Modified Polysaccharides in Laundry Applications as Soil Release and Anti‐Redeposition Additives

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Density and Crystallinity Correlations: Enhancing Moisture Barrier Properties in Poly(l‐Lactic Acid), Poly(d‐Lactic Acid), and Stereocomplex‐Poly(l,d‐Lactic Acid) Films

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
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

Construction and Characterization of Novel Shuttle Expression Vectors for Actinobacillus succinogenes

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
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.

Novel synthetic co‐culture of Acetobacterium woodii and Clostridium drakei using CO2 and in situ generated H2 for the production of caproic acid via lactic acid

open access: yesEngineering in Life Sciences, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
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

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
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 ...
