Hydrothermally Stable Sulfonated Carbons as Solid Acid Catalysts for the Hydrolysis of Lignocellulose
The recycling of homogeneous acids imposes great challenges to the feasibility of lignocellulose hydrolysis processes. Although heterogeneous catalysts would offer a perspective to circumvent these challenges, conventional solid acids are instable under th ...
EPFL2019Placing unprecedented recent fir growth in a European-wide and Holocene-long context
Forest decline played a pivotal role in motivating Europe's political focus on sustainability around 35 years ago. Silver fir (Abies alba) exhibited a particularly severe dieback in the mid-1970s, but disentangling biotic from abiotic drivers remained chal ...
Ecological Soc Amer2014Analytical modeling of local stresses at Balsa/timber core joints of FRP sandwich structures
Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Michael Osei-Antwi
In order to optimize sandwich structures, core materials of different density and thus different stiffness and strength are often combined. The material discontinuities at joints of dissimilar core materials may lead to abrupt changes of the shear angles a ...
