The synthesis and processing of most thermoplastics and thermoset polymeric materials rely
on energy-inefficient and environmentally burdensome manufacturing methods. Frontal …

In this feature article, an overview of azobenzene containing dyes, polymers and dendrimers
is presented. The main focus is on the results obtained in our research group during the last …

In this work, we report on the synthesis and characterization of thermoresponsive poly (N-
vinylcaprolactam), PNVCL, nanocomposite hydrogels containing nanocrystalline cellulose …

Polymer hydrogels are 3D networks consisting of hydrophilic crosslinked macromolecular
chains, allowing them to swell and retain water. Since their invention in the 1960s, they have …

For the first time, the synthesis of polymeric hydrogels containing cyclodextrins (CDs)
obtained by frontal polymerization (FP) is reported. In particular, the effects of CDs on poly (2 …

Frontal polymerization (FP) of poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) was carried out
using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as radical initiator. In addition, a pyrene containing monomer …

In this work, semi‐interpenetrating gels of poly (N‐isopropyl acrylamide) and
methylcellulose were successfully synthesized by using the Frontal Polymerization (FP) …

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of porphyrins,
some of them bearing donor-acceptor groups. meso-substituted free-base porphyrins: 5-(4 …

Polymer hydrogels are 3D networks consisting of hydrophilic crosslinked macromolecular
chains, able to swell and retain water. Since their invention in the 1960s, they have become …

A density functional theory study was performed to analyze the electron donor–acceptor
properties of the cis and trans isomers of a novel azobenzene-containing …
