Crystal Engineering of Reticular Materials for Gas- and Liquid-Phase Hydrocarbon Separation. [PDF]

Adv Mater
Crystal engineering enables systematic study of structure/function relationships as exemplified by pore engineering of reticular sorbents, including porous coordination networks and covalent organic frameworks. This review assesses such studies applied across the full scope of industrially relevant hydrocarbon separations to provide insight into how ...

A Natural Lignification Inspired Super-Hard Wood-Based Composites with Extreme Resilience. [PDF]

Adv Mater
Super‐hard wood‐based composites (WBC) are designed and developed inspired by the mesoscale homogeneous lignification process intrinsic to tree growth. This innovative hybrid structure is achieved by leveraging the infusion of low‐molecular‐weight phenol formaldehyde resin into the cell walls of thin wood slices, followed by a unique multi‐layer ...

Bioavailable Dissolved Organic Carbon Serves as a Key Regulator of Phosphorus Dynamics in Stream Biofilms. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
We tested the effect of bioavailable DOC on P entrapment in biofilms and in biofilm P‐regulation mechanisms such as polyphosphate accumulation and alkaline phosphatase activity in semi‐natural experimental flumes. Our results show that intracellular P entrapment is limited by bioavailable DOC, while extracellular P entrapment is independent of ...

Day‐night variation of microbial organic matter use in sediments of a saline shallow lake

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 711-725, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Knowledge of microbial functioning linked to dissolved organic matter (DOM) in hypersaline lakes is limited. This study aimed to understand this relationship in surface and subsurface sediments and how it is affected by daytime and night‐time variability.

Acidic wood extractives accelerate the curing process of emulsion polymer isocyanate adhesives

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 139, Issue 21, June 5, 2022., 2022
We systematically investigated the interactions between emulsion polymer isocyanate (EPI) adhesive and extracts of seven wood species using different analytical techniques, especially an Fourier‐transform infrared‐rheometer combination. Significant interactions between the adhesive and extracts of chestnut and oak wood, as well as the selected ...

Effect of Melamine Allocation Proportion on Chemical Structures and Properties of Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde Resins

BioResources, 2015
Melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin was synthesized by adding melamine with a first and second portion of urea, named M1 and M2, respectively. Different allocation proportions of M1:M2 (4:0, 3:1, 2:2, 1:3, and 0:4) were used to develop five MUF (MUF-1,

Dissolved organic phosphorus utilization by the marine bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3 reveals chain length‐dependent polyphosphate degradation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2259-2269, May 2022., 2022
Summary Dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) is a critical nutritional resource for marine microbial communities. However, the relative bioavailability of different types of DOP, such as phosphomonoesters (P‐O‐C) and phosphoanhydrides (P‐O‐P), is poorly understood. Here we assess the utilization of these P sources by a representative bacterial copiotroph,
