During the last two decades, poly (dicyclopentadiene) prepared by Ring-opening Metathesis
Polymerisation has emerged as an important competitor for epoxy-and polyester resins. This …

There is a huge and growing demand for flexible electronics for electronic skin, wearable
devices and medical equipment. At the same time, celluloses with the special crystal shape …

A large array of easily available small-molecule (as opposed to industrial oligomeric)
triisocyanates and aromatic polyols render polyurethanes a suitable model system for a …

The removal of uranium (VI) from laboratory and environmental waters using polyurea-cross-
linked calcium alginate (X-alginate) aerogels has been investigated by means of batch-type …

Polyurea is an isocyanate derivative, and comprises the basis for a well-established class of
polymeric aerogels. Polyurea aerogels are prepared either via reaction of multifunctional …

We describe a new room-temperature HCl-catalyzed method for the synthesis of
polybenzoxazine (PBO) aerogels from bisphenol A, formaldehyde, and aniline that cuts the …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) remember and return to an original shape when triggered
by a suitable stimulus, typically a change in temperature. They are pursued as cost-effective …

A family of ambient-dried polybenzoxazine aerogels is prepared with a facile and scalable
process as a high-performance polymeric aerogel with strong and robust thermomechanical …

Flexible and foldable aerogels have commercial value for applications in thermal insulation.
This study investigates the molecular connection of macroscopic flexibility using polymeric …

Two types of preformed alginate wet gels, one with a low (30–35%) and the other with a high
(65–75%) content of glucuronic acid, were reacted with an aliphatic triisocyanate that was …
