Abstract Glycerol is a byproduct of the biodiesel industry. The target of the following work was to produce a biopolyester based on glycerol, and to blend it with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to increase its ductility. Microwave synthesis was used to conduct the reactions of glycerol with a diacid (sebacic acid) and a mono…

By means of periodic density functional calculations, we have studied the effect of dual doping on the stability and electronic structure of graphene. To this end, we substituted two carbon atoms with one 2p element (B, N, or O) and one 3p element (Al, Si, P or S). We determined that, in all cases, dual doping is much…
