Packaging materials with desired mechanical andbarrier properties and full chemical recyclability
(Nature, 2019-08-08)
Plastics have become indispensable in modern life and the material of choice in packaging applications, but they have also caused increasing plastic waste accumulation in oceans and landfills. Although there have been ...
Single-ion conducting poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Wiley, 2019-09-25)
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SIPE) have attracted a lot of interest for application in high energy density lithium metal batteries. SIPEs possess lithium transport numbers close to unity, which does not ...
Collective Motions and Mechanical Response of a Bulk of Single-Chain Nano-Particles Synthesized by Click-Chemistry
(MDPI, 2020-12-25)
We investigate the effect of intra-molecular cross-links on the properties of polymer bulks. To do this, we apply a combination of thermal, rheological, diffraction, and neutron spin echo experiments covering the inter-molecular ...
Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors Based on PEDOT:PolyDADMA and Organic Ionic Plastic Crystals
(MDPI, 2020-08-31)
Mixed ionic-electronic conductors, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are postulated to be the next generation materials in energy storage and electronic devices. Although many ...
Second-Row Transition-Metal Doping of (ZniSi), i = 12, 16 Nanoclusters: Structural and Magnetic Properties
(MDPI, 2013-11-14)
TM@ZniSi nanoclusters have been characterized by means of the Density
Functional Theory, in which Transition Metal (TM) stands from Y to Cd, and i = 12 and
16. These two nanoclusters have been chosen owing to their highly ...
Thermo-rheological effects on succesful 3D printing of biodegradable polyesters
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
Biodegradable polybutylene succinate (PBS) and poly (butylene succinate-ran-adipate) (PBSA) were characterized to find the thermo-rheological bases for 3D printing by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). In dynamic viscoelastic ...
Direct Identification of Three Crystalline Phases in PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA Triblock Terpolymer by In Situ Hot-Stage Atomic Force Microscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-08-04)
In this work, we provide a detailed description of the tri-lamellar nanoscale morphology of a triple crystalline PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA triblock terpolymer obtained by Hot-Stage Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) imaging and Wide ...
Nucleation of poly(lactide) partially wet droplets in ternary blends with poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone)
(ACS, 2020-02-25)
This work presents the first investigation on the crystallization behavior of partially wet droplets in immiscible ternary blends. Poly(lactide), poly(ε-caprolactone), and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL, and PBS, ...
Controlling the Isothermal Crystallization of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Random Copolymers by Varying Composition and Supercooling
(MDPI, 2019-12-20)
In this work, we study for the first time, the isothermal crystallization behavior of isodimorphic random poly(butylene succinate)-ran-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolyesters, PBS-ran-PCL, previously synthesized by us. We perform ...
Nucleation of Poly(lactide) on the Surface of Different Fibers
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-14)
The nucleation process of poly(lactide) (PLA) on a series of fibers was studied by means of in-situ Polarized Optical Microscope (POM) during crystallization. Several synthetic and natural fibers (PLLA stereocomplex fibers ...
