Polyurethane (PU)/acrylic hybrid dispersions are an important class of polymeric that produced on industrial scale. In this review, we detail the design and synthesis PU/acrylic dispersions, with a particular focus how structure can be tuned toward commercial applications. After brief introduction, describe building blocks used in each polymer their role synthesis/application final dispersion. Subsequently, discuss range procedures have been developed for such hybrids influences physical...
Graphene-based materials appear as a suitable answer to the demand for novel nanostructured effective nanobiocatalytic systems design. In this work, design of stable and efficient nanobiocatalysts made enzyme laccase immobilized on composite hydrogels [reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/polymer] is presented. The hydrogel supports were synthesized by self-assembly nanoplatelets in frame polymer latex matrix, where nanoparticles adsorbed onto GO surface, creating hybrid nanoplatelets. These hybrids...
Monolithic nanocarbon-based CO2 solid sorbents offer fast mass transport, easy handling, minor pressure drop, and cycle operation stability because of the interconnected three-dimensional network pores that provides a unique porous structure. In this work, following one-step water-based method, graphene-based monoliths were produced by spontaneous reduction-induced self-assembly graphene oxide nanoplatelets under mild conditions (45–90 °C). By varying reaction temperature amount reducing...
Polymeric derivatives of itaconic acid are gaining interest as biobased alternatives to petroleum-based monomers due their versatility, renewable nature, commercial availability, and cost-effectiveness. Itaconate ester monomer's challenges incorporating in (meth)acrylic waterborne polymers the low propagation rate, unfavorable reactivity ratios, depropagation process. To overcome these challenges, seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization 100% dibutyl itaconate, methyl methacrylate, butyl...
Water‐borne reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/polymer composites have been synthesized by emulsion mixing and in situ polymerization. The main challenge is to synthesize colloidally stable hybrid latexes that are able produce composite films water evaporation at standard atmospheric conditions for their possible application as electrically conductive coatings. selected polymer system composed from poly(methyl metacrylate/butyl acrylate) 50/50 wt% ratio order obtain glass transition temperature of...
The performance of waterborne (meth)acrylic coatings is critically affected by the film formation process, in which individual polymer particles must join to form a continuous film. Consequently, polymers present lower than their solvent-borne counter-polymers. To decrease this effect, work, ionic complexation between oppositely charged was introduced and its effect on films studied. were addition small amount monomers, such as sodium styrene sulfonate 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate....
Achieving control over the distribution of biocides across thickness polymer nanocomposite films is one largest challenges to develop efficient antibacterial surfaces. In such applications, it key maximize biocide presence at film top surface ensure contact with bacteria. Here, we make use evaporation driven colloidal self-assembly vertical in composite cast from blends and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. We present a thorough study which shows that rate ZnO volume fraction have strong...
Polymer composite materials with hierarchical porous structure have been advancing in many different application fields due to excellent physico-chemical properties. However, their synthesis continues be a highly energy-demanding and environmentally unfriendly process. This work reports unique water based of monolithic 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) structures reinforced poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer nanoparticles functionalized epoxy functional groups. The method is on...
Because of its surface characteristics, once in the aquatic environment, graphene could act as a carrier pollutants, such polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to organisms. In this study we aimed (1) assess capacity oxide (GO) sorb PAHs and (2) evaluate toxicity GO alone combination with on zebrafish embryos adults. showed high sorption for benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) (98% B(a)P sorbed from nominal concentration 100 μg/L) other water accommodated fraction (WAF) naphthenic North Sea crude oil,...
Abstract The current‐state of polymer‐based humidity sensors faces numerous limitations, including energy‐costly synthesis, low sensitivity, and slow response times. This study presents innovative approach to overcome these challenges, based on a robust all‐water‐borne in situ miniemulsion polymerization. use water throughout the entire process mitigates negative environmental impact. Thiol‐ene polymers reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) concentrations ranging from 0.2–1.0 wt% are...
