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) ...
Polyglutamic acid-based Crosslinked Doxorubicin Nanogels as an Anti-Metastatic Treatment for Triple Negative Breast Cancer
(Elsevier, 2021-02-13)
Treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)-associated metastasis represents an unmet clinical need, and we lack effective therapeutics for a disease that exhibits high relapse rates and associates with poor patient ...
Petrographic-Mineralogical Characterization of Archaeological Materials from “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum Sited in the Open Museum of Ostia Antica
(MDPI, 2021-06-20)
Mithraea, religious Roman buildings, are very common in Italian archeological sites. There are sixteen in Ostia Antica (Rome, Italy)The poor state of conservation, due to the intrinsic environmental conditions, characterized ...
Metal-Organic Enzyme Nanogels as Nanointegrated Self-Reporting Chemobiosensors
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] A fluorometric glucose biosensor based on fine-tuned chemoenzymatic nanohybrids is herein proposed. The successful integration of an engineered glucose oxidase enzyme and an optically responsive polymeric nanogel in ...
CO2 Capture by Reduced Graphene Oxide Monoliths with Incorporated CeO2 Grafted with Functionalized Polymer Brushes
(MDPI, 2021-11-24)
The monolithic materials of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be used successfully in CO2 adsorption. Here, the incorporation of CeO2 particles with and without polymer brushes grafted from the particles showed that the ...
