Synergistic Co-Pyrolysis of Biomass and Natural Gas over HZSM-5 Catalysts
(2016-05-01)Bio-oil produced from pyrolysis of lignocellulose biomass is regarded as a potential intermediate to synthesize renewable hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. However, the utilization of bio-oil has been challenged by undesirable ... -
Syntheses of organic macromolecules via mechanochemistry and bioinspired antimicrobials
(2022-12)Due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature, polylactic acid (PLA) has found widespread use in biomedical applications. Controlled drug delivery using PLA-based nanoparticles (PLA-NPs) is an important tool for tuning ... -
Synthesis and applications of early transition metal oxides
(2014-05)An optimized synthesis of sodium molybdenum bronze was presented using 1/3 of the expensive Na2MoO4*2H2O buffer as the conventional method. The need for a N2 atmosphere was also eliminated. Further, the reaction time was ... -
Synthesis and applications of tungsten and vanadium oxides/oxyhydroxides in both bulk and nanoparticulate forms
(2016-12)The reactions of tungstic acid towards alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles were explored in order to determine the scope of its reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons. The chemistry was found to be complex with small changes ... -
Synthesis and characterization of chiral germanium compounds for asymmetric hydrogermylation of organic compounds
(2021-07)Oligogermanes have long been studied and analyzed due to their innate ability to undergo o-delocalization along the Ge-Ge backbone. Due to this property, oligogermanes can exhibit unique optical and electrical properties, ... -
Synthesis and characterization of electron donor/acceptor subphthalocyanine derivatives and porphyrin metal complexes
(2013-07)Multicomponent electron-donor acceptor systems incorporating supramolecules such as porphryins, phthalocyanines, subphthalocyanines, and perylenes have gained utmost importance in various fields of optoelectronics. ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanosized hybrid polymer modifier (hpm) for improved mechanical and thermal behaviour of composites
(2022-05)Lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites are replacing metallic components in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their improved strength-to-weight ratios and fatigue resistance. Despite their ...
