Organocatalysis has become a very powerful tool for precision macromolecular chemistry,
as judged by the number of articles published in this field in the past decade. A variety of …

Organocatalysis has become an invaluable tool for polymer synthesis, and its utility has
been demonstrated in ring-opening, anionic, zwitterionic, and group-transfer …

As the problem of bacterial contamination continues to grow in its significance, researchers
have reported many antibacterial materials that are based on inorganic compounds. Of …

Dendritic fiber nanosilica (DFNS) possesses a unique porous structure, and its potential
application for adsorption and separation, particularly of heavy metals, should be explored …

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used in the coating of technical textiles. PUs are generally
solvent-based and derived from synthetic polyols. In this work, a bio-sourced acid (citric acid …

Endothelialization, formation of endothelial cells (ECs) layer on cardiovascular implant
surface, is considered an ideal approach to prevent restenosis (renarrowing of blood vessel …

Polystyrene derived from styrofoam food containers was transformed into antimicrobial
polymer coatings on cotton fabric via a facile chemical upcycling process. In a two-step …

Multifunctional coated fabrics are in great demand for making technical textiles. This work
attempts the coating of cotton fabric using graphene-functionalised waterborne polyurethane …

In this study, a nano-SiO2 modified waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesive with
remarkably low VOC content and high adhesion performance was successfully synthesized …

The prevalent wisdom on develo** membrane active antimicrobials (MAAs) is to seek a
delicate, yet unquantified, cationic–hydrophobic balance. Inspired by phages that use …
