Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a bifunctional enzyme with epoxide hydrolase activity in the C-terminal domain (C-EH) and lipid phosphate phosphatase activity in the N-terminal domain (N-phos). The C-EH hydrolyzes bioactive epoxy fatty acids such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET). The N-phos hydrolyzes lipid phosphomonesters, including the signaling molecules of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).

The citrus scent arises from the volatile monoterpene limonene, whose cyclic nature can be viewed as a miniaturized form of the polycyclic sterol triterpenoids. In particular, these rings are all formed from poly-isoprenyl precursors via carbocation cascades. However, the relevant reactions are initiated by distinct mechanisms, either lysis/ionization of an allylic diphosphate ester bond, as in limonene synthases, or protonation of a terminal olefin or epoxide, as in lanosterol synthases.

The mechanism of the base-catalyzed thiol-epoxide stage of the thiol-ene/thiol-epoxide curing process was investigated using quantum chemical tools. This study searched for conventional tertiary amines with low to medium basicity as initiators to control reaction rates and tailor industrial applications. Challenges arise from the stronger basicity of initiators, leading to an uncontrollable and short curing application period.

Sustainable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) blends were compatibilized by the environmentally friendly epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) through the chemical reaction of epoxy functional groups on ESO with the terminated carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of PLA/PPC. The compatibilization effect of ESO was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheological property testing, differential scanning calorimetry, and morphological observations. It was revealed that the molecular chain entanglement between PLA and PPC was significantly enhanced and the dispersed PPC phase size was decreased, which endowed the blend with high viscosity modulus, low tan δ, and great stretchability, especially for the blend containing 1.

Although widely used polymers, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are easily recyclable, complex engineering polymer blends used in the automotive sector involve recycling challenges at the end of life. This study explores the alterations in the properties of compatibilized PA6/TPE blends under multiple thermomechanical recycling conditions, especially for the automotive industry in underhood applications. The compatibilization of PA6/TPE blends was achieved through the incorporation of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles, specifically utilizing variants with three and multiple epoxide functional groups (TriEpPOSS and MultEpPOSS, respectively) in their cage structures.
