Polyglutamic acid-based Crosslinked Doxorubicin Nanogels as an Anti-Metastatic Treatment for Triple Negative Breast Cancer
(Elsevier, 2021-02-13)
Treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)-associated metastasis represents an unmet clinical need, and we lack effective therapeutics for a disease that exhibits high relapse rates and associates with poor patient ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
Synthesis of mechanically strong waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s capable of self-healing at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier, 2019)
Although various chemistries have been introduced into polyurethanes in order to obtain self-healing abilities, implementing these materials in applications requiring high strength is challenging as strong materials imply ...
New poly(ionic liquid)s based on poly(azomethine-pyridinium) salts and its use as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 conversion
(Elsevier, 2018-07-21)
A fast and simple synthetic route towards a new family of poly(ionic liquids) based on aromatic crosslinked poly(azomethine-pyridinium) salts is described. These new polymers were prepared in one step from new diamine ...
UV-cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as free standing solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Elsevier, 2019-04-10)
Aliphatic polycarbonates have emerged as promising polymer electrolytes due to their combination of moderate ionic conductivity and high lithium transference numbers. However, the mechanical properties of the aliphatic ...
Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
