Synthesis of mechanically strong waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s capable of self-healing at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Although various chemistries have been introduced into polyurethanes in order to obtain self-healing abilities, implementing these materials in applications requiring high strength is challenging as strong materials imply ...
Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Waterborne ABA Hard-Soft-Hard Block Copolymers Synthesized by Means of RAFT Miniemulsion Polymerization
(MDPI, 2019-08)
High molecular weight waterborne ABA block copolymers of styrene (St) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) containing hard and soft domains were synthesized by means of RAFT (mini)emulsion polymerization using a bifunctional ...
Characterization of Pediococcus ethanolidurans CUPV141: A b-D-glucan- and Heteropolysaccharide-Producing Bacterium
(Frontiers Media, 2018-09-04)
Pediococcus ethanolidurans CUPV141 is an exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacterium, first isolated from Basque Country cider (Spain). Physicochemical analysis of the EPS synthesized by the bacterium revealed ...
Beta-Glucans Improve Growth, Viability and Colonization of Probiotic Microorganisms
(MDPI, 2012-05-18)
Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are frequently-used components for the elaboration of functional food. Currently, most of the commercialized probiotics are limited to a few strains of the genera Bifidobacteria, ...
CO2-sourced polycarbonates as solid electrolytes for room temperature operating lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-19)
In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly(ethylene oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the design of CO2-sourced
polycarbonates ...
Study Of The Soluble Salts Formation In A Recently Restored House Of Pompeii By In-Situ Raman Spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01-25)
The walls and mural paintings of Pompeii exposed directly to the rainfalls are the most impacted in view of the observed decay. However, there are also wall paintings in protected rooms showing evidences of decaying. The ...
Twisted Aromatic Frameworks: Readily Exfoliable and Solution-Processable Two-Dimensional Conjugated Microporous Polymers
(Wiley VCH, 2017)
Twisted two-dimensional aromatic frameworks have been prepared by overcrowding the nodes with bulky and rigid substituents. The highly distorted aromatic framework with alternating out-of-plane substituents results in ...
Monodisperse N‐Doped Graphene Nanoribbons Reaching 7.7 Nanometers in Length
(Wiley VCH, 2018-01-15)
The properties of graphene nanoribbons are highly dependent on structural variables such as width, length, edge structure, and heteroatom doping. Therefore, atomic precision over all these variables is necessary for ...
A Thiadiazole-capped Nanoribbon with 18 Linearly-Fused Rings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-28)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend over 2 nm in one dimension are seen as monodisperse graphene nanoribbons, which have attracted significant attention for a broad range of applications in organic electronics and ...
Three Dimensional Nanoscale Analysis Reveals Aperiodic Mesopores in a Covalent Organic Framework and Conjugated Microporous Polymer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-02-14)
The integrated analytical approach developed in this study offers a powerful methodology for the structural characterisation of complex molecular nanomaterials. Structures of a covalent organic framework based on boronate ...
