Elastic and Thermoreversible Iongels by Supramolecular PVA/Phenol Interactions
(Wiley, 2020-06-28)
Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with ...
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 ...
Synthesis of Redox Polymer Nanoparticles Based on Poly(vinylcatechols) and Their Electroactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11-12)
Organic materials are being investigated as an alternative to inorganic cathodes in lithium batteries with the promise of higher sustainability as well as increased theoretical capacity. Among organic materials, redox ...
Magnetic Microwires with Unique Combination of Magnetic Properties Suitable for Various Magnetic Sensor Applications
(MDPI, 2020-12-16)
There is a pressing demand to improve the performance of cost-effective soft magnetic materials for use in high performance sensors and devices. Giant Magneto-impedance effect (GMI), or fast single domain wall (DW) propagation ...
Aluminum's preferential binding site in proteins: sidechain of amino acids versus backbone interactions
(Elsevier, 2017-11-11)
The interaction of aluminum ion Al(III) with polypeptides is a subject of paramount importance, since it is a central feature to understand its deleterious effects in biological systems. Various drastic effects have been ...
Competitive binding of HIF-1α and CITED2 to the TAZ1 domain of CBP from molecular simulations
(RSC, 2020-04-03)
Many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are involved in complex signalling networks inside the cell. Their particular binding modes elicit different types of responses that can be subtly regulated. Here we study the ...
Improving the barrier character of poly(caprolactone): transport properties and free volume of immiscible blends
(Elsevier, 2019-03-11)
Miscible and thermally stable blends of biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) with poly(hydroxy ether of bisphenol A) (PH) are investigated to obtain membranes for packaging applications. Previously ...
Miscibility and degradation of polymer blends based on biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)
(Elsevier, 2018-02-21)
The aim of this work is to analyse the effect of the preparation method on the miscibility of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and poly(hydroxy ether of bisphenol A) (PH) blends and to provide a better ...
Influence of the rigid amorphous fraction and crystallinity on polylactides transport properties
(ACS, 2018-05-15)
The effect of the crystallinity and polymorphism of PLLA and PDLA-PLLA 50:50 blends on the free volume and transport properties have been studied. In the case of PDLA-PLLA 50:50 the increase on crystallinity promotes a ...
