Hydrogen-sieving zeolitic films by coating zeolite nanosheets on porous polymeric support

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Xuekui Duan

The synthesis of high-performance gas-sieving zeolitic film is challenging because it involves seeded secondary growth which is complex and difficult to reproduce. Additionally, expensive asymmetric inorganic porous supports are often needed for calcinatio ...

Biodegradation of water-soluble and water-dispersible polymers for agricultural, consumer, and industrial applications-Challenges and opportunities for sustainable materials solutions

Harm-Anton Klok, Alice Boarino

The development of more sustainable material solutions is one of the key challenges today. New materials are subject to an overall risk assessment of which their impact on the environment is an important aspect. The biodegradability of a material may suppo ...

Polymethylene Brushes via Surface-Initiated C1 Polyhomologation

Harm-Anton Klok, Sophia Thiele, Feng Li

Surface-initiated polymerization reactions are a powerful tool to generate chain-end-tethered polymer brushes. This report presents a synthetic strategy that gives access to structurally well-defined hydrocarbon polymer brushes of controlled molecular weig ...

Mechanical Activation of Chemical Bonds at Polymer Interfaces

Julian Nicolas Bleich

Polymer brushes are a specific class of polymer thin films in which each chain is tethered to the underlying substrate via one chain end. In sufficiently densely grafted assemblies, the individual polymer chains are forced into an extended chain conformati ...

Mineral equilibria and thermodynamic uncertainties in the geothermometrical characterisation of carbonate geothermal systems of low temperature. The case of the Alhama-Jaraba system (Spain)

Javier Reguera Gomez, Maria Pilar Asta Andres

Geothermometrical characterisation of low-temperature, carbonate-evaporitic geothermal systems is usually hampered by the lack of appropriate mineral equilibria to successfully use most of the classical geothermometers and/or by the thermodynamic uncertain ...

Modeling of fatigue behavior based on interaction between time- and cyclic-dependent mechanical properties

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos

A general constitutive equation was established using the theory of viscoelasticity in order to consider the interaction of the time- and cyclic-dependent mechanical properties of laminated composites. This equation was solved for two specific loading patt ...

Ultraviolet Functionalization of Electrospun Scaffolds to Activate Fibrous Runways for Targeting Cell Adhesion

Silvestro Micera

A critical challenge in scaffold design for tissue engineering is recapitulating the complex biochemical patterns that regulate cell behavior in vivo. In this work, we report the adaptation of a standard sterilization methodology-UV irradiation-for pattern ...
