Waterborne Acrylate-Based Hybrid Coatings with Enhanced Resistance Properties on Stone Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-08)
The application of coating polymers to building materials is a simple and cheap way to preserve and protect surfaces from weathering phenomena. Due to its environmentally friendly character, waterborne coating is the most ...
One-Pot Synthesis of Waterborne Polymeric Dispersions Stabilized with Alkali-Soluble Resins
(MDPI, 2018-01)
Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a type of electrosteric emulsifiers of high interest because they can profitably improve the features of waterborne dispersions. In this work, they have been synthesized in-situ through a ...
Fructose-Based Acrylic Copolymers by Emulsion Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-05)
The exploration of a renewable resource for the preparation of waterborne copolymers was conducted. Low molar mass sugar resources were selected for their wide availability. A fructose-based monomer (MF) bearing a methacrylate ...
Stereocomplexed PLA microspheres: Control over morphology, drug encapsulation and anticancer activity
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death because of smoking and air pollution. Therefore, new ideas should be provided for lung cancer treatment in which the delivery of anticancer drugs to the local tumor site can ...
Influence of Alkyl Chains of Modified Polysuccinimide‐Based Polycationic Polymers on Polyplex Formation and Transfection
(Wiley, 2019-10)
The development of polymers with low toxicity and efficient gene delivery remains a significant barrier of nonviral gene therapy. Modification and tuning of chemical structures of carriers is an attractive strategy for ...
Selective Immobilization of Fluorescent Proteins for the Fabrication of Photoactive Materials
(MDPI, 2019-08)
The immobilization of fluorescent proteins is a key technology enabling to fabricate a new generation of photoactive materials with potential technological applications. Herein we have exploited superfolder green (sGFP) ...
Tunable Polymeric Scaffolds for Enzyme Immobilization
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
The number of methodologies for the immobilization of enzymes using polymeric supports is continuously growing due to the developments in the fields of biotechnology, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology in the last years. ...
Hetero-Diels-Alder Cycloaddition with RAFT Polymers as Bioconjugation Platform
(Wiley, 2020-11-02)
We introduce the bioconjugation of polymers synthesized by RAFT polymerization, bearing no specific functional end group, by means of hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition through their inherent terminal thiocarbonylthio moiety ...
Quantitative Determination of Acrolein in Cider by 1H NMR Spectrometry
(MDPI, 2020-12-08)
Acrolein occasionally appears in cider, completely spoiling its quality due to its bitter taste. It is crucial to detect it in the early steps, before the taste is severely affected, to apply the appropriate treatment. A ...
Manipulating chemistry through nanoparticle morphology
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-01-01)
We demonstrate that the protonation chemistry of molecules adsorbed at nanometer distances from the surface of anisotropic gold nanoparticles can be manipulated through the effect of surface morphology on the local proton ...
