Multifunctionalization of cellulose microfibrils through a cascade pathway entailing the sustainable Passerini multi-component reaction
As a follow-up of the Julien Leguy’s PhD work (at Cermav) and in collaboration with the Polymer Materials Engineering laboratory (IMP) – Joint Research Unit n ° 5223 – CNRS – Université de Lyon – INSA LYON, we have published in the Green Chemistry journal a proof of concept of the advanced dual chemical functionalization of cellulose microfibrils through an eco-responsible route.
Competing Molecular Packing of Blocks in a Lamella-Forming Carbohydrate-block-poly(3-hexylthiophene) Copolymer
We just published in Macromolecules in collaboration with our colleagues from NTU (Taipei, Taiwan) and Hokkaido Univ (Sapporo, Japan) a study on carbohydrate-based copolymers for promising application in organic photovoltaic (OPV) -Sub_10nm domain spacing
Rapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructures
We just published in Nature Communications Chemistry in collaboration with our colleagues at Hokkaido Univ (Sapporo, Japan) a study on carbohydrate-based copolymers for nanolithography – a major breakthrough (4nm resolution) never attained before
