeneration
(Nature, 2021-02-15)
The application of physical stimuli to cell cultures has shown potential to modulate multiple cellular functions including migration, differentiation and survival. However, the relevance of these invitro models to future ...
Poly(ionic liquid)–ionic liquid membranes with fluorosulfonyl derived anions: characterization and biohydrogen separation
(ACS, 2020-04-21)
Clean and sustainable energy production has become a key global issue concerning the world’s energy shortage and environmental problematic. Despite the recognized potential of biohydrogen (bioH2) for sustainable development, ...
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 ...
Suppression of the Self-Nucleation Effect of Semicrystalline Polymers by Confinement
(ACS, 2021-04-15)
The melt memory effect is well-known in polymer crystallization. It is caused by self-nuclei that
persist above the melting temperature. The origin and physical nature of self-nuclei are still under
debate. In this work, ...
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 ...
Synthesis, Structure and Crystallization Behavior of Amphiphilic Hetero-arm Molecular Brushes with Crystallizable Poly(ethylene oxide) and N-Alkyl Side Chains
(ACS, 2020-02-24)
A series of hetero-arm amphiphilic molecular brushes (AMBs) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and long chain n-alkyl side chains were synthesized via conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) of mainly 4-vinyl benzyl-PEG ...
Crystallization, Orientation and Solid−Solid Crystal Transition of Polybutene‐1 Confined within Nanoporous Alumina
(ACS, 2020-07-31)
The effect of confinement on the crystallization, crystal orientation, and polymorphic crystal transition of bulk and infiltrated polybutene-1 (PB-1) within nanoporous alumina templates (AAO) were studied. After cooling ...
Effect of the crystallization conditions on the exclusion/inclusion balance in biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene adipate) copolymers
(ACS, 2020-07-14)
Biomedical applications of polymers require precise control of the solid-state structure, which is of particular interest for biodegradable copolymers. In this work, we evaluated the influence of crystallization conditions ...
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 ...
Accelerating the crystallization kinetics of linear polylactides by adding cyclic poly (L-lactide): Nucleation, plasticization and topological effects
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-07-10)
Polylactide is one of the most versatile biopolymers, but its slow crystallization limits its temperature usage range. Hence finding ways to enhance it is crucial to widen its applications. Linear and cyclic poly (L-lactide) ...
