Mechanistic studies of a lipase unveil effect of pH on hydrolysis products of small PET modules
(Nature, 2023-06)
Biocatalysis is a key technology enabling plastic recycling. However, despite advances done in the development of plastic-degrading enzymes, the molecular mechanisms that govern their catalytic performance are poorly ...
Bio-based non-isocyanate poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHU) derived from vanillin and CO2
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-06)
As an alternative to the use of hazardous phosgene-based isocyanates for polyurethane preparation, non-isocyanate poly(hydroxy urethanes) (PHU) based on 5-membered cyclic carbonates have been developed. However, to date, ...
Proteomic Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Monocyte Co-Cultures Exposed to a Bioactive Silica-Based Sol–Gel Coating
(American Chemical Society, 2023-05)
New methodologies capable of extensively analyzing the cell-material interactions are necessary to improve current in vitro characterization methods, and proteomics is a viable alternative. Also, many studies are focused ...
Concentration fluctuations and broadening of the glass transition in dynamically asymmetric mixtures
(2023-01-31)
La presente tesis doctoral trata sobre la caracterización de mezclas poliméricas compuestas por elastómeros de estireno-butadieno (SBR) y oligómeros de poliestireno (PS), usando materiales con distinta composición isotópica ...
Tunable enzymatic biodegradation of poly(butylene succinate): biobased coatings and self-degradable films
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Biodegradation of polyesters driven by enzymes is considered as one of the most effective way of degradation of these materials, as a way to control plastics accumulation in the environment. In this study, we present two ...
Polymers and rheology: A tale of give and take
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Polymers and rheology were both born in the twenties of the last century, fruit of the disruptive and creative scientific atmosphere of this decade. The development of polymer science and technology in the last almost 100 ...
Crystallization, morphology and self-assembly of double, triple and tetra crystalline block polymers
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
This review compiles a comprehensive analysis of the crystallization behaviour and self-assembly of block copolymers with up to four potentially crystallizable phases. It covers the recent advances in block copolymer ...
Parameter and q asymptotics of Lq-norms of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials
(Wiley, 2023-01)
The three canonical families of the hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in a
continuous real variable (Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi) control the physical
wavefunctions of the bound stationary states of a great number ...
Evaluating Adsorbate–Solvent Interactions: Are Dispersion Corrections Necessary?
(American Chemical Society, 2023)
Incorporating solvent–adsorbate interactions is paramount in models of aqueous (electro)catalytic reactions. Although a number of techniques exist, they are either highly demanding in computational terms or inaccurate. ...
Anodic and Cathodic Platinum Dissolution Processes Involve Different Oxide Species
(Wiley, 2023-08)
The degradation of Pt-containing oxygen reduction catalysts for fuel cell applications is strongly linked to the electrochemical surface oxidation and reduction of Pt. Here, we study the surface restructuring and Pt ...
