Disentangling the role of electrons and phonons in the photoinduced CO desorption and CO oxidation on (O,CO)-Ru(0001)
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07)
The role played by electronic and phononic excitations in the femtosecond laser induced desorption and oxidation of CO coadsorbed with O on Ru(0001) is investigated using ab initio molecular dynamics with electronic friction. ...
Metal-free initiators pave the way for chemically recyclable polymers with industrially relevant properties
(Nature, 2023)
To solve the environmental disaster that is generated by legacy plastics accumulation, researchers are looking to design plastics
with enhanced end-of-life options, but many circular plastics do not meet industrial ...
Tailoring the nucleation and crystallization rate of polyhydroxybutyrate by copolymerization
(ACS, 2023-10)
In the polyester family, the biopolymer with the greatest industrial potential could be poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), which can be produced nowadays biologically or chemically. The scarce commercial use of PHB derives ...
The role of Eudragit® as a component of hydrogel formulations for medical devices
(RSC, 2023)
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in developing hydrogels as medical devices. By physically cross-linking pharmaceutically approved polymers into three-dimensional matrices, we can ensure their ...
Fluorescence Amplification of Unsaturated Oxazolones Using Palladium: Photophysical and Computational Studies
(ACS, 2023)
Weakly fluorescent (Z)-4-arylidene-5-(4H)-oxazolones (1), ΦPL < 0.1%, containing a variety of conjugated aromatic fragments and/or charged arylidene moieties, have been orthopalladated by reaction with Pd(OAc)2. The resulting ...
Structure of Single-Chain Nanoparticles under Crowding Conditions: A Random Phase Approximation Approach
(ACS, 2023-11)
The conformation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) and their corresponding linear precursors in the presence of deuterated linear PMMA in deuterated dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions ...
Dual crosslinking of low-methoxyl pectin by calcium and europium for the simultaneous removal of pharmaceuticals and divalent heavy metals
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
The contamination of water resources by heavy metals and pharmaceuticals is a significant threat to human health and the environment. Pectin is a promising material for removing heavy metals from water. However, its removal ...
Challenging isodimorphism concepts: Formation of three crystalline phases in Poly(hexamethylene-ran-octamethylene carbonate) copolymers
(ACS, 2023-10)
In this work, poly(hexamethylene-ran-octamethylene carbonate) copolycarbonates were synthesized by melt polycondensation in a wide range of compositions. The copolymers displayed some of the characteristic isodimorphic ...
Exploiting the use of the decarboxylative S-alkylation reaction to produce self-blowing, recyclable polycarbonate foams
(Wiley, 2023-10)
Polymeric foams are widely used in many industrial applications due to their light weight and superior thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. Currently, increasing research efforts is being directed towards the ...
Non-radical photopolymerizable systems; towards sustainable applications in light-mediated additive manufacturing
