A New Separation Metric for the Optimization of AF4 Separations of Polydispersed Nanomaterials

Galyean A.A., Vreeland W.N., Filliben J.J., Holbrook R.D., Weinberg H.S., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US

The development of standardized and optimized methods to monitor the behavior of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in complex environments is considered a critical component in ENM risk assessment. Robust, rigorously optimized methods are currently lacking, in [...]

Fast and Facile Synthesis of Stable and Biocompatible Silver nanoparticles Stabilized by Polyethylene Glycol

Jain S., Singh S., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

Silver nanoparticles show enhanced properties, when supported onto a substrate and incorporated into organic or inorganic matrix. Their remarkable properties are shape and size dependent. Ethylene glycol and its polymers are environment friendly or environmentally [...]

A Green & Clean Process for the Production of Methacrylic Acid and Methacrolein from Biofuel

Lin M.M., Grinberg J., Eng W., EverNu Technology, LLC, US

The modern consumption of fossil fuels for chemical production contributes to global warming and other nature disasters in recent years. Approximately 10% of U.S. crude oil imports are used to feed its chemical industry. There [...]

$/W Costs of Thermoelectric Waste-Heat Recovery for Stationary Applications

LeBlanc S., Yee S.K., Scullin M., George Washington University, US

Interest in thermoelectrics for waste-heat recovery has flourished in recent years, but questions about cost and scalability remain unanswered. Prior work investigated the materials, manufacturing, and system costs and thermal and electrical transport factors that [...]

STEP, Efficient solar syntheses: A comprehensive approach to decreasing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide

Lau J., Licht S., Stuart J., Li F-F, Licht S., Meng F., George Washington University, US

The Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP) was introduced to provide a complete solution to lowering carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (1). STEP utilizes a synergy of thermal and electrochemical energy to drive endothermic processes at [...]

SUSTAINABLE steel production for the 2030s and beyond: the vision of the European Steel Technology Platform’s Strategic Research Agenda

Birat J.P., Malfa E., Colla V., Thomas J.S., ESTEP, BE

Steel is ubiquitous, even if it often remains invisible underneath decorative, protective or functional layers of other materials. This paper presents the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP) Strategic Research Agenda’s vision of how to manage [...]
