Chemical reactions that are powered by light deliver a robust tool for chemists who are developing new methods to make pharmaceuticals and other beneficial compounds. Exploiting this light energy necessitates photoredox catalysts, which can capture light and convey the energy to a chemical reaction.
Researchers from France have reported a combined approach to investigate the adsorption of pharmaceutical ingredients onto plasticized PVC materials. Their findings have been published in ACS Applied Polymer Materials.
Plastic upcycling is progressing mainly due to a newly designed catalyst for breaking down plastics. A team of researchers led by experts at Ames Laboratory produced the first processive inorganic catalyst to break down polyolefin polymers into chemicals to make more valuable products in 2020.
Scientists from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology have reported the facile fabrication of fluorescent silicone elastomers, combining AIE-active polymers with silicone matrixes. Their findings have been published in a paper in ACS Applied Polymer Materials.
Writing in Polymers, a team of scientists from Victor Babe? University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timi?oara, Politehnica University Timisoara, and the National Institute for Research and Development in Electrochemistry and Condensed Matter in Romania have collaborated on a paper investigating the surface properties, color stability, and microhardness of PEEK for dental applications.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the utility of geopolymer and binder jetting for additive manufacturing of inorganic components.
Numerous plastics that are termed biodegradable are not compostable under industrial conditions. However, researchers at the University of Bath have currently discovered an approach to breaking down plastics with the help of UV light.
Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and a team of researchers from Texas A&M University and Yonsei University recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped defect in layered polymers, uncovering how solvents can diffuse through layers and produce color changes.
A paper recently published in the journal Applied Surface Science demonstrated a novel strategy to improve energy density (Ue) in dielectric materials.
