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 ...
New monitoring method to characterize individual modules in large photovoltaic systems
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems power losses are approximately 15-20% of the performance ratio for current PV systems. There are several reasons that explain PV modules failures, and since they are connected in series to the ...
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 ...
An FPGA-Based Neuro-Fuzzy Sensor for Personalized Driving Assistance
(MDPI, 2019-09-17)
Advanced driving-assistance systems (ADAS) are intended to automatize driver tasks, as well as improve driving and vehicle safety. This work proposes an intelligent neuro-fuzzy sensor for driving style (DS) recognition, ...
Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
In situ non-invasive multianalytical methodology to characterize mosaic tesserae from the House of Gilded Cupids, Pompeii
(Springer, 2019-12)
Mosaics, one of the most important decorative artworks in the Roman culture, were usually elaborated with a set of tesserae joined with lime or others binders to form geometric or figurative decorations. The identification ...
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 ...
Three Dimensional Nanoscale Analysis Reveals Aperiodic Mesopores in a Covalent Organic Framework and Conjugated Microporous Polymer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-02-14)
The integrated analytical approach developed in this study offers a powerful methodology for the structural characterisation of complex molecular nanomaterials. Structures of a covalent organic framework based on boronate ...
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 ...
