A multiblock copolymer is a polymer of a specific structure that consists of multiple covalently linked segments, each comprising a different monomer type. The control of the monomer …
Parts prepared by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing process suffer from poor interfacial adhesion between layers. This is due to poor diffusion of the very large and slow …
Synthesis of (multi) block copolymers using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization generally suffers from the limitation that the order of the blocks must …
The application of polymer “brushes”, with their unique physicochemical properties, has led to a radical change in the way we functionalize biomaterials or formulate hybrids; however …
Printed 3D objects built by fused deposition modeling (FDM) are well-known to exhibit large anisotropic mechanical properties. This anisotropy is due to poor diffusion and …
In this work, novel chitosan/bacterial cellulose (CS/BC) nanofibrous composites reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are introduced. As cell attachment and permeability …
In this paper, we study symmetric polymer blends comprised of two polymer chemistries, one containing hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) acceptor groups and another containing H …
Grafting synthetic polymers to inorganic and organic surfaces to yield polymer “brushes” has represented a revolution in many fields of materials science. Polymer brushes provide …
This work proposes a simple method to obtain nanostructured hydrogels with improved mechanical characteristics and relevant antibacterial behavior for applications in articular …
