Thermomechanical and Conductive Properties of Thiol–Ene Poly(ionic liquid) Networks Containing Backbone and Pendant Imidazolium Groups
A series of covalently cross-linked poly(ionic liquid) networks were prepared using thiol–ene “click” photopolymerization. In these networks, imidazolium groups are placed in the backbone and pendant to the main chain, creating a “hybrid”-type network architecture. The pendant imidazolium groups were incorporated into the networks from monofunctional “ene” monomers that contained…
Effects of Urea and TMAO on Lipid Self-Assembly under Osmotic Stress Conditions
Pham, Quoc Dat; Wolde-Kidan, Amanuel; Gupta, Anirudh; Schlaich, Alexander; Schneck, Emanuel; Netz, Roland R.; Sparr, Emma
Most land-living organisms regularly experience dehydration. In nature, one commonly applied strategy to protect against this osmotic stress is to introduce small polar molecules with low vapor pressure, commonly called osmolytes. Two examples of naturally occurring small polar compounds are urea and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which are known to have…

The effect of side-chain substitution on the aggregation and photovoltaic performance of diketopyrrolopyrrole-alt-dicarboxylic ester bithiophene polymers
Heuvel, Ruurd; Colberts, Fallon J. M.; Li, Junyu; Wienk, Martijn M.; Janssen, René A. J.
Using a dicarboxylic ester bithiophene (DCBT) co-monomer, electron-withdrawing ester groups are introduced on the two central thiophene rings of an alternating donor–acceptor polymer (PDPP4T) consisting of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and quaterthiophene (4T) to increase the oxidation potential and reduce the photon energy loss in solar cells. To counteract the increased solubility…

Temperature-Induced Self-Assembly of the Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Fusion Antigen GBS-NN
Rose, Fabrice; Roovers, Silke; Fano, Mathias; Harloff-Helleberg, Stine; Kirkensgaard, Jacob J.K.; Hejnaes, Kim; Fischer, Per; Foged, Camilla
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of serious bacterial neonatal infections worldwide, which provides an unmet medical need for a globally effective vaccine. The recombinant GBS fusion antigen GBS-NN contains the N-terminal regions of the GBS Rib and Alpha C proteins. It shows promising immunogenicity eliciting protective immunity…
Strong synergistic improvement of mechanical properties in HDPE/COC blends with fibrillar morphology
Ostafinska, Aleksandra; Vackova, Tatana; Slouf, Miroslav
High-density polyethylene/cycloolefin copolymer (HDPE/COC) blends with fibrous morphology were prepared. Mechanical properties in the whole concentration range were measured in both macroscale (tensile measurements) and microscale (microindentation hardness testing). Strong improvement of mechanical performance was observed namely for the blends with soft HDPE matrix reinforced with the stiff…
