Residual semi-crystalline particles released during enzymatic degradation of plastics
Michael Schindler, Ludwik Leibler
Enzymatic recycling of plastics is limited by the presence of semi-crystalline spherulites that are recalcitrant to enzymatic depolymerization. Depending on the quality of the wast…
Theory for enzymatic degradation of semi-crystalline polymer particles
Michael Schindler, Hernan Garate, Ludwik Leibler
In enzymatic recycling or biodegradation of semi-crystalline plastic waste, crystalline spherulites embedded into an amorphous matrix hinder and slow down depolymerisation. When th…
Dynamic Heterogeneity of Short Semi-crystalline Polymer Chains during Recrystallization
Maziar Heidari, Matthieu Labousse, Ludwik Leibler
The instant crystallization of semi-crystalline polymers have become possible following the recent advances in Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) and enables to make a bridge between…
Mechanical activation of reversible bonds by low amplitude high frequencies excitations
Maziar Heidari, Théophile Gaichies, Ludwik Leibler +1
Reversible covalent or supramolecular bonds play an important role in materials science and in biological systems. The equilibrium between open and closed bonds and the association…
Phase separation and self-assembly in vitrimers: hierarchical morphology of molten and semi-crystalline polyethylene/dioxaborolane maleimide systems
Ralm G. Ricarte, François Tournilhac, Ludwik Leibler
Vitrimers - a class of polymer networks which are covalently crosslinked and insoluble like thermosets, but flow when heated like thermoplastics - contain dynamic links and/or cros…
Phase-separation of miscible liquids in a centrifuge
Yoav Tsori, Ludwik Leibler
We show that a liquid mixture in the thermodynamically stable homogeneous phase can undergo a phase-separation transition when rotated at sufficiently high frequency . This phas…
