Synthesis, Structure, Crystallization and Mechanical Properties of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Copolyesters
(MDPI, 2021-07-09)
Isodimorphic behavior is determined by partial inclusion of comonomer segments within the crystalline structure and arises from the comparatively similar repeating chain units of the parental homopolymers. Isodimorphic ...
Effect of Chain Stereoconfiguration on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Crystallization Kinetics
(American Chemical Society, 2022-08)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is naturally accumulated by bacteria but can also be synthesized chemically. Its processability is limited, as it tends to degrade at temperatures above its melting temperature; hence, ...
Self-healable dynamic poly(urea-urethane) gel electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
[EN] Self-healing materials are actively studied in order to extend the lifetime and performance of batteries. Dynamic covalent networks have recently emerged as one of the best self-healable materials which allow thermosets ...
Enhanced and Reusable Poly(hydroxy urethane)-Based Low Temperature Hot-Melt Adhesives
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHUs) based on 5-membered cyclic carbonates have emerged as sustainable alternatives to conventional isocyanate-based polyurethanes. However, while from the point of view of sustainability ...
Insights on the Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma-Induced Free-Radical Polymerization of Allyl Ether Cyclic Carbonate Liquid Layers
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
Plasma-induced free-radical polymerizations rely on the formation of radical species to initiate polymerization, leading to some extent of monomer fragmentation. In this work, the plasma-induced polymerization of an allyl ...
Polyether Single and Double Crystalline Blends and the Effect of Lithium Salt on Their Crystallinity and Ionic Conductivity
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)
In this work, blends of Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(1,6-hexanediol), PHD, were prepared in a wide composition range. They were examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Polarized Light Optical Microscopy ...
Lactide-Valerolactone Copolymers for Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Lactide-valerolactone copolymers have potential application in the packaging sector. Different copolymers were synthesized, and the kinetics of the copolymerization reactions and the microstructure of the copolymers were ...
Accelerating the Curing of Hybrid Poly(Hydroxy Urethane)-Epox y Adhesives by the Thiol-Epoxy Chemistry
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11)
The polyaddition between dicyclic carbonates and diamines leading to poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHUs) has emerged as the preferred method for the synthesis of green, non-isocyanate polyurethanes. However, when proposed for ...
Physical Aging Behavior of a Glassy Polyether
(MDPI, 2021-03-20)
The present work aims to provide insights on recent findings indicating the presence of multiple equilibration mechanisms in physical aging of glasses. To this aim, we have investigated a glass forming polyether, poly(1-4 ...
Polymorphism in Non-Fullerene Acceptors Based on Indacenodithienothiophene
(Wiley, 2021-07)
Organic solar cells incorporating non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have reached remarkable power conversion efficiencies of over 18%. Unlike fullerene derivatives, NFAs tend to crystallize from solutions, resulting in bulk ...
