Ring-Opening Reactions of Aminocyclopropanes and Aminocyclobutanes

Mingming Wang

Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...

Extraction and controlled functionalization of lignin for materials applications

Stefania Bertella

Lignin is a renewable aromatic polymer that due to its abundance and unique chemical structure is a promising candidate to replace aromatic materials that are currently sourced from fossil oil. The same structure of lignin poses however drawbacks for its v ...

From vesicles to materials: bioinspired strategies for fabricating hierarchically structured soft matter

Esther Amstad

Certain organisms including species of mollusks, polychaetes, onychophorans and arthropods produce exceptional polymeric materials outside their bodies under ambient conditions using concentrated fluid protein precursors. While much is understood about the ...

Strategies for faster impregnation in melt thermoplastic resin transfer molding process

Damiano Salvatori

Continuous fiber thermoplastic composites are potential substitutes of steel in structural automotive components, since they combine fiber strength and rigidity with ductility, potential recyclability and low density of the thermoplastic (TP) matrix. Resin ...

Adhesive wear mechanisms uncovered by atomistic simulations

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink, Lucas Henri Galilée Frérot, Enrico Milanese

In this review, we discuss our recent advances in modeling adhesive wear mechanisms using coarse-grained atomistic simulations. In particular, we present how a model pair potential reveals the transition from ductile shearing of an asperity to the formatio ...

Cellulose nanofiber network for moisture stable, strong and ductile biocomposites and increased epoxy curing rate

John Christopher Plummer, Sylvain Cyril Claude Galland

Nanocomposites with high volume fractions (15-50 vol%) of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) were prepared by impregnation of a wet porous NFC network with acetone/epoxy/amine solution. Infrared spectroscopy studies revealed a significant increase in curing r ...

Process influences on the structure, piezoelectric, and gas-barrier properties of PVDF-TrFE copolymer

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Antonia Neels, Alex Dommann, Olha Sereda

The influence of annealing between the Curie transition and the melting point of solvent cast polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene copolymer films on the crystalline structure, mechanical and electrical properties, and oxygen permeability is investiga ...

Evaluation of residual strains in epoxy with different nano/micro-fillers using embedded fiber Bragg grating sensor

John Botsis, Marco Lai

The Influence of SiO2 nanoparticles and rubber micro-fillers on the mechanical and thermal responses of an epoxy based composite is investigated using classical quantitative thermo-mechanical testing (tensile tests DMTA TMA) microstructural analysis (Micro ...
