    • Cooperative action of KIF1A Brownian motors with finite dwell time 

      Oriola Santandreu, David; Casademunt Viader, Jaume (2014-03-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      We study in detail the cooperative action of small groups of KIF1A motors in its monomeric (single-headed) form within an arrangement relevant to vesicle traffic or membrane tube extraction. It has been recently shown that ...
    • Cooperative Force Generation of KIF1A Brownian Motors 

      Oriola Santandreu, David; Casademunt Viader, Jaume (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2013-07-26)
      Article
      Open Access
      KIF1A is a kinesin motor protein that can work processively in a monomeric (single-headed) form by using a noise-driven ratchet mechanism. Here, we show that the combination of a passive diffusive state and finite-time ...

      Covenantee:   Univerza v Ljubljani
      In the present work an emulsion copolymerization of n-butyl acrylate monomer and secondary renewable monomer derived from glucose is presented. The latter component offers to this study a plus of sustainability, considering ...
    • Eugenol-based dual-cured materials with multiple dynamic exchangeable bonds 

      Roig Gibert, Adriá; Ramis Juan, Xavier; De la Flor López, Silvia; Serra Albet, Maria Àngels (Elsevier, 2024-02-21)
      Article
      Open Access
      In the present work, the preparation of sustainable thermosets has been approached simultaneously from three different points of view: a) the use of bio-based monomers chemically modified through green methodologies, b) ...
    • Harnessing disulfide and transesterification bond exchange reactions for recyclable and reprocessable 3D-printed vitrimers 

      Vilanova Pérez, Anna; Moradi, Sasan; Konuray, Ali Osman; Ramis Juan, Xavier; Roig Gibert, Adriá; Fernández Francos, Xavier (2024-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Two new vitrimeric materials have been studied for potential additive manufacturing applications such as 3D- printing. A monomer containing disulfide bonds and ß-hydroxyesters was easily synthesized from two low- cost and ...
