Article Synopsis
  • Researchers modified biobased polylactide (PLA) films by applying a low reticulate polysiloxane gel to enhance their surface properties, specifically making them more hydrophilic.
  • The modification involved coating the PLA with poly(methylhydrogenosiloxane) (PMHS) and then incorporating hydrophilic molecules like triethylene glycol monomethyl allyl (TEGMEA) and a new zwitterionic compound for improved water interaction.
  • Tests showed that the modified PLA films were much wetter (lower water contact angles) and maintained good biocompatibility, which reduces protein and bacterial adhesion, indicating their potential for medical applications.

Electrochemical converters (electrolyzers, fuel cells, and batteries) have gained prominence during the last decade for the unavoidable energy transition and the sustainable synthesis of platform chemicals. One of the key elements of these systems is the electrode material on which the electrochemical reactions occur, and therefore its design will impact their performance. This review focuses on the electrospinning method by examining a number of features of experimental conditions.
