Polymers with a metal backbone
08-Feb-2023 - Until now, it has been clear: you can have a metal or a plastic, but not both in one. However, things don’t have to stay that way. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese research team has now reported a polymer with a metallic backbone that is conductive, thermally stable, and has ...
Chemically functionalized polymer nanoparticles reduce friction on steel surfaces
03-Feb-2023 - Mineral oil lubricants protect engine parts from wear, and this effect is enhanced by adding polymer nanoparticles to the lubricating oil. A UK team has now discovered that epoxy functionalization of these nanoparticles further promotes friction reduction on metal surfaces. As the team reports in ...
Micro and macro X-ray analysis detects lead formate in Rembrandt's Night Watch
31-Jan-2023 - Rembrandt van Rijn was one of the most important Dutch painters of the 17th century. Probably his most famous painting is The Night Watch from 1642, which can be admired today in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. An international team has now identified lead formate in several areas of the Night ...
New milestone: researchers recycle Nylon-6 at mild temperatures and without toxic chemicals
21-Dec-2022 - Nylon-6 is a tough, non-biodegradable plastic that cannot be recycled by conventional methods. A new way has now been introduced by a team from the USA in the journal Angewandte Chemie: with an easily accessible lanthanum trisamido catalyst, Nylon-6 can be depolymerized highly selectively, nearly ...
Organic dyes with persistent delayed fluorescence and ultralong phosphorescence
20-Dec-2022 - A team of researchers from Lithuania has developed organic dyes showing a particularly long afterglow after being excited by light. Doping a polymer with newly synthesized diboraanthracene dyes resulted in an intense red or blue–green dual afterglow, which was composed of persistent thermally ...
Using boron radicals to convert nitrogen to ammonia in solution
16-Dec-2022 - Ammonia is obtained industrially using the Haber–Bosch process, which requires a lot of energy and hydrogen gas. A much milder approach has now been reported by a team of researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie. According to this research, reactive boron compounds can efficiently target ...
Bioengineered microbial community working together to store carbon
14-Dec-2022 - Photosynthesis is a valuable natural system for sequestering carbon dioxide. However, simply forming biomass does not fully exploit this system. A Chinese team of researchers, whose study is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, has now genetically engineered a microbial community which ...
Fungi convert polyethylene waste into pharmacologically useful metabolic products
30-Nov-2022 - Plastic waste is one of the most significant ecological and economic problems of our time. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team has now introduced a chemical–biological method for upcycling polyethylene waste: catalytic cleavage is used to make carboxylic diacids that are ...
Some reactions in the reverse Krebs cycle can also be run under meteorite catalysis
25-Nov-2022 - Naturally occurring chemical reactions may have evolved into the biochemical processes we know today. A team of researchers has now discovered that a reaction sequence from the so-called reverse Krebs cycle—a fundamental biochemical process—can also take place without enzymes. The team writes in ...
Low toxicity, high efficiency: ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots as photocatalysts
15-Nov-2022 - Chemistry is increasingly making use of the trick plants can do with photosynthesis: driving chemical reactions that run poorly or do not occur spontaneously at all with light energy. This requires suitable photocatalysts that capture light energy and make it available for the reaction. In the ...
