Enantioselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide Dictated by Densely Substituted Aminoacids
(ACS, 2017-03-08)
Organocatalysis is becoming an important tool in
polymer science because of its versatility and specificity. To date
a limited number of organic catalysts have demonstrated the
ability to promote stereocontrolled ...
Single-ion conducting poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Wiley, 2019-09-25)
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SIPE) have attracted a lot of interest for application in high energy density lithium metal batteries. SIPEs possess lithium transport numbers close to unity, which does not ...
Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
CO2-sourced polycarbonates as solid electrolytes for room temperature operating lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-19)
In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly(ethylene oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the design of CO2-sourced
polycarbonates ...
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) Derivatives: Innovative Conductive Polymers for Bioelectronics
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s are the conducting polymers (CP) with the biggest prospects in the field of bioelectronics due to their combination of characteristics (conductivity, stability, transparency and ...
Ionic Liquids and Cellulose: Dissolution, Chemical Modification and Preparation of New Cellulosic Materials
(MDPI, 2014-07)
Due to its abundance and a wide range of beneficial physical and chemical properties, cellulose has become very popular in order to produce materials for various applications. This review summarizes the recent advances in ...
Organic-Acid Mediated Bulk Polymerization of e-Caprolactam and Its Copolymerization with e-Caprolactone
(Wiley, 2016-03-09)
Polyamides (PA) constitute one of the most important
classes of polymeric materials and have gained strong
position in different areas, such as textiles, fibers, and construction
materials. Whereas most PA are synthesized ...
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 ...
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 ...
Temperature responsive PEG-based polyurethanes “ a la carte”
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)
Temperature responsive polymers able to alter their chemical or physical properties have been extensively
investigated. Most of these polymers have an alkane polymer backbone with only carbon-carbon
bonds. In this sense, ...
