Atmospheric plasma: a simple way of improving the interface between natural polysaccharides and polyesters
Atmospheric plasma: a simple way of improving the interface between natural polysaccharides and polyesters X Carette, R Mincheva, M Herbin, X Noirfalise, T C Nguyen, P Leclere, T Godfroid, H Kerdjoudj, O Jolois, M Boudhifa Abstract : In this study, a novel simple and fast method was developed of immobilizing a natural polysaccharide (chitosan) on a polylactide (PLA) surface. In order to overcome the […]
Substantial Effect of Water on Radical Melt Crosslinking and Rheological Properties of Poly(Ε-Caprolactone)
Substantial Effect of Water on Radical Melt Crosslinking and Rheological Properties of Poly(Ε-Caprolactone) Angelica Avella, Rosica Mincheva, Jean-Marie RAquez, Giada Lo Re Abstract : One-step reactive melt processing (REx) via radical reaction was evaluated with the aim of improving the rheological properties of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). In particular, a water-assisted REx was designed under the hypothesis […]
Epimerization and chain scission of polylactides in the presence of TBD
Epimerization and chain scission of polylactides in the presence of TBD Julie Meimoun, Audrey Favrelle,-Huret, Marc Bria, Nicolas Merle, Grégory Stoclet, Julien De Winter, Rosica Mincheva, Jean-Marie Raquez, Philippe Zinck Abstract : The epimerization of polylactide is reported in the presence of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) at 105 °C in toluene. The extent of the reaction depends […]
Interfacial compatibilization of PLA and Mg in composites for bioresorbable bone implants
Interfacial compatibilization of PLA and Mg in composites for bioresorbable bone implants M Ben Abdeljawad, X Carette, R Mincheva, J. Odent1 and J-M Raquez Abstract : In this study, polylactide (PLA)/magnesium (Mg) composites were produced through extrusion and compression-molding. In order to enhance the interfacial adhesion between the hydrophobic matrix and the hydrophilic filler, an […]
Design of melt-recyclable poly(ε-caprolactone)-based supramolecular shape-memory nanocomposites
Design of melt-recyclable poly(ε-caprolactone)-based supramolecular shape-memory nanocomposites Florence Pilate, Zhi-Bin Wen, Farid Khelifa, Yan Hui, Sebastien Delpierre, Luo Dan, Rosica Mincheva, Philippe Dubois, Ke-ke Yang, Jean-Marie Raquez Abstract : A novel poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) supramolecular network exhibiting shape-memory behavior was successfully constructed with pendant UPy units that are highly able to dimerize. The dynamic network was […]
