Blends of oligopeptide terminal polyisobutylene or polystyrene

Véronique Michaud, Emmanuel Croisier, Holger Frauenrath, Su Liang

Various blends of polymers are disclosed, comprising oligopeptide functionalised polymers such as polyisobutylene and polystyrene. Mono-functionalised and di-functionalised polymers (each containing 0 to 5 peptide units beyond its terminal amide group) may ...

A toolbox of oligopeptide-modified polymers for tailored elastomers

Joël Cugnoni, Véronique Michaud, Emmanuel Croisier, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Holger Frauenrath, Su Liang, Ruben Anton Snellings, Thomas Schweizer

Biomaterials are constructed from limited sets of building blocks but exhibit extraordinary and versatile properties, because hierarchical structure formation lets them employ identical supramolecular motifs for different purposes. Here we exert a similar ...

Materials Taking a Lesson from Nature

Emmanuel Croisier, Holger Frauenrath, Liangfei Tian

Structural biomaterials with their often extraordinary properties and versatile functions are typically constructed from very limited sets of building blocks and types of supramolecular interactions. In this review we discuss how, inspired by nature's desi ...

From Reinforcement to High-Performance Damping : An Oligopeptide Toolbox for Tailored Elastomers

Emmanuel Croisier

Biomaterials such as structure proteins are constructed from limited sets of chemical building blocks and supramolecular motifs. Nevertheless, they exhibit extraordinary properties specifically tailored for a broad range of applications because hierarchica ...

Survey of volatile oxylipins and their biosynthetic precursors in bryophytes

Emmanuel Croisier

Oxylipins are metabolites which are derived from the oxidative fragmentation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These metabolites play central roles in plant hormonal regulation and defense. Here we survey the production of volatile oxylipins in bryophytes an ...

Formation of Boronate Ester Polymers with Efficient Intrastrand Charge Transfer Transitions by Three-Component Reactions

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Nicolas Christinat, Ursula Röthlisberger, Emmanuel Croisier, Michele Cascella

The three-component reaction of aryl boronic acids with 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene or 4,4-bipyridine leads to the formation of dark-purple boronate ester polymers. Crystallographic analyses show that the polymer strands have ...
