γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is considered a very interesting green, bio-based platform chemical with high application potential. We here describe research activities on the one-pot catalytic synthesis of GVL from C6-sugar sources (D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose and cellulose) using an acid catalyst in combination hydrogenation (Ru/C) either molecular hydrogen or formic as donor. When acid, highest yield (52 mol%) was obtained at 180 °C, 16 h reaction time D-fructose source. The major by-products...

A simple and fast method to prepare robust superhydrophobic octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) coating on oxidized copper mesh for self-cleaning oil/water separation is reported here. The substrate of the was first by immersion in an aqueous solution 1.0 M NaOH 0.05 K2S2O8 at room temperature 30 min, which then covered with micro- nanoscale Cu(OH)2 surface. Subsequently, immersed 2 × 10(-4) acid/tetrahydrofuran (ODPA/THF) solution, ODPA formed oxidised mesh. formation process takes place...

Solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, holds significant promise for addressing water shortages. Utilizing solar evaporation is seen an effective solution in this regard. While many existing interfacial photothermal systems rely on nanoparticles or graphene support materials, study introduced polydopamine (PDA) material due to its environmental friendliness excellent photon absorption characteristics that closely match the spectrum. Polystyrene (PS) was also porous structure...

A novel ultralight superhydrophobic-superoleophilic hybrid Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) film with double-layer structures is fabricated by using vacuum filtration method. The CNTs can separate various surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions a separation efficiency higher than 99.3%. Moreover, the films be regenerated through simple and rapid combustion process within 2 s. In addition, still retains good hydrophobic properties under conditions of physical abrasion, strong acidic alkaline...

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been applied in aerospace engineering as deployable space structures. In this work, the coupled finite element method (FEM) was established based on generalized Maxwell model and time–temperature equivalence principle (TTEP). The thermodynamic behavior shape effects of a single-arm deployment structure (F-DS) four-arm SMPs were analyzed using FEM. Good consistency obtained between experimental data simulation for tensile S-DS recovery forces, verifying that...
