<title>Abstract</title> Automated high-throughput screening is accelerating and changing the way we discover design world around us. High-throughput screening, in which robotic liquid solid handling systems investigate chemical material combinations, critical to next big leap scientific advancement. Because high viscosity materials are difficult for liquid-handling systems, researchers fields like polymer composite chemistry still need synthesize, mix, cast, characterize formulations by...
Abstract Ionic liquids (ILs) are effective solvents for biomass. Refined cellulose is commonly used; however, recent interest has grown to consider woody and herbaceous biomass industrial crop residues like fruit peels. Here, the authors report results on dissolution shaping of cotton coffee (cascara) in 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐inium acetate ([DBUH][OAc]). Cascara a high‐volume, low‐value residue that poses an environmental economic burden producer countries leading high‐value...
Microplastics are a growing environmental concern, with large body of evidence documenting substantial distribution plastic material in virtually all compartments. Countermeasures that help to bind, aggregate, or coalesce these distributed particles might result lower human and animal exposures. Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have been identified as viable microplastic (MP) capture mechanism range potential use conditions. As any countermeasure, there is need evaluate their collection...
