Walker-like domain wall breakdown in layered antiferromagnets driven by staggered spin-orbit fields
(Nature, 2020-10-29)
Within linear continuum theory, no magnetic texture can propagate faster than the maximum group velocity of the spin waves. Here, by atomistic spin dynamics simulations and supported by analytical theory, we report that a ...
The influence of interfacial interactions on the conductivity and phase behaviour of organic ionic plastic crystal/polymer nanoparticle composite electrolytes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-02-21)
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have been recognised as promising solid-state electrolyte materials for next-generation energy storage devices. Recently, the addition of polymer nanofillers to OIPCs has led to the ...
Innovative Polymers for Next‐Generation Batteries
(Wiley, 2020-01-23)
Lithium-ion batteries are part of modern life, being present in daily-used objects such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, watches, sport accessories, electric scooters, and cars. The next-generation batteries require ...
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 ...
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, ...
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. ...
