The invention describes a process for microwave-assisted chemical recycling of PUFs to polyether polyols by acidolysis or aminolysis, and the process for purification of the recovered polyols.
The invention enables efficient continuous and fully automated construction progress monitoring in real time, inside and outside the building under construction, without additional work activities, as the wearable devices are installed on all work equipment contributing to the construction. It is a fully automated system that enables the acquisition of 3D data using wearable devices and to identify elements based on their geometry in the 3D digital model of the building. The wearable devices are equipped with a 3D scanner…
A solution for improving alertness and quality interaction between lecturer and audience in two-way audio-video communication platforms.
Zeolites are crystalline sodium aluminosilicate materials with a 3D microporous structure. They are used as catalysts, ion exchangers and adsorbents due to their unique properties such as crystallinity, thermal stability, large specific surface area, ordered microporous structure, presence of catalytically active acid sites, ion exchange properties and ability to selectively separate according to molecular size. ZSM-5 is one of the most widely used zeolite catalyst (T/year, income in mio EUR/$).
BiAR (Biomass Ash Removal) process is capable to separate the organics, which are valid for energetic uses, from inorganic components, which are a limitation for energetic uses but however, contain valuable elements.
The invention relates to chemically inducible split protein actuators (CISPA), particularly to their design, manufacture, structure, and uses. The method of engineering CISPAs utilizes ligand- binding proteins or protein domains originating from humans or other organisms, which are rationally split into two fragments that reassemble only in the presence of a cognate ligand, which is typically a small molecule. The designed CISPAs can be used to regulate cellular processes such as gene expression, conditionally reconstitute of the function of a…
Invention provides a synthetic method to prepare functional macroporous scaffolds composed entirely of synthetic polypeptides by emulsion templating. The materials are distinguished by highly interconnected macroporous morphology and tailored physical and chemical properties.
Due to the growing concern about the environmental footprint of plastics, one of the key trends in modern polymer science is the development of materials that not only possess useful properties but also have inherent (bio)degradability and/or are derived from renewable resources.
They represent “smart” materials with properties that attract an increasing level of interest in a large number of applications, especially in heterogeneous photocatalysis e.g. degrading aquatic, atmospheric or microbial contaminants.
Xanthophylls are oxygenated derivatives of carotenoids and, as natural biologically active compounds with known pharmacological properties, they have many positive effects on human health. For some esterified xanthophylls it was shown that they have superior stability and bioavailability compared to their free form. We have developed an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic platform for the preparation of a variety of xanthophyll esters. This platform can be applied to pigments in pure form (eg., lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, capsanthin, violaxanthin), but extracts…
