Hydrogen (H2) sensors that can be produced en masse with cost-effective manufacturing tools are critical for enabling safety in the emerging hydrogen economy. The use of melt-processed nanocomposites this context would allow combination advantages plasmonic detection polymer technology; an approach which is held back by slow diffusion H2 through matrix. Here, we show amorphous fluorinated polymer, compounded colloidal Pd nanoparticles prepared highly scalable continuous flow synthesis,...
Abstract A bio‐based polymeric ink for stereolithography developed through a two‐step solvent‐free process is herein proposed. Specifically, low‐molecular‐weight poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)‐diol oligomers are prepared via molten transesterification of bacterial PHB with 1,4‐butanediol. Transesterification conditions such as diol concentration, catalyst amount, and reaction time studied optimizing the final oligomers’ molecular weight structural features. In second step, oligomeric hydroxyl...
The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic highlighted the worldwide lack surgical masks and personal protective equipment, which represent main defense available against respiratory diseases as COVID-19. At time, shortage was dramatic in Italy, first European country seriously hit by pandemic: aiming to address emergency support Italian industrial reconversion production masks, a multidisciplinary team University Bologna organized laboratory test according regulations. group, driven expertise...
The current level of packaging consumption imposes a need to fabricate single-use food with renewable and compostable materials, such as bio-polyesters (e.g., polylactic acid, PLA polybutylene succinate, PBS) or cellulose, but their use is still problematic. Fabrication bio-compostable composites can specifically address impeding challenges, adhesive lamination, achieved glue, becoming more popular respect the less versatile hot lamination. In this context, plasma activation, chemical-free...
A simple and straightforward approach to switchable asymmetric catalysis is presented, based on the interactions of thiourea catalysts with anions.
A new, facile and low-sample consuming technique for the determination of hydroxyl values (OHVs) in poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) is herein presented. After a fast, uncatalyzed non-destructive trifluoroacetylation all PHA groups, OHVs are calculated through 19F-NMR measurements, comparing integral only two signals spectra: fluorinated groups internal standard (trifluorotoluene) signals. Furthermore, combined ex situ functionalization with simple workup polymer allowed to obtain spectra an...
Abstract Today, the most effective and suitable method to obtain molecular H 2 is extraction from mixtures where it present, using gas‐sieving membranes. To this aim, preparation characterization of layered nano‐composites are described, made alternated layers positively charged Poly(Diallyl Dimethyl Ammonium chloride) (PDDA) negatively graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with high tunable selectivity for purification. The composites assembled exploiting electrostatic interactions layer‐by‐layer...
