Room temperature synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) using highly reactive N-substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonates
(RSC, 2016-02-16)
There is a growing interest to develop green synthetic pathways towards industrially relevant polymers
such as polyurethanes without the use of toxic and dangerous isocyanate monomers. The most promising
route towards ...
Supramolecular Structure and Renaturation of a (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Compared with Curdlan and Scleroglucan
(MDPI, 2014-09-22)
A (1→3)-β-D-Glucan produced by Lactobacillus suebicus CUPV221 strain was
investigated by tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM), to compare its
supramolecular structure and conformation with two commercial ...
How Do We Create Experiences for Students That Connect with What They Care About?
(MDPI, 2018-10-26)
The main aim of this work is to describe the process by which some students, participating in a teaching experiment, recreate with guidance material and personal attendance some advanced concepts at the doctoral level. ...
Problem-Based Teaching through Video Podcasts for Coding and Cryptography
(MDPI, 2018-10-31)
In this work we present the development and preliminary evaluation of several problem-based video podcasts addressed to students of the subject “Coding and Cryptography”. Specifically, this experiment has been carried out ...
Validation of LDLr Activity as a Tool to Improve Genetic Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A Retrospective on Functional Characterization of LDLr Variants
(MDPI, 2018-06)
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by high blood-cholesterol levels mostly caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr). With a prevalence as high as ...
Study of conductive polymers for bioelectronics
(2017-10-27)
Durante esta tesis doctoral se han desarrollado nuevos polímeros orgánicos conductores para su aplicación en bioelectrónica. Partiendo del material más famoso y utilizado hoy en día el PEDOT:PSS, se han podido mejorar ...
Non-isocyanate poly(hydroxyurethanes)s and polycarbonates derived from N-substituted eight membered cyclic carbonates
(2017-11-16)
The scope of this PhD thesis was aimed at exploring the versatility of the N-substituted eight membered cyclic carbonate platforms. Through this thesis work, cyclic carbonates were utilized as starting materials to prepare ...
Expanding the Applicability of Poly(Ionic Liquids) in Solid Phase Microextraction: Pyrrolidinium Coatings
(MDPI, 2017-09)
Crosslinked pyrrolidinium-based poly(ionic liquids) (Pyrr-PILs) were synthesized through a fast, simple, and solventless photopolymerization scheme, and tested as solid phase microextraction (SPME) sorbents. A series of ...
Twisted Aromatic Frameworks: Readily Exfoliable and Solution-Processable Two-Dimensional Conjugated Microporous Polymers
(Wiley VCH, 2017)
Twisted two-dimensional aromatic frameworks have been prepared by overcrowding the nodes with bulky and rigid substituents. The highly distorted aromatic framework with alternating out-of-plane substituents results in ...
Monodisperse N‐Doped Graphene Nanoribbons Reaching 7.7 Nanometers in Length
(Wiley VCH, 2018-01-15)
The properties of graphene nanoribbons are highly dependent on structural variables such as width, length, edge structure, and heteroatom doping. Therefore, atomic precision over all these variables is necessary for ...
