Self-catalysed frontal polymerisation enables fast and low-energy processing of fibre reinforced polymer composites
Véronique Michaud, Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal, Baris Çaglar
Frontal polymerisation has the potential to bring unprecedented reductions in energy demand and process time to produce fibre reinforced polymer composites. Production of epoxy-based fibre reinforced polymer parts with high fibre volume content, commonly e ...
2024Formaldehyde regulates one-carbon metabolism and epigenetics
Recently, Pham et al. used an array of model systems to uncover a role for the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) -1A, which is mainly expressed in liver, in both sensing formaldehyde and regulating transcriptional responses that protect against i ...
Cell Press2024Influence of Si3N4 fillers and pyrolysis profile on the microstructure of additively manufactured silicon carbonitride ceramics derived from polyvinylsilazane
In this work, various methods were used to improve the printability of a photocurable polyvinylsilazane resin filled with silicon nitride particles for digital light processing. The developed resin was used as a preceramic polymer for polymer-to-ceramic co ...
Taylor & Francis Ltd2024Controlling the Microstructure and Composition of 3D Printed Soft Load-Bearing Hydrogels
Hydrogels are among the first materials expressly designed for their use in biomedicine. However, state-of-the-art applications of hydrogels are severely limited because they are typically either too soft or too brittle such that they cannot bear significa ...
EPFL2023Solid-phase peptide synthesis on disulfide-linker resin followed by reductive release affords pure thiol-functionalized peptides
Christian Heinis, Peter Matei Frisius Pânzar, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Manuel Leonardo Merz, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Zsolt Bognár
Thiol groups are suitable handles for site-selectively modifying, immobilizing or cyclizing individual peptides or entire peptide libraries. A limiting step in producing the thiol-functionalized peptides is the chromatographic purification, which is partic ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Diformylxylose as a new polar aprotic solvent produced from renewable biomass
Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick
Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...
2021Grafting of Alkali Metals on Fumed Silica for the Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Methanol to Formaldehyde
Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski, Jack Brandon
Water free, non-oxidative catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde is an important process for the formation of anhydrous, molecular formaldehyde (FA). Sodium or sodium-containing salts were shown to catalyze the reaction, but their reaction m ...
2021Construction of Functional Superhydrophobic Biochars as Hydrogen Transfer Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles
To endow metal-free materials with the high catalytic activity that is typically featured by a metal-based catalyst is yet a constant pursuit in the field of catalytic chemistry. In this work, novel functional biochars (DCNs) were prepared from wheat straw ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Stabilization strategies in biomass depolymerization using chemical functionalization
Jeremy Luterbacher, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago
A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple sugars, and lignin to phenolic monomers. However, reactive intermediates, generally ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Lignin-Based Thermosets
The need for renewable alternatives for fossil-based aromatic material constituents is evident for a more sustainable society. Lignin is the largest source of naturally occurring aromatic compounds but has mainly been considered as waste material or energy ...
