Advances and Applications of Block Copolymers
(MDPI, 2023-07-02)
Polymers are materials that have constantly evolved from the beginning of their discovery until the present day. During the last few decades, polymers have been used in many areas of science and cutting-edge research and ...
Polyphenol Iongel Patches with Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
(MDPI, 2023-02-21)
There is an actual need for developing materials for wound healing applications with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, or antibacterial properties in order to improve the healing performance. In this work, we report the ...
Polyethylene Oxide/Sodium Sulfonamide Polymethacrylate Blends as Highly Conducting Single-Ion Solid Polymer Electrolytes
(American Chemical Society, 2023-04)
In this work, blends of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and poly(sodium 1-[3-(methacryloyloxy)propylsulfonyl]-1-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) (PNaMTFSI) in different compositions were investigated for their application as ...
Mixed Ionic and Electronic Conducting Eutectogels for 3D-Printable Wearable Sensors and Bioelectrodes
(Wiley, 2022-10)
Eutectogels are a new class of soft ion conductive materials that are attracting attention as an alternative to conventional hydrogels and costly ionic liquid gels to build wearable sensors and bioelectrodes. Herein, the ...
Dual redox-active porous polyimides as high performance and versatile electrode material for next-generation batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-03)
Energy storage will be a primordial actor of the ecological transition initiated in the energy and transport sectors. As such, innovative approaches to design high-performance electrode materials are crucial for the ...
Beta-Glucans Improve Growth, Viability and Colonization of Probiotic Microorganisms
(MDPI, 2012-05-18)
Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are frequently-used components for the elaboration of functional food. Currently, most of the commercialized probiotics are limited to a few strains of the genera Bifidobacteria, ...
Exopolysaccharide-producing Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strains isolated from kefir as starter for functional dairy products
(Frontiers Media, 2023-02)
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by lactic acid bacteria are molecules of great interest for the dairy food industry. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CIDCA 8339, CIDCA 83123, and CIDCA 83124 are potentially probiotic strains ...
