The incorporation of Sn, Hf and Zr in the structure of Beta zeolite using a post-synthetic method gives catalysts with Lewis acidity that are effective for the conversion of C6 sugars to alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such ...

This study describes the synthesis and characterization of sulfonated poly(styreneisobutylene- styrene) (SIBS) polymer nanocomposite membranes, which show antibacterial properties useful for the inactivation of Enterococci ...

Organic solar cells are a very promising technology for use in the renewable energy field. Band gap measurements on liquid phase for different polymers were studied, and the possible radiation harvest and reasoning for ...

Poly(-dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) has been the main polymer employed in micro and nano scale devices. Its chemical and physical properties are ideal for molding and soft patterning of microfluidic devices. Despite the great ...

The direct conversion of methane to useful chemicals is economically attractive owing to the vast availability of natural gas resources. Nevertheless, a fundamental limitation is the chemical inertness and stability of the ...

The rapid growth of the global population, the industrialization and environmental problems caused by global warming have made it necessary to implement advanced water purification techniques capable of fulfilling the ...

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is an alternative to mitigate the problems caused by global warming. Industrially, methanol is produced by hydrogenation of CO2/CO over heterogeneous catalyst Cu/ZnO/Al2O3. ...
