De-symmetrizing periodically grafted amphiphilic copolymers: design, synthesis and generation of Janus folded chains

Sarkar, Ramkrishna; Gowd, E. Bhoje; Ramakrishnan, S.

Periodically grafted amphiphilic copolymers (PGACs) were earlier shown to fold in a zigzag fashion to enable segregation of the two immiscible segments, namely the backbone and the pendant segments; crystallization of one or both segments led to the formation of a lamellar structure with the two segments located in alternate…

Enhanced functional properties of biopolymer film incorporated with curcurmin-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles for food packaging

Wu, Chunhua; Zhu, Yang; Wu, Tiantian; Wang, Lin; Yuan, Yi; Chen, Jicheng; Hu, Yaqin; Pang, Jie

Curcumin loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticle (SBA-15) was incorporated into chitosan (CS) film to improve the functional properties of pure CS film. Curcumin was loaded into SBA-15 (SBA-15-Cur) through a rotavapor method. The structural properties of SBA-15-Cur were characterised in detail by small-angle X-ray scattering, fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron…

Sustainable in Situ Approach to Covalently Functionalize Graphene Oxide with POSS Molecules Possessing Extremely Low Dielectric Behavior

Joseph, Angel Mary; Nagendra, Baku; Surendran, K. P.; Gowd, E. Bhoje

Incorporation of multifunctional inorganic additives into the commercial polymers still stands as the most captivating and effective way to realize new-generation electronic components. Here, we introduce a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally benign method to covalently functionalize graphene oxide (GO) with vinyl- and aminopropyl-functionalized hybrid silica spheres with a polyhedral…
