At present, the reserves of fossil fuels become limited, and the excessive utilization of the fossil fuels also subsequently results in global warning. Hydrogen is an interesting renewable energy source for replacing the ...

Polybenzoxazine, a high-performance phenolic resin, was used as a precursor for carbon aerogel electrode of supercapacitors. A cost-effective ambient drying was used for benzoxazine aerogel preparation. After the pyrolysis ...

Hydrogenated biodiesel is referred to as diesel-like hydrocarbons that do not contain oxygen in their molecular structures. Hydrogenated biodiesel can be produced by the hydrotreating of vegetable oils or fatty acids with ...

The transesterification of canola oil with methanol at various conditions such as types of catalysts, catalysts concentrations, reaction temperatures, and the ratios of metal oxide to natural material as a catalyst were ...

Maleimide-terminated poly(arylene ether sulfone) oligomers were synthesized by the nucleophilic step-growth polymerization of bisphenol A phenolates with activated halides at about 150 °C and a required amount of ...

GDC and metal loaded GDC were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The amount of gadolinium doped to ceria was fixed at 10% mole. Cu and Ni were chosen metal catalyst. The influence of hydrolysis molar ratio (h) and acid ...

New organic aerogel was synthesized via thermal curing reaction of a novel type of phenolic resin called polybenzoxazine. The subsequent carbon aerogel (CA) was generated by pyrolysis of the organic aerogel at high temperature ...

Blends of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and a thermoplastic are generally immiscible. They are termed as 'in-situ composites', taking into account of the formation of LCP fibrils capable of reinforcing the resulting ...

Polydiphenylamine (or PDPA) possesses excellent properties: e.g, robustness, relatively inexpensive for a monomer, thermal stability, environmental stability, and stability in a larger pH range. Due to these properties, ...

So-called SBA-15 (well-ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica) is an excellent support for any catalysts because of its high surface area, large pore size, and thick wall. Many metals, for examples, Fe, Ti and Mo, show a great ...
