Direct Conversion of Mono- and Polysaccharides into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Ionic-Liquid Mixtures

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich

Platform chemicals are usually derived from petrochemical feedstocks. A sustainable alternative commences with lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable feedstock, but one that is highly challenging to process. Ionic liquids (ILs) are able to solubilize biomass ...

Fabrication process of silicone-based dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi, Samuel Schlatter

This contribution demonstrates the fabrication process of dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs). DETs are stretchable capacitors consisting of an elastomeric dielectric membrane sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. The large actuation strains of ...

The influence of interunit carbon–carbon linkages during lignin upgrading

Jeremy Luterbacher, Li Shuai, Masoud Talebi Amiri

The cleavage of β-O-4 linkages in lignin can generate monomers with a phenyl propane structure that can easily be upgraded into valuable hydrocarbon biofuels and renewable aromatic chemicals. High-yield lignin monomer production from extracted (or technica ...

Improving Heterogeneous Catalyst Stability for Liquid-phase Biomass Conversion and Reforming

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz

Biomass is a possible renewable alternative to fossil carbon sources. Today, many bio-resources can be converted to direct substitutes or suitable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. However, catalyst deactivation under the harsh, often liqui ...

Synthesis of poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant and its use in the synthesis of polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate nanoparticles containing azo-dye

Thomas Geiger, Yee Song Ko

A synthetic path to poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide), a substitute for the "KLE" surfactant was developed. For this purpose, mono hydroxyl end-functionalized poly(ethylene-co-butylene) (similar to 3800 g mol(-1)) was modified with a tr ...

Carbon nanotubes-SU8 composite for flexible conductive inkjet printable applications

Jürgen Brugger, László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Richard Gaal, Kristopher Pataky, Marijana Mionic Ebersold

We have developed a conducting composite based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and bisphenol A novolak epoxy resin (SU8) for inkjet printing purposes. We could deposit regular conducting stripes and arrays of 150 mu m spots on glass and on flexible polyet ...

Styrene oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in ionic liquids: the role of the solvent on the competition between two Pd-catalyzed processes, oxidation and dimerization

Paul Joseph Dyson

A series of hydrophilic N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium-and N,N-dimethylpiperidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) have been prepared and applied as reaction media in the Wacker oxidation of styrene by hydrogen peroxide using PdCl2 as the catalyst. The efficiency of ...
