Photopatternable, degradable, and performant polyimide network substrates for e-waste mitigation
Photopolymerizable and degradable polyimides from liquid resins were developed, using existing economic chemical feedstocks, as flexible substrates to mitigate the e-waste crisis.
Paper
High-strength 3D printed poly(lactic acid) composites reinforced by shear-aligned polymer-grafted cellulose nanofibrils
This work demonstrates the application of pilot-scale surface functionalization of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) by aqueous grafting-through polymerization and subsequent spray drying in 3D printed poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites.
Paper
Cathodic electrodeposition of polymer networks as ultrathin films on 3-D micro-architected electrodes
Conformal sub-micron coatings of an ion-conducting polymer network are obtained on porous micron-scaled architectures using surface-confined electrochemistry.
Paper
Unraveling the thermal stability of aromatic disulfide epoxy vitrimers: a comprehensive study using principal component analysis (PCA)
This study combines 1H NMR and chemometrics to determine optimal processing conditions for aromatic disulfide-based vitrimers, revealing a correlation between model reactions and vitrimer networks.
Paper
Investigation of the influence of substituents on the dielectric properties of polyethylene derivatives
A variety of PE derivatives containing different substituents can be prepared by Mitsunobu post-functionalization, which can effectively improve the dielectric properties and enhance the dielectric breakdown strength of the PE matrix.
