The Fragmentation of 2,3-Dihydroisothiazol-3-one 1,1-Dioxide Derivatives: A Novel Cheletropic Process

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1992
Adducts obtained by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to 2,3-dihydroisothiazol-3-one 1,1-dioxides are inclined to undergo a cheletropic process, by which the newly formed heterocyclic part undergoes aromatization, while SO2 is extruded and an ...

In Situ Synthesized Glycerol‐Releasing Nanocarriers Unlock Superlubricity in Oil‐Based Lubricants

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents an in situ synthesis of glycerol‐based nanocarriers in hydrophobic lubricant oils via inverse miniemulsion polymerization. Encapsulating glycerol within a glycerol‐based polyurethane shell resolves miscibility issues between glycerol and the hydrophobic base oil, yielding novel nanoadditives with tunable glycerol loading.

Interfacial Energy and Composition Controlled Self‐Stratification in Polyurethane Coatings

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study elucidates self‐stratification in polyurethane coatings driven by interfacial energies and composition‐dependent phase separation. Using XPS, SIMS, and Raman analyses, we reveal rapid formation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers and substrate‐dependent interfacial structures.
