• 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 (…)

• Electroactive polyacrylates bearing linear conjugated systems based on EDOT moieties
  15 October 2018

  Faye, D.; Duong, T. H.; Vieitez, I.; Gohier, F.; Brisset, H.; Frère, P.; Briand, J.-F.; Leriche, P.; Bressy, C. Electroactive Polyacrylates Bearing Linear Conjugated Systems Based on EDOT Moieties. Polymer 2017, 117, 17–24 Abstract :
  New polyacrylates bearing an electropolymerizable bi or terthiophene group have been synthesized via classical radical polymerization and via RAFT process. Polymerizations can be controlled if thiophene moieties have protected a positions; otherwise (…)

• Screening of bromotyramine analogues as antifouling compounds against marine bacteria
  30 May 2017

  Andjouh, S.; Blache, Y. Screening of Bromotyramine Analogues as Antifouling Compounds against Marine Bacteria. Biofouling 2016, 32 (8), 871–881 Abstract :
  Rapid and efficient synthesis of 23 analogues inspired by bromotyramine derivatives, marine natural products, by means of CuSO4-catalysed [3+2] alkyne–azide cycloaddition is described. The final target was then assayed for anti-biofilm activity against three Gram-negative marine bacteria, Pseudoalteromonas ulvae (TC14), (…)

• Relation between the corrosion resistance and the chemical structure of hybrid sol-gel coatings with interlinked inorganic-organic network
  12 May 2021

  PERRIN, F.-X.; ZIARELLI F.; DUPUIS A., Relation between the corrosion resistance and the chemical structure of hybrid sol-gel coatings with interlinked inorganic-organic network, Progress in Organic Coatings, 141, 2020, 105532
  Abstract : Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings have been prepared by a sol-gel route from 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with triethylenetetramine (TETA) added in the sol formulation. The main goal of this research was 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 (…)

• Multiscale investigation of the effect of sizing chemistry on the adhesion and interfacial properties of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy composites
  27 September 2022

  S. Assengone Otogo Be, A. Fahs, L. Belec, S. Belkessam, G. Louarn, J.-F. Chailan, Polymer Composites, 2022, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1002/pc.27064
  Abstract
  The objective of the present work is to understand how the main constituents of sizing modify the interfacial strength, the mechanical properties of epoxy composites as well as their durability. In this study, two model interphases between E-glass fibers and epoxy resin were designed and studied in terms of adhesion and mechanical (…)

• 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 (…)

• Quorum sensing in biofilms: a key mechanism to target in ecotoxicological studies
  4 April 2023

  Lami, R.; Urios, L.; Molmeret, M.; Grimaud, R. Quorum Sensing in Biofilms: A Key Mechanism to Target in Ecotoxicological Studies. Critical Reviews in Microbiology 2022, 1–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/1040841X.2022.2142089
  Abstract Our environment is heavily contaminated by anthropogenic compounds, and this issue constitutes a significant threat to all life forms, including biofilm-forming microorganisms. Cell–cell interactions shape microbial community structures and functions, and (…)
