OIL VOLATILITY-OF-VOLATILITY AND TAIL RISK OF COMMODITIES

open access: yesApplied Finance Letters
We examine the information content of oil volatility-of-volatility (VOV), constructed from the past 1-month OVX (implied volatility in crude oil market), on the expected tail risk of commodities. Specifically, we find oil VOV predicts 1-step-ahead tail risks of Energy, Precious Metals, Agriculture, Livestock sectors and the Aggregate Commodity sector ...

Sugars in Antimicrobial Polymers – The Impact of Sugar‐Lectin Binding in Membrane Interaction of Cationic Glycopolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Photo‐iniferter polymerization is used to create antimicrobial polymers which are decorated with sugar units by either copolymerization of glycomonomers or post‐polymerization functionalization. Although a selectivity based on lectin binding can not be observed, the presence of sugar leads to improved bioactivity based on the presence of neutral ...
