Wetting‐Driven Transfer of Flexible Ultra‐Thin Temperature Sensors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A wetting‐driven transfer approach enables ultra‐thin temperature sensors to be transferred from a super‐hydrophilic donor substrate onto rigid, curved, and biological receiver substrates. By combining controlled wetting with a conformal Parylene carrier layer, the method preserves stable thermal sensing performance while expanding the integration of ...

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

Waste materials superuse and upcycling in architecture: design and experimentation

Techne, 2018
The research programme on the implementation of circular economy in the built environment, whose urgency is acknowledged both at national and at EU level, works on two complementary approaches: reuse (superuse) and recycling (upcycling).

Separation and Valorization of Chlorine From Tail Gas Streams

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A commercially available ion exchange resin was found to adsorb chlorine gas selectively in the presence of other gases reversibly forming the corresponding trichloride species [IEx][Cl3]. This discovery was telescoped to an efficient process for the recycling and valorization of chlorine from industrially abundant tail gas streams to base chemicals ...

Engineered microbes to enable a circular economy for biodegradable plastics

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plastic pollution resulting from the continued dominance of fossil-derived polymers is a major global environmental challenge. Although biodegradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), polybutylene succinate (PBS ...

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Polystyrene Over Fe–B Composite Catalyst for Enhanced Liquid Fuel Production

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare derived polystyrene waste represents a growing and under addressed fraction of plastic waste streams due to contamination risks and limited recyclability. This study aims to investigate the valorization of waste polystyrene foam through catalytic and noncatalytic pyrolysis pathways to evaluate product yield distribution and identify
