The Structural Dispersity of Oligoethylene Glycol-Containing Polymer Brushes Determines Their Interfacial Properties
Harm-Anton Klok, Alberto Ongaro, Irene Filipucci
Ought to their bioinert properties and facile synthesis, poly[(oligoethylene glycol)methacrylate]s (POEGMAs) have been raised as attractive alternatives to poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) in an array of (bio)material applications, especially when they are ap ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Advances in High-Speed, Multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy
After decades of technological advancements, high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) has emerged as a powerful technique for visualizing dynamic processes. At the nanoscale, the AFM provides valuable insights into the sample by sensing minute interacti ...
EPFL2024Soft Mechanochemistry of Disulfide-Crosslinked Polymer Networks
Mechanochemistry harnesses mechanical force to facilitate chemical reactions. Traditionally, the field of polymer mechanochemistry has used methods to activate chemical bonds, which use forces that are larger than those that are required to break a covalen ...
EPFL2024Stimulus-responsive assembly of nonviral nucleocapsids
Controlled assembly of a protein shell around a viral genome is a key step in the life cycle of many viruses. Here we report a strategy for regulating the co-assembly of nonviral proteins and nucleic acids into highly ordered nucleocapsids in vitro. By fus ...
Nature Portfolio2024Influence of micro-patterned support properties and interfacial polymerization conditions on performance of patterned thin-film composite membranes
Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Cédric Karel J Van Goethem
Patterned membranes prepared via spray-modified non -solvent induced phase separation (s-NIPS) have successfully shown enhanced fluxes and better fouling control, thanks to the increased surface area and high fluid shear at the membrane/feed interface. The ...
Elsevier2024Supramolecular Polymer Brushes Grown by Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization from Cucurbit[7]uril-based Non-Covalent Initiators
Harm-Anton Klok, Friederike Katharina Metze, Irene Filipucci
Polymer brushes are densely grafted, chain end-tethered assemblies of polymers that can be produced via surface-initiated polymerization. Typically, this is accomplished using initiators or chain transfer agents that are covalently attached to the substrat ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Thermoplastic Toughening of a Semiaromatic Polyamide with an Amino-telechelic Polyethylene
John Christopher Plummer, Holger Frauenrath, Michael Alan Giffin
Semiaromatic polyamides are used for metal replacementin advancedengineering applications to reduce weight and improve efficiency,but their range of application is limited by their inherent lack ofductility and toughness. Here, we combined semiaromatic pol ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Architecturally Diverse Polymer Brushes Prepared via Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
Polymer brushes, which are polymers anchored to a solid substrate by one chainend, have the ability to modify the properties of an underlying substrate, offeringintriguing features such as enhanced lubrication, reduced friction, colloidal stability, and an ...
EPFL2023Opportunities, Challenges, and Pitfalls in Making, Characterizing, and Understanding Polymer Brushes
Polymer brushes have been theoretically described, their behavior under diverse conditions has been modeled, and their preparation via surface-initiated polymerizations (SIPs) has been progressively refined. However, despite three decades of research endea ...
Washington2023Incorporation of Lignin in Bio-Based Resins for Potential Application in Fiber-Polymer Composites
Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido, Mateus De Assunção Hofmann
Bio-based resins, obtained from renewable raw materials, are a more sustainable alternative to oil-based resins for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The incorporation of lignin in those resins has the potential to enhance their performance. This ...
