Nanostructured Polymeric Materials for Hydrogen Storage

Smart polymeric materials: emerging biochemical applications.

Smart polymeric materials respond with a considerable change in their properties to small changes in their environment. Environmental stimuli include temperature, pH, chemicals, and light. "Smart" stimuli-sensitive materials can be either synthetic or natural. This review discusses the application of smart materials as tools to solve biological problems such as bioseparation, drug delivery, bio...

C60-containing nanostructured polymeric materials with potential biomedical applications

Star-shaped polymers with a fullerene (C60) core and an unexpanded structure were successfully prepared by reaction of C60 with amino end-capped polyesters HxC60(NHPCLn)x and polyethers HxC60(NHPEGn)x, respectively. Upon irradiation of these C60-derivatives, a large amount of singlet oxygen was released. Compared to previously synthesized star-shaped azafulleroids with an expanded structure, th...

Polymeric nanostructured composite films*

This research news describes the construction of polymeric nanostructured composite film based on a variety of interactions, such as hydrophobic–hydrophilic effect, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, etc. The work focused on developing strategies to solve the basic problems in the area of ultrathin film research, such as stability, improving the interface quality, creating patterned i...
