Towards a new generation of non-cytotoxic shape memory thermoplastic polyurethanes for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In recent decades, the technology of polymeric materials used in biomedical applications has been greatly improved, replacing the metals that had been used until now. This change has not only meant an improvement in the ...
Ionic Inter-Particle Complexation Effect on the Performance of Waterborne Coatings
(MDPI, 2021-09-14)
The performance of waterborne (meth)acrylic coatings is critically affected by the film formation process, in which the individual polymer particles must join to form a continuous film. Consequently, the waterborne polymers ...
Covalent Cross-Linking as a Strategy to Prepare Water-Dispersible Chitosan Nanogels
(MDPI, 2023-01-13)
Due to the environmental problems generated by petroleum derivative polymers as mentioned in Agenda 2030, the use of natural polymers is increasing. Among them, cellulose and chitin are the most widespread biopolymers ...
Toward Prediction of Financial Crashes with a D-Wave Quantum Annealer
(MDPI, 2023-02-10)
The prediction of financial crashes in a complex financial network is known to be an NP-hard problem, which means that no known algorithm can efficiently find optimal solutions. We experimentally explore a novel approach ...
Experimental and theoretical study of the effect of different functionalities of graphene oxide/polymer composites on selective CO2 capture
(Nature, 2022-01)
There is a constant need for versatile technologies to reduce the continuously increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, able to provide effective solutions under different conditions (temperature, pressure) and ...
In vivo multimodal imaging of adenosine A1 receptors in neuroinflammation after experimental stroke
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2021)
Adenosine A(l) receptors (A(l)ARs) are promising imaging biomarkers and targets for the treatment of stroke. Nevertheless, the role of A(l)ARs on ischemic damage and its subsequent neuroinflammatory response has been ...
One-Directional Antenna Systems: Energy Transfer from Monomers to JAggregates within 1D Nanoporous Aluminophosphates
(ACS, 2017-10-01)
A cyanine dye (PIC) was occluded into two 1D-nanopoporus Mg-containing aluminophosphates with different pore size (MgAPO-5 and MgAPO-36 with AFI and ATS zeolitic structure types, with cylindrical channels of 7.3 Å diameter ...
Tuning Light Emission towards White Light from a Naphthalenediimide-Based Entangled Metal-Organic Framework by Mixing Aromatic Guest Molecules
(MDPI, 2018-02)
Taking advantage of the outstanding properties of a naphthalenediimide-based entangled porous coordination polymer, a simple strategy for the achievement of white light emission is herein presented. The dynamic structural ...
Fast Driving of a Particle in Two Dimensions without Final Excitation
(MDPI, 2022-11-19)
Controlling the motional state of a particle in a multidimensional space is key for fundamental science and quantum technologies. Applying a recently found two-dimensional invariant combined with linear invariants, we ...
Magneto Twister: Magneto Deformation of the Water-Air Interface by a Superhydrophobic Magnetic Nanoparticle Layer
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Remote manipulation of superhydrophobic surfacesprovides fascinating features in water interface-related applications. Asuperhydrophobic magnetic nanoparticle colloid layer is able to float on the water-air interface ...
