Enhanced Heat Transfer Catalyst Structures for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
(2012-01-10)
Highly exothermic catalytic reactions are problematic from a thermal management perspective and often dictate the type of reactor, heat exchanger, level of conversion/recycle and contacting schemes employed. Those reactions, ...
Bio-oil Production through Fast Pyrolysis and Upgrading to “Green” Transportation Fuels
(2012-05-04)
Fast pyrolysis process produces a high yield of liquid (a.k.a. bio-oil) and has emerged as one of the techniques to produce transportation fuel from different types of biomass. Nonetheless, some of the properties inherent ...
Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Using PEG-Fibrinogen Hydrogel Microspheres
(2012-05-15)
Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and current treatments are either ineffective at significantly prolonging lifespan or are unavailable to the majority of patients in need due to a lack of supply. ...
Multi-Enzyme System for the Rapid Metabolism of Ethanol: Kinetics and Conjugation Within pH-Sensitive Hydrogel
(2012-05-07)
Biohybrid materials, or materials utilizing biological molecules in their rational design, are prime therapeutic carrier candidates to perform detoxification processes. Specifically, catabolic processing of alcohol is a ...
Chemical Functionalization of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Compatibilization with Unsaturated Polyester Resin
(2012-05-10)
This research represents the first fundamental investigation into the tailored surface chemistry of single-walled carbon nanotubes for incorporation with unsaturated polyester resin and provides a foundation for the ...
Peptide Grafted Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogel as Biomaterial for Endothelial Colony Forming Cells
(2012-07-27)
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have the potential to become a reliable source of autologous cells for endothelialization of intravascular devices and vascularization of tissue engineered constructs. Endothelial colony ...
