Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
The use of Sci-Hub in systematic reviews of the scholarly literature.
(Wiley, 2019-07-21)
Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
Optimization of Planar Mechanisms by using a Minimum Distance Function
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
The paper examines the application of a general minimum distance error function to the
dimensional kinematic synthesis of bidimensional mechanisms. The minimum distance ap-
proach makes it possible to solve the problem ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
A bayesian estimation of the economic effects of the Common Fisheries Policy on the Galician Fleet: a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium approach
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)
What would have happened if a relatively looser fisheries policy had been implemented in the
European Union (EU)? Using Bayesian methods a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model is estimated to assess the ...
Geological record of extreme floods and anthropogenic impacts on an industrialised bay: the inner Abra of Bilbao (northern Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)
The Bilbao estuary is one of the most polluted areas on the northern coast of Spain, owing to the direct disposal of urban effluents and waste waters from mining and industrial activities that has occurred during the last ...
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 ...
Understanding “plausibility”: A relational approach to the anticipatory heuristics of future scenarios
(Elsevier, 2019-05-13)
The creation of future scenarios is considered a valuable methodological tool for shaping the anticipatory governance of emerging technologies. Although plausibility is presented as a necessary (but not sufficient) criterion ...
Analysis of Cost-Effectiveness in the Provision of Air Navigation Services at Functional Air Blocks
(Sage Journals, 2019-08-25)
The Single European Sky (SES) legislation is intended to have a major impact on the fragmentation
in the European Air Traffic Management and Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (ATM/
CNS) system. A fundamental ...
