Bispidine-Based Macrocycles: Achievements and Perspectives

Aleksei V. Medved’ko, Savelii V. Gaisen, Mikhail A. Kalinin & Sergey Z. Vatsadze · Organics · 2023

This review presents all currently known macroheterocyclic compounds that include a bispidine (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) fragment in their structure. A classification of bispidine-containing macroheterocycles, which is based on the ring size and the nature of bispidinic nitr...

An Overview of Some Reactive Routes to Flame-Retardant Fibre-Forming Polymers: Polypropylene and Polyacrylonitrile

Svetlana Tretsiakova-McNally, Malavika Arun, Maurice Guerrieri & Paul Joseph · Organics · 2023

The thermal degradation and flammability characteristics of some common fibre-forming polymers, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), are described in this review paper. The flame retardance of these polymers is principally affected by reactive routes that were...

The Use of a Natural Polysaccharide as a Solidifying Agent and Color-Fixing Agent on Modern Paper and Historical Materials

Lucia Emanuele, Tanja Dujaković, Graziella Roselli, Simone Campanelli & Giulia Bellesi · Organics · 2023

This article presents results on the use of a new material as a solidifying agent and/or color-fixing agent. A special polysaccharide material extracted from the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) was tested on historical materials and modern papers. An old book from the...

Triple Benefits of Cardanol as Chain Stopper, Flame Retardant and Reactive Diluent for Greener Alkyd Coating

Maxinne Denis, Cédric Totée, Damien Le Borgne, Rodolphe Sonnier, Sylvain Caillol & Claire Negrell · Organics · 2023

Cardanol, a waste from the food industry and widely produced (1 Mt/y), has been used as a chain stopper during the polycondensation of short oil alkyd resins in order to replace benzoic acid. Then, phosphorylated cardanol has been added in order to both reduce solvent content and...

Looking for a Safe Bridge: Synthesis of P3HT-Bridge-TBO Block-Copolymers and Their Performance in Perovskite Solar Cells

Aleksandra N. Zhivchikova, Irina V. Klimovich, Maxim E. Sideltsev, Aly Elakshar, Artur T. Kapasharov, Alexander V. Akkuratov, Albert G. Nasibulin, Keith J. Stevenson & Marina M. Tepliakova · Organics · 2023

Here, we present a synthesis of three novel conjugated block-copolymers (BCP) with general formula P3HT-bridge-TBO, where P3HT is a poly(3-hexyl)thiophene, TBO is a thiophene-benzothiadiazole block, and the bridge is composed of two fluorene units (FF) or two thiophenes (TT) or a...

Specific Bifunctionalization on the Surface of Phosphorus Dendrimers Syntheses and Properties

Massimo Petriccone, Régis Laurent, Cédric-Olivier Turrin, Rosa Maria Sebastián & Anne-Marie Caminade · Organics · 2022

Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules possessing, in most cases, identical terminal functions. However, it is sometimes desirable to have two types of surface functions in order to fulfil specific properties. The stochastic functionalization is frequently used for such pu...
