TL;DR: In this paper, the main characteristics of poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, and its copolymers for use as separator membranes in lithium-ion battery applications are summarized.

TL;DR: It is proposed for the first time that the combination of a sol−gel derived diurethane cross-linked siloxane-based biohybrid host including short poly(e-caprolactone) segments and lanthanide aquocomplexes incorporating β-diketonate ligands yields an effective protecting cage that efficiently encapsulates the emitting centers and reduces luminescence quenching.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synoptical review of food additives used as preservatives (antimicrobial agents) authorized in the European Union, considering its characteristics, uses and side effects is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene) porous membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation at room temperature for lithium ion battery separator applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of amorphous Eu3+-doped hybrid organic/inorganic materials prepared by the sol-gel process is presented, where the host matrix of the so-called ureasils is a silica network to which oligopolyoxyethylene chains are grafted by means of urea bonds.
