• Hydrolyzable Additive-Based Silicone Elastomers: A New Approach for Antifouling Coatings
  5 March 2020

  Gevaux, L.; Lejars, M.; Margaillan, A.; Briand, J.-F.; Bunet, R.; Bressy, C. Hydrolyzable Additive-Based Silicone Elastomers: A New Approach for Antifouling Coatings. Polymers 2019, 11 (2), 305
  Abstract : Fouling Release Coatings are marine antifouling coatings based on silicone elastomers. Contrary to commonly used biocide-based antifouling coatings, they do not release biocides into the marine environment, however, they suffer from poor antifouling efficacy during idle periods. To (…)

• Cystophloroketals A–E, Unusual Phloroglucinol–Meroterpenoid Hybrids from the Brown Alga Cystoseira tamariscifolia
  31 July 2015

  Hattab, M. El; Genta-Jouve, G.; Bouzidi, N.; Ortalo-Magné, A.; Hellio, C.; Maréchal, J.-P.; Piovetti, L.; Thomas, O. P.; Culioli, G. Journal of Natural Products, 2015, 78 (7), 1663–1670
  Abstrat:
  Cystophloroketals A-E (1-5), five new phloroglucinol-meroditerpenoid hybrids, have been isolated together with their putative biosynthetic precursor, the monocyclic meroditerpenoid 6, from the Mediterranean brown alga Cystoseira tamariscifolia. They represent the first examples of (…)

• A turn-on fluorescent ion-imprinted polymer for selective and reliable optosensing of lead in real water samples
  4 September 2020

  René, W.; Lenoble, V.; Chioukh, M.; Branger, C. A Turn-on Fluorescent Ion-Imprinted Polymer for Selective and Reliable Optosensing of Lead in Real Water Samples. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical 2020, 319, 128252
  Abstract : A new fluorescent Pb(II) imprinted polymer (Pb(II)–IIP) was synthesized for the selective detection of this contaminant in natural water. To play the sensing role, a fluorescent probe specific to Pb(II), based on anthracene coupled to 5-amino-8-hydroxyquinoline and a (…)

• Surface modification of silk fibroin fibers with poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(tributylsilyl methacrylate) via RAFT polymerization for marine antifouling applications
  1 March 2015

  Buga, M.-R.; Zaharia, C.; Bălan, M.; Bressy, C.; Ziarelli, F.; Margaillan, A. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2015, 51, 233–241
  Abstract : In this study, silk fibroin surface containing hydroxyl and aminogroups was firstly modified using a polymerizable coupling agent 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS), in order to induce vinyl groups onto the fiber surface. The reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) (…)

• Photo-oxidative degradation behavior of linseed oil based epoxy resin
  1 February 2017

  Dupuis, A.; Perrin, F.-X.; Ulloa Torres, A.; Habas, J.-P.; Belec, L.; Chailan, J.-F. Polymer Degradation and Stability 2017, 135, 73–84
  Abstract : The photo-oxidation behaviour of a biobased epoxy polymer has been studied under irradiation at wavelengths > 315 nm at 45°C and in the presence of oxygen. The resin is obtained after curing a blend of an epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and epoxidized glycerol (EG) with methyltetrahydrophtalic anhydride (MTHPA). Molecular changes induced by the (…)
