Although processes exist for the production of isoprene from biomass, these processes suffer from low overall yields or low conversion rates, preventing them from being economically feasible. Researchers aim to design, prepare and implement polymers derived from renewable resources for a wide range of advanced applications. 6b03335.

Cellulases (enzymes) deconstruct lignocellulosic biomass for conversion to biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol and biochemicals. However, lignin, an organic polymer in biomass that binds to and strengthens plant fibers, inactivates the cellulase enzymes via non-productive binding interactions. Whitehead, Chandra K. 7b01202.

Biomass conversion is one of the most affordable routes to generate sustainable H 2 , but this process requires the demanding chemical transformation of lignocellulose. In the interest of increasing the selectivity and efficiency of this conversion, it is possible to replace the thermal input with sunlight. Wakerley, Moritz F.

Additionally, many chemicals relied upon for transportation (such as oils and lubricants) as well as other commodity chemicals and polymer precursors are, and will likely remain, carbon-based. By 2040, enable large-scale biomass production and conversion that allows biofuels to constitute 25% of the US transportation fuel market.

The ORNL/RMX plasma processing technology is a new approach to the oxidation stage of carbon fiber production in which polymer materials are oxidized (or stabilized) before carbonization. Oxidation is the most time-consuming phase of the multistep carbon fiber conversion process.

While high-performance cars generally contain carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) to reduce weight, the partners moved away from the fixed idea of using CFRP. The New Generation Hyundai i30—available in early 2017—reveals how BASF’s solutions convert concepts into reality. The new i30.

The first hydrogen TTO is focused on durable, high activity electrocatalyst with low platinum content and low cost for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. Conventional polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology requires high content of platinum electrocatalyst, which raises manufacturing costs.
