Enantioselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide Dictated by Densely Substituted Aminoacids
(ACS, 2017-03-08)
Organocatalysis is becoming an important tool in
polymer science because of its versatility and specificity. To date
a limited number of organic catalysts have demonstrated the
ability to promote stereocontrolled ...
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 ...
Influence of Chemical Structures on Isodimorphic Behavior of Three Different Copolycarbonate Random Copolymer Series
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-10)
Three series of aliphatic random copolycarbonates, poly(heptane-co-dodecane carbonate) P7C-P12C, poly(butane-co-dodecane carbonate) P4C-P12C and poly(butane-co-heptane carbonate) P4C-P7C, were synthesized by two-step ...
Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
Organic-Acid Mediated Bulk Polymerization of e-Caprolactam and Its Copolymerization with e-Caprolactone
(Wiley, 2016-03-09)
Polyamides (PA) constitute one of the most important
classes of polymeric materials and have gained strong
position in different areas, such as textiles, fibers, and construction
materials. Whereas most PA are synthesized ...
Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
(RSC, 2016-02-16)
There is a growing interest to develop green synthetic pathways towards industrially relevant polymers
such as polyurethanes without the use of toxic and dangerous isocyanate monomers. The most promising
route towards ...
Temperature responsive PEG-based polyurethanes “ a la carte”
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)
Temperature responsive polymers able to alter their chemical or physical properties have been extensively
investigated. Most of these polymers have an alkane polymer backbone with only carbon-carbon
bonds. In this sense, ...
Biodegradable Polycarbonate Iongels for Electrophysiology Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-09)
In recent years, gels based on ionic liquids incorporated into polymer matrices, namely iongels, have emerged as long-term contact media for cutaneous electrophysiology. Iongels possess high ionic conductivity and negligible ...
Catechol End-Functionalized Polylactide by Organocatalyzed Ring-Opening Polymerization
(MDPI, 2018-02-06)
There is a great interest in incorporating catechol moieties into polymers in a controlled manner due to their interesting properties, such as the promotion of adhesion, redox activity or bioactivity. One possibility is ...
Unexpected Synthesis of Segmented Poly(hydroxyurea−urethane)s from Dicyclic Carbonates and Diamines by Organocatalysis
(ACS, 2018-07-17)
A complete study of the effect of different organocatalysts on the step-growth polyaddition of a five-membered
dicyclic carbonate, namely diglycerol dicarbonate, with a poly(ethylene glycol)-based diamine in bulk at 120 ...
