New epoxy thermosets modified with multiarm star poly(lactide) with poly(ethyleneimine) as core of different molecular weight
(2013-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMultiarm stars containing a hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) core of different molecular weight and poly(lactide) arms were synthesized by cationic ring-opening polymerization of lactide from a hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) ... -
Assessment tasks: center of the learning process
(2012-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAssessment is at the centre of learning process, and is what therefore determinates the process of teaching-learning. It is because of this, the assessment tasks must be designed with several criteria which guarantee its ... -
New catalysts for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A curing based on thiol-epoxy click reaction
(2014-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thiol-epoxy click reaction has been employed in the curing of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) using latent amine precursors in ratios of 0.5 and 2 phr. The kinetics of the curing of mixtures of DGEBA/thiol/amine ... -
Thermal analysis of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. Identification of nanostructure development by DSC
(2014-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIt has been shown, for three different polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposite systems, how differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can identify the different reactions of homopolymerisation and of crosslinking that ... -
