A German consortium involving four companies and and two universities is developing dielectric elastomers (electroactive polymers) for the conversion of mechanical energy—in this case wave power—into electrical power. A scale model is to be tried out in the wave canal of the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg.

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs), found in methanotrophic bacteria, are selective catalysts for methane activation and conversion to methanol under mild conditions; however, these enzymes are not amenable to standard enzyme immobilization approaches. The enzymes retain up to 100% activity in the polymer construct. Blanchette et al.
