Due to their small size, nanoparticles possess unique properties such as high absorption or pollutant degradation, making them useful for skin protection against chemicals. By covalently grafting to a hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE), a thickening polymer, nanoparticles can be dispersed as gels in water at neutral pH....

Due to their small size, nanoparticles possess unique properties. Cerium oxide nanoparticles have already been studied for their capacity to adsorb and neutralize toxic compounds including organophosphates. By covalently grafting these nanoparticles to a thickening polymer, their potential aggregation resulting in a loss of surface area and...

This work presents a new strategy of plasma treatment and post-functionalization of polycarbonate substrates in order to enhance their hydrophobic properties. While the plasma treatment is used to change the morphology and increase the roughness, the Huisgen reaction is used to decrease the surface energy or to add specific properties. Surface...

We report the electropolymerization of five 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomers containing different aromatic groups (phenyl, diphenyl, biphenyl, naphthalene, pyrene). While with phenyl, diphenyl, biphenyl and naphthalene the polymerization occurs on the EDOT moiety, with pyrene both the EDOT and the pyrene moieties polymerize. Their...
