    • Bio-inspired, Self-toughening polymers enabled by plasticizer-releasing microcapsules 

      Meesorn, Worarin; Calvino, Céline; Natterodt, Jens; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (2019-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      A new concept for the design of self-toughening thermoplastic polymers is presented. The approach involves the incorporation of plasticizer-filled microcapsules (MCs) in an intrinsically rigid and brittle matrix polymer. ...

    • Functionally graded polyurethane/cellulose nanocrystal composites 

      Natterodt, Jens; Meesorn, Worarin; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (2018-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      The preparation and investigation of functionally graded polymer nanocom-posites, which have a concentration gradient of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) along one direction, is reported here. As a test bed, a series of ...

    • Influence of the salt concentration on the properties of salt-free polyelectrolyte complex membranes 

      Saikaew, Rateeya; Meesorn, Worarin; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph; Dubas, Stephan (2019-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) prepared by solution mixing of cationic poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and anionic poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) with various NaCl content are processed into films. Salt-free ...

    • One-component nanocomposites based on polymer-grafted cellulose nanocrystals 

      Wohlhauser, Sandra; Kuhnt, Tobias; Meesorn, Worarin; Montero de Espinosa, Lucas; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-02-11)
      Article
      Open Access
      Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are widely used as reinforcing fillers in polymers due to their exceptionally high stiffness and strength and because the biological species from which they are isolated represent renewable ...

    • Stiffness-changing of polymer nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystals and polymeric dispersant 

      Meesorn, Worarin; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (2019-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Bio-inspired, water-responsive, mechanically adaptive nanocomposites are reported based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), poly(ethylene oxide-co-epichlorohydrin) (EO-EPI), and a small amount of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), ...
