The vat-based 3D printing of a chemical reactor with flow-meter geometry from an isocyanate-functionalized acrylate monomer followed by post-processing with amino-functionalized photocatalysts is described. This approach results in solvent- and air-stable flow photochemical reactors with UV-A transparent windows that can be applied for photooxygenation and photo redox catalysis.

The fabrication of objects with complex shape and geometry has been greatly facilitated with the advancements in additive manufacturing. While synthetic polymers like ABS and PLA have found widespread use in extrusion 3D printing, other biobased thermoplastics that are both biodegradable and biocompatible could offer strategic advantages over traditional synthetic materials. In this work dextran of low (20 kDa) and medium (40 kDa) molecular weight (MW) was modified with palmitic acid to obtain meltable polymers for extrusion 3D printing/fused deposition modeling additive manufacturing.

Understanding the droplet coalescence/merging is vital for many areas of microfluidics such as biochemical reactors, drug delivery, inkjet printing, oil recovery, etc. In the present study, we carried out numerical simulations of two magnetic droplets suspended in a nonmagnetic fluid matrix and coalescing under the influence of an external magnetic field. We observed that the applied magnetic field played a key role in the merging dynamics of the magnetic droplets.

Inorganic/inorganic composites are found in multiple applications crucial for the energy transition, from nuclear reactors to energy storage devices. Their microstructures dictate their properties from mass transport to fracture resistance. Consequently, there has been a multitude of processes developed to control them, from powder mixing and the use of short or long fibers, to tape casting for laminates up to recent 3D printing.

Background: Biotechnologies that utilize microorganisms as production hosts for lipid synthesis will enable an efficient and sustainable solution to produce lipids, decreasing reliance on traditional routes for production (either petrochemical or plant-derived) and supporting a circular bioeconomy. To realize this goal, continuous biomanufacturing processes must be developed to maximize productivity and minimize costs compared to traditional batch fermentation processes.

Results: Here, we utilized biofilms of the marine bacterium, Marinobacter atlanticus, to produce wax esters from succinate (i.

Engineered nanomaterials are widely used in water and wastewater treatment processes, and minimizing their adverse effects on biological treatment processes in wastewater treatment plants has become the primary focus. In this study, activated carbon fiber (ACF)-loaded manganese oxide nanomaterials (MnOx@ACF) were synthesized. A small-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was constructed to simulate the synergistic degradation of pollutants by nanomaterials and microorganisms and the effects of nanomaterials on the structure of the microbial community in a wastewater treatment plant.
