Design of Waterborne Asymmetric Block Copolymers as Thermoresponsive Materials
(MDPI, 2020-05-30)
AB diblock waterborne copolymers made of styrene (St) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) were synthesized by means of two-step reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) (mini)emulsion polymerization. Monofunctional ...
Green Electrospinning of Polymer Latexes: A Systematic Study of the Effect of Latex Properties on Fiber Morphology
(MDPI, 2021-03-11)
Green electrospinning is a relatively new promising technology in which a polymer (latex) can be spun from an aqueous dispersion with the help of a template polymer. This method is a green, clean and safe technology that ...
Tracking Hydroplasticization by DSC: Movement of Water Domains Bound to Poly(Meth)Acrylates during Latex Film Formation
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
The film formation step of latexes constitutes one of the challenges of these environmentally friendly waterborne polymers, as the high glass transition (TG) polymers needed to produce hard films to be used as coatings ...
Thiophene-Based Trimers and Their Bioapplications: An Overview
(MDPI, 2021-06-16)
Certainly, the success of polythiophenes is due in the first place to their outstanding electronic properties and superior processability. Nevertheless, there are additional reasons that contribute to arouse the scientific ...
Taking Advantage of Phosphate Functionalized Waterborne Acrylic Binders to Get Rid of Inhibitors in Direct-to-Metal Paints
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
In this paper, two phosphate functionalized acrylic binders are formulated to yield direct-to-metal paints without using corrosion inhibitors. The difference between both binders is the addition of polystearylacrylate ...
Uptake and Effects of Graphene Oxide Nanomaterials Alone and in Combination with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Zebrafish
(Elsevier, 2021-06-25)
Because of its surface characteristics, once in the aquatic environment, graphene could act as a carrier of pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to aquatic organisms. In this study we aimed to (1) ...
Strategies to incorporate a fluorinated acrylate monomer into polymer particles: from particle morphology to film morphology and anticorrosion properties
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] Four strategies to incorporate a fluorinated monomer (perfluoro octyl acrylate, POA) into a waterborne polymeric dispersion are investigated. Due to the very low water solubility of the POA monomer, three of the ...
Incorporation of a Coumarate Based Corrosion Inhibitor in Waterborne Polymeric Binders for Corrosion Protection Applications
(Wiley, 2022-05)
The incorporation of organic corrosion inhibitors into waterborne coatings is optimized in this work. Herein, p-coumaric acid (4-hydroxycinnamic acid) is modified by a butyl radical and its effectiveness as an anticorrosive ...
Challenges to incorporate high contents of bio-based isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) into waterborne coatings
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Emulsion polymerization of (meth)acrylic bio-based monomers is a promising method to obtain waterborne coatings with reduced carbon footprint. However, the high hydrophobicity of some bio-based monomers can hinder the ...
Magnetic and Photoluminescent Sensors Based on Metal-Organic Frameworks Built up from 2-aminoisonicotinate
(2020-06-01)
In this work, three isostructural metal-organic frameworks based on first row transition metal ions and 2-aminoisonicotinate (2ain) ligands, namely, {[M(mu-2ain)2]·DMF}n [MII=Co (1), Ni (2), Zn (3)], are evaluated for their ...
