Low-Viscosity, Dynamic Amidoamine Hardeners with Tunable Curing Kinetics for Epoxy Adhesives Open
To address the irreversible cross-linking of amidoamine (AA) hardeners, dynamic alternatives have been developed, but high viscosities and nontunable curing kinetics limit practical applications. We present a novel strategy to reduce the v…

Synthesis of triamine-functionalized rigid crosslinkers for materials science Open
A star-shaped amine-terminated polystyrene of varying molar mass was synthesized on a tens-of-gram scale and used as a trifunctional crosslinker for a classical epoxy resin and a vitrimer, both showing high thermal stability and tunable pr…

A PETase enzyme synthesised in the chloroplast of the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is active against post-consumer plastics Open
Polyethylene terephthalate hydrolases (PETases) are a newly discovered and industrially important class of enzymes that catalyze the enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephatalate (PET), one of the most abundant plastics in the world.…

Influences of nitrogen base excess on ARGET ATRP of styrene with ascorbic acid acetonide and traces of oxygen and water Open
The dual role of nitrogen bases is shown in the ARGET ATRP with ascorbic acid acetonide. High p K a bases lead to more ascorbate anion (faster polymerizations) but in presence of oxygen/water are detrimental to the catalyst (hydroxide form…
