Modified Polysaccharides in Laundry Applications as Soil Release and Anti‐Redeposition Additives
ABSTRACT Polymers play an important role within modern laundry formulations, enhancing their cleaning performance by aiding in the release of soil from textiles and helping to prevent soil resettling upon the textiles during washing. Most of these polymers are derived from non‐renewable petrochemical sources; however, a combination of factors ...

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship among the density, crystallinity, and moisture barrier properties of poly(l‐lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(d‐lactic acid) films (PDLA), and their PLLA/PDLA blends (85/15, 70/30, 50/50, and 30/70). Amorphous film samples display densities between 1,230 ± 6 and 1,243 ± 2 kg m−3, while semi‐crystalline samples show

ABSTRACT Actinobacillus succinogenes is a ruminal microorganism of biotechnological importance due to its capacity to produce succinic acid at high yields. Despite the scientific interest in this organism, molecular vehicles for the transfer and expression of genetic material are limited compared to the existing demand.

Abstract Acetobacterium woodii is known to produce mainly acetate from CO2 and H2, but the production of higher value chemicals is desired for the bioeconomy. Using chain‐elongating bacteria, synthetic co‐cultures have the potential to produce longer‐chained products such as caproic acid.

Technical lignin‐derived liquid polyols for flexible polyurethane foam in automotive seating
Abstract In this study, three different technical lignins from different biomass sources (softwood, hardwood, and wheat straw) and isolation processes (kraft, hydrolysis, and organosolv) were used to synthesize liquid lignin polyols by oxyalkylating lignin with propylene carbonate, a safe and environmentally friendly solvent.

Implanting MoS2 quantum dots on MgB2 nanosheets for lithium–sulfur batteries
Herein, MoS2 QDs@MgB2 nanosheet was synthesized. The MoS2 QDs can inhibit the stacking of MgB2 nanosheet, and also expose more unsaturated metal active sites, which effectively improves the adsorption of LiPSs and suppresses its shuttle effect. The Li–S battery using MoS2 QDs@MgB2 as the sulfur host material and MgB2@PP as the separator has high rate ...

Thermally driven hydrogen compression using metal hydrides
This article overviews R&D activities related to the thermally‐driven hydrogen compression utilising metal hydrides. The focus is put on the interrelation between properties of metal hydride materials and their hydrogen compression performances, first, operating pressure – temperature range, process productivity and efficiency.
