Carbon dioxide offers an accessible, cheap and renewable carbon feedstock for synthesis.
Current interest in the area of carbon dioxide valorisation aims at new, emerging …

Buildings contribute to 40% of total global energy consumption, which is responsible to 38%
of greenhouse gas emissions. It is critical to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings to …

Microencapsulated n-octadecane with polyurea shells containing different soft segments
were synthesized using 2, 4-tolylene diisocyanate as an oil-soluble monomer and various …

Polyureas (PURs) are a competitive polymer to their analogs, polyurethanes (PUs).
Whereas PUs' main functional group is carbamate (urethane), PURs contain urea. In this …

ABSTRACT A new series of aromatic polyimides were synthesised by solution
polycondensation of diamine monomer with different dianhydrides via the conventional two …

Abstract Microencapsulated N-OCTADECANE PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS (PCMs) with
polyurethane (PU) and resorcinol-modified poly (melamine-formaldehyde)(PMF) shells were …

ABSTRACT A novel diamine monomer was prepared in three steps: first, a nucleophilic
substitution reaction between hydroquinone and 1‐flouro‐4‐nitrobenzene afforded a nitro …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an important greenhouse gas. However, its rapidly rising levels in
the atmosphere are one of the major causes of global warming. Therefore scientists around …

ABSTRACT A novel aromatic diamine monomer, 4‐(3, 5‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐2, 6‐bis (4‐
aminophenyl) pyridine (DPAP) was successfully synthesized by 4′‐nitroacetophenone and …

A series of novel fluorinated polyimides (PIs) were prepared from 4‐(3, 4‐difluorophenyl)‐2,
6‐bis (4‐aminophenyl) pyridine (FPAP) and commercial aromatic dianhydrides via …
