24. Strong adhesion of wet conducting polymers on diverse substrates

Image
         Sometimes, the greatest Scientific discoveries come in the simplest way or try to fix the apparently smalest problems. In this study, the authors solve the adhesion between a conductive polymer and a substrate through an imaginative approach using an adhesive layer, two interpenetrating polymer nets and the swelling behaviour. We found it very engaging and we hope you do too.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Materials & Methods Published in Science Advances on 20 th March 2020 Akihisa Inoue, Hyunwoo Yuk, Baoyang Lu and Xuanhe Zhao DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aay5394

23. Characterization and engineering of a two-enzyme system for plastics depolymerization

Image
In this new article, the authors bring up a new approach to the solution of the plastic pollution: an enzyme capable of eating PET . We think this kind of study will keep being a topic with a huge importance for society, so we wanted to bring it to Polymers Audio Articles.  About the structure we have followed, we decided to split the audio in two chapters, as many other times in the past, but twisting things a little; at the first moment, we though divide it in three parts, but two of them would have been very short, so we put together the first and the third part, Introduction & Discussion , and separately, the second one, Results . Although this is unusual, it makes both podcasts more equilibrate. We hope you find this article useful and interesting.

22. Cellulose-Conducting Polymer Aerogels for Efficient Solar Steam Generation

Image
A revolutionary invention is presented in this article which provides a way to reduce the lack of water . The authors present an aerogel made of cellulose and PEDOT:PSS capable of capturing water and evaporating it faster than previous methods in order to make it pure and ready for human consumption by using solar light . Take a listen to the episode.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Advance Sustainable Systems on March 9 th 2020 Shaobo Han, Tero-Petri Ruoko, Johannes Gladisch, Johan Erlandsson, Lars Wågberg, Xavier Crispin, and Simone Fabiano DOI: 10.1002/adsu.202000004

Polymers Audio Articles

Image
As you have probably noticed, there were some changes in the last few days, we bring you the whys, but you must know that everything began a couple of weeks ago with the famous Bruce Lee’s quote that you can see below. It made us flow as water and we have decided to specialize our content in the field of Polymers.  One of the main ideas defines the project of audio articles is the continuous growing and improvement, bringing new kinds of scientific literature, polishing details of the edition and incorporating updates to the project as long as they come, so that's why we think this change fits with our DNA despite is a little bit bigger than others. At the point we are, being focused on one topic can make us stronger and it makes sense with the ambition of becoming a reference helping people with their bibliography work, entire Science is immeasurable for us being just a small group working on. Why did we choose Polymers? As you can see, most of our reviewed papers so far were abo
