The power of computational modeling and simulation for establishing clear links between materials’ intrinsic properties and their atomic structure has more and more increased the demand for reliable and reproducible protocols. Despite this increased demand, no one approach can provide reliable and reproducible outcomes to predict the properties of ...

A single material combining the unique properties of stable radical moieties with the versatility of the epoxy polymer is presented. Electrical conduction for any material is mostly achieved using metals, metal-organics, or organic conductors with extended π-orbital frameworks. However, in this combined material, intrinsic electronic conduction is ...

The high-volume manufacture of fiber-reinforced composites faces a huge challenge because long resin curing times put a low ceiling on the total output of parts produced per year. To translate the benefits from using epoxy in large-volume production platforms, cure cycle times of less than 1 min must be achieved. In this work, we report solvate ion...

Epoxy resin will continue to be in the forefront of many thermoset applications due to its versatile properties. However, with advancement in manufacturing, changing societal outlook for the chemical industries and emerging technologies that disrupt conventional approaches to thermoset fabrication, there is a need for a multifunctional epoxy resin ...
Complexes, compositions, articles of manufacture, and method for making the same are provided herein. In one embodiment, a borate-polyol complex may be prepared by reacting a boron-containing compound and a polyol to form a reaction mixture and then neutralizing the reaction mixture to form a neutralized borate-polyol complex. The neutralized borat...

This review describes the recent developments in the field of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, in particular with regard to ligand-free catalysis. The catalysts outlined here allow convenient and green synthetic pathways specifically for the construction of C-C bonds. They enable the synthesis of biaryls by the coupling arylboronic acids wit...
Horticultural produce is stored in corrugated boxes in coolrooms under high and variable humidity conditions. As the boxes are stacked up, they experience compressive loads under which they creep and buckle and may fail. In the present work, citric acid was used for covalent crosslinking of linerboard and the outer linerboards of corrugated boxes. ...

Fibre crosslinking with polycarboxylic acids can be used to improve certain properties of paper products, including wet tensile and compressive strength. In the present work it was proposed that citric acid (CA) crosslinks the cellulosic fibres of linerboard by self-catalysed esterification of cellulosic hydroxyl groups, which makes an additional c...
