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 ...
Polyether Synthesis by Bulk Self-Condensation of Diols Catalyzed by Non-eutectic Acid Base Organocatalysts
(American Chemical Society, 2019-01-25)
Polyethers constitute a well-established class of polymers covering a wide range of applications from industrial man-ufacturing to nanomedicine. Nevertheless, their industrial implementation is limited to short chain ...
Cation Effect in the Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Coumarate Ionic Liquids and Acrylic UV-Coatings
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
Chromate free corrosion inhibitors are searched for to mitigate the economic loss caused by mid-steel corrosion. Here, we show metal-free organic inhibitors having free coumarate anions that can be used either as direct ...
Exclusive Substitutional Nitrogen Doping on Graphene Decoupled from an Insulating Substrate
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-08)
The on-surface synthesis of atomically flat N-doped graphene on oxidized copper is presented. Besides circumventing the almost standard use of metallic substrates for growth, this method allows producing graphene with ...
Innovative Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids and Polymers for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries
(ACS, 2019-02-25)
Electrolytes based on organic solvents used in current Li-ion batteries are not compatible with the next-generation energy storage technologies including those based on Li metal. Thus, there has been an increase in research ...
Emerging Ionic Soft Materials based on Deep Eutectic Solvents
(ACS, 2020-07-21)
In the last five years, the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been opening new perspectives towards the creation of novel ionic soft materials as alternatives to expensive ionic liquids. This Mini-Review highlights ...
Decoupled Ion Mobility in Nano-Confined Ionic Plastic Crystal
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Nanoconfined ions have dramatically different local environments compared to the bulk, which profoundly affects the ion solvation and transport properties taking place in the confined space. Herein, we investigate the ...
Tailored CO2-philic Anionic Poly(ionic liquid) Composite Membranes: Synthesis, Characterization and Gas Transport Properties
(ACS, 2020-03-25)
Polymeric membranes either containing, or built from, ionic liquids (ILs) are of great interest for enhanced CO2/light gas separation due to the stronger affinity of ILs toward quadrupolar CO2 molecules, and hence, high ...
Microstructural control suppresses thermal activation of electron transport at room temperature in polymer transistors
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-07-29)
Recent demonstrations of inverted thermal activation of charge mobility in polymer field-effect transistors have excited the interest in transport regimes not limited by thermal barriers. However, rationalization of the ...
Influence of Anion Structure on Thermal, Mechanical and CO2 Solubility Properties of UV-Cross-Linked Poly(ethylene glycol) Diacrylate Iongels
(MDPI, 2020-03-17)
Iongel-based CO2 separation membranes were prepared by fast (< 1 min) UV-initiated polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) in the presence of different ionic liquids (ILs) with the [C2mim]+ cation and ...
