Automation is increasingly present in the construction industry, whether at the design, manufacturing or assembly stage. Thanks to new technologies, such as robotics, new ways of designing structural elements can be imagined and implemented. Complex method ...
The present invention relates to process intensification, and renewable processing routes for polymer production, for example the solar production of Nylon 6,6 and precursors relevant for the Nylon 6,6 production (such as hydrogen, adiponitrile and hexaned ...
Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...
The water-splitting reaction provides a promising mechanism to store renewable energies in the form of hydrogen fuel. The oxidation half-reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is a complex four-electron process that constitutes an efficiency bottle ...
Reported herein is an unprecedented copper-catalyzed arylation of remote C(sp3)-H bonds. Stirring a trifluorotoluene solution of either N fluorocarboxamides or N-fluorosulfonamides and arylboronic acids in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) t ...
At low pH, underwater adherence between poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels and poly(acrylic acid) brushes is due to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds. The effect of the key parameters controlling the formation of these interactions (contact time ...
Dominant efficacy of the new developed ‘‘externally bonded reinforcement on grooves” (EBROG) technique in comparison with ‘‘externally bonded reinforcement” (EBR) method has been previously shown when fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used for st ...
Development of technologies using hydrogen as an energy carrier instead of fossil fuels is strongly required today. Especially, new, reversible, sustainable hydrogen storage technologies have received increasing attention. Formic acid (FA) and methanol (CH ...
Macozinone (MCZ) is a tuberculosis (TB) drug candidate that specifically targets the essential flavoenzyme DprE1, thereby blocking synthesis of the cell wall precursor decaprenyl phosphoarabinose (DPA) and provoking lysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As ...
With an increase of computational capabilities, ab initio molecular dynamics becomes the natural choice for exploring the nuclear dynamics of solids. As based on classical mechanics, the validity of this approach is, in-principle, limited to the high-T reg ...
