Interaction between Volatile Organic Compounds and Functional Monomers in Molecularly Imprinted Materials

Luga C., Ortíz E., Noreña L., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been playing an increasingly important role in volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing for air quality control. The unique feature of these materials is their biomimetic molecular recognition functionality. Theoretical chemistry [...]

Density Functional Theory calculations of the ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene) copolymers

Cuán A., Cortés-Romero C.M., Wang Q., Noreña L., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

The quantum mechanics calculations of the energetic and structures corresponding to the different structural conformations for the poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene) copolymers show that the Tp conformation is energetically stabilized even with a chlorine [...]

Study of the ferroelectric properties for PVDF using DFT Theory

Ortíz E., Cuán A., Badillo C., Wang Q., Noreña L., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) exhibits piezoelectricity effect. In this work, it is presented a theoretical study of some properties of this material which were calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT). Among those properties are: polarizability, dipolar [...]
