Synthesis of α-methylene-δ-valerolactone and its selective polymerization from a product mixture for concurrent separation and polymer production by Khechfe, Alexander A, Eckstrom, Francesca D, Chokkapu, Eswara Rao, Baston, Lucas A, Liu, Bowei, Chen, Eugene Y-X, Román-Leshkov, Yuriy

“…Using a model mixture of 30 wt% of MVL in DVL, vinyl-addition polymerization converted MVL to the corresponding vinyl polymer (PMVL)VAP in 98% yield, while DVL was recovered in 96% yield by distillation. Alternatively, ring-opening polymerization of the same mixture resulted in a DVL/MVL copolyester and separatable vinyl homopolymer P(MVL)VAP.…”

Biochemical Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film Degradation Kinetics of Engineered IsPETase Variants by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda

“…I developed a kinetic assay based on spectrophotometric measurements of UVabsorbance of the products in the reaction supernatant, as degradation products harboring the benzene ring will absorb between 240-280 nm. The method was found to be reliable to obtain relative measurements of initial reaction rates but cannot be used to determine the absolute concentration of products in the supernatant. …”

Two kinds of phase transition in photonic systems with application to optical isolation by Zhou, Xin

“…We study three representative designs: (i) a waveguide array implementing a nonlinear 1D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, (ii) a waveguide array implementing a nonlinear 2D Haldane model, and (iii) a 2D lattice of coupled-ring waveguides. In the first two cases, we find a correspondence between the topological transition of the underlying linear lattice and the power threshold of the transmittance, and show that the transmission behavior is attributable to the emergence of a self-induced topological soliton. …”

Controlling selectivity in the reductive activation of CO2 by mixed sandwich uranium(iii) complexes by Tsoureas, N, Castro, L, Kilpatrick, A, Cloke, FGN, Maron, L

“…The nature of the R group on the cyclopentadienyl ring in the former has a significant effect on the outcome of CO2 activation: when R = Me, the products are the bridging oxo complex {U[η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2](η5-CpMe5)}2(μ-O) and the bridging oxalate complex {U[η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2](η5-CpMe5)}2(μ-η2:η2-C2O4); for R = Et or iPr, bridging carbonate {U[η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2](η5-CpMe4R)}2(μ-η1:η2-CO3) and bridging oxalate complexes {U[η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2](η5-CpMe4R)}2(μ-η2:η2-C2O4) are formed in both cases; and when R = tBu the sole product is the bridging carbonate complex {U[η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2](η5-CpMe4tBu)}2(μ-η1:η2-CO3). …”
