Enhancing the Photocatalytic Conversion of Pt(IV) Substrates by Flavoprotein Engineering
(ACS, 2021-05-07)
Our recent work demonstrates that certain flavoproteins can catalyze the redox activation of Pt(IV) prodrug complexes under light irradiation. Herein, we used site-directed mutagenesis on the mini singlet oxygen generator ...
Lignin solvation by ionic liquids: The role of cation
(Elsevier, 2020-01-30)
The use of ionic liquids as solvents for the processing of lignocellulosic material has received considerable attention in the last years, since it presents remarkable advantages over previous solvent-based procedures. In ...
Recyclable, remendable and healing polyurethane/acrylic coatings from UV curable waterborne dispersions containing Diels-‐Alder moieties
(Elsevier, 2020-02-01)
The aim of the present work is to increase the sustainability of UV curable waterborne polyurethane dispersions using the Diels-Alder chemistry. In this way, the obtaining of crosslinked polyurethane coatings presenting ...
High-Performance All-Organic Aqueous Batteries Based on a Poly(Imide) Anode and Poly(Catechol) Cathode
(RSC, 2021-01-07)
Aqueous all-polymer batteries (AqPBs) are foreseen as promising solutions for safe, sustainable, and high-performance energy storage applications. Nevertheless, their development is still challenging as it demands precise ...
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers with tuneable barrier properties for packaging applications
(Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers have been synthetized employing two metallic catalysts, Ph3Bi and SnOct2. The analysis of the microstructure by NMR reveals that gradient like copolymers are obtained with SnOct2 catalyst, ...
Polydimethylsiloxane containing waterborne hydrophobic polyurethane coatings with good adhesion to metals: synthesis and characterization
(Elsevier, 2021-10-22)
Waterborne polyurethanes (WPU) are of great importance in the industrial field as adhesives and coatings due to reduced use of organic solvents in their formulations. One of the main drawbacks of these formulations is their ...
Self-assembly of a patterned hydrophobic-hydrophilic surface by soft segment microphase separation in a segmented polyurethane: Combined experimental study and molecular dynamics simulation
(Elsevier, 2020-03-30)
Designing surfaces with patterns of varying wettability is of significant importance for many applications. This fascinating feature is inspired from nature where it is absolutely vital for survival of some living creatures. ...
Theory of spin-orbit interactions in electronic transport and light scattering at the mesoscale.
(2021-02-03)
En esta Tesis, estudiamos los fundamentos teóricos de las interacciones de espín-órbita en dos de las ramas más prometedoras de la física de hoy en día, la espintrónica y la nanofotónica. Nos enfocamos en entender las ...
Light scattering from high refractive index nanostructures: Theory and applications
(2021-11-26)
La presente Tesis se enmarca dentro del campo de la Nanofotónica, es decir, del estudio de la interacción de la luz con la materia en la nanoescala. En particular, de la forma en que una onda plana interacciona con el ...
Development of iron-rich microwires with a unique combination of magnetic properties
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
We studied the influence of post-processing on magnetic properties of Fe-rich microwires and defined the routes to obtain Fe-rich cost-effective microwires with unique combination of magnetic properties allowing observation ...
