Issue 9 of JCTB includes an In Focus section of the The 12th International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference.
New bio-based polyol with excellent characteristics
BASF presents a new resin produced from renewable raw material without any disadvantage compared to petrochemical produced polyol.
Improved battery performance from tin oxide anodes
New form of tin oxide anode combined with carbon nanotubes shows increased electrical performance in lithium and sodium ion batteries.
Printing Glass
Mediated Matter Group in collaboration with MIT have introduced a novel optically transparent glass printing process.
Easy phase transitions spur high piezoelectric responses
First-principles calculations reveal a flat energy landscape between the coexisting polymorphs in strained BiFeO3 thin films, which may lead to enhanced piezoelectric response.
Heat Management for Flexible Devices
Researchers have come up with a unique materials design and integration strategy that can overcome limitations of flexible micro-VCSELs.
High-performance wings in production
Next generation of Airbus’ wings intend to make aircraft faster, more efficient and quieter.
Face the Edges: Edges of nanomaterials
Edges of nanomaterials show special and exciting properties and are important for the performance of catalysts or for materials such as graphene.
A new concept for quasi-superlattice-based transistors
Researchers present a new concept for solution-processed low-dimensional metal oxide quasi-superlattice-based transistors with dramatically enhanced electron mobilities.
First precise 9-arm 9-component star polymer
Precise synthesis of multi-armed and multi-component star-branched polymers was achieved using living anionic polymerization in a new iterative approach.
