Matching Rheology, Conductivity and Joule Effect in PU/CNT Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2021-03-19)
We investigated polyurethane (PU)–carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (PU/CNT) in a range of concentrations from 1 to 8 wt% CNT as hot melt adhesives. We studied the thermal properties of the nanocomposites, which is ...
Superlattices of Gadolinium and Bismuth Based Thallium Dichalcogenides as Potential Magnetic Topological Insulators
(MDPI, 2022-12-22)
Using relativistic spin-polarized density functional theory calculations we investigate magnetism, electronic structure and topology of the ternary thallium gadolinium dichalcogenides TlGdZ2 (Z= Se and Te) as well as ...
Polyurethane/acrylic hybrid dispersions containing phosphorus reactive flame retardants as transparent coatings for wood
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Phosphorus modified polyurethane/acrylic hybrid dispersions were prepared for flame retardant transparent wood coatings. The polymerisation was carried out in three steps. In the first one, the polyurethane was synthesised ...
Acoustic Plasmons in Nickel and Its Modification upon Hydrogen Uptake
(MDPI, 2022-12-28)
In this work, we study, in the framework of the ab initio linear-response time-dependent density functional theory, the low-energy collective electronic excitations with characteristic sound-like dispersion, called acoustic ...
Electronic and Self-healing Properties of Polymer-Inorganic Hybrids Enabled by Vapor Phase Infiltration.
(2022-12-19)
In this thesis we have developed a concept for the self-healing of metal oxides, which is the most challenging type of material in this research area. This concept consists of growing metal oxide nanoparticles inside the ...
Accelerating the Curing of Hybrid Poly(Hydroxy Urethane)-Epox y Adhesives by the Thiol-Epoxy Chemistry
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11)
The polyaddition between dicyclic carbonates and diamines leading to poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHUs) has emerged as the preferred method for the synthesis of green, non-isocyanate polyurethanes. However, when proposed for ...
Effect of compatibilizer addition on the surface nucleation of dispersed polyethylene droplets in a self-nucleated polypropylene matrix
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
A significant portion of the global plastics market encompasses the production of polyolefin materials and especially polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), as commodity polymers with a wide range of applications. ...
Phase separation in amino acid mixtures is governed by composition
(Cell Press, 2022-11)
Macromolecular phase separation has recently come to immense prominence as it is central to the formation of membraneless organelles, leading to a new paradigm of cellular organization. This type of phase transition, often ...
Statistical Analysis of Photoluminescence Decay Kinetics in Quantum Dot Ensembles: Effects of Inorganic Shell Composition and Environment
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
Discerning the kinetics of photoluminescence (PL) decay of packed quantum dots (QDs) and QD-based hybrid materials is of crucial importance for achieving their promising potential. However, the interpretation of the decay ...
Rheology of Polymer Processing in Spain (1995–2020)
(MDPI, 2021-07-14)
The contribution of Spanish scientists to the rheology involved in polymer processing during the last 25 years is investigated. It is shown that the performed research covers, at different levels, all industrial polymeric ...
