Towards highly selective ethylene epoxidation catalysts using hydrogen peroxide and tungsten- or niobium-incorporated mesoporous silicate (KIT-6)
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-12-01)Significant ethylene epoxidation activity was observed over Nb- and W-incorporated KIT-6 materials with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidant and methanol as solvent under mild operating conditions (35 °C and 50 ... -
Gradient static-strain stimulation in a microfluidic chip for 3D cellular alignment
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-02-01)Cell alignment is a critical factor to govern cellular behavior and function for various tissue engineering applications ranging from cardiac to neural regeneration. In addition to physical geometry, strain is a crucial ... -
Liquid phase oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid at medium-high temperatures: multiple benefits of CO2-expanded liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010-02)The Co/Mn/Br catalyzed oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid (TPA) is demonstrated in CO2-expanded solvents at temperatures lower than those of the traditional Mid-Century (MC) process. As compared with the traditional ... -
Environmental impacts of ethylene production from diverse feedstocks and energy sources
(SpringerOpen, 2013-06-01)Quantitative cradle-to-gate environmental impacts for ethylene production from naphtha (petroleum crude), ethane (natural gas) and ethanol (corn-based) are predicted using GaBi® software. A comparison reveals that the ... -
Chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells in human umbilical cord stroma with PGA and PLLA scaffolds
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)The stem cells in the umbilical cord stroma, or Wharton's jelly, are referred to as human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (hUCMSCs) and have been shown to differentiate along a chondrogenic lineage. The aim of ... -
