By carefully choosing the reaction conditions, we have developed the controllable FeCl- or CuCl-mediated dehydrazinative hydrogenation or chlorination of 3,3-difluoroallyl hydrazines to access α-CFH or α-CFCl styrenes. The current reaction provides for the first time a facile method for the direct and selective synthesis of α-CFH and α-CFCl styrenes starting from the same precursors, which is easy to scale up and displays a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Moreover, product derivatization experiments demonstrated that the resulting α-CFCl styrenes are practical and versatile building blocks for the diversified synthesis of fluorinated molecules.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printing is one of the most all-purpose manufacturing techniques, allowing many complicated parts to be obtained at lower cost. This is especially important in prosthetics, where more complex prostheses, especially of a hand, can cause enormous expense. However, providing the full functionality of a prosthesis often requires combining materials with different properties, such as rigidity and flexibility.

The article discusses the importance of optimizing process parameters in 3D printing to achieve better mechanical properties of printed parts. It emphasizes the material extrusion 3D printing technology and some of the most commonly used materials, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG). Optimizable process parameters such as, print angle, outer layer number, extruder flow ratio, extrusion (nozzle) temperature, and layer thickness are examined.

The objective of this study was to produce new and renewable bio-based plasticizers from used soybean cooking oil (USCO). First, USCO was completely converted into free fatty acids (FFAs) using lipase from Candida rugosa. Next, these FFAs were enzymatically esterified with benzyl alcohol in solvent-free systems.

We demonstrate the proof of concept of increasing the bioavailability of carbon substrates, derived from plastic waste, for their conversion to the biodegradable polymer polyhydroxyalkanoate [PHA] by bacteria and test various approaches to PHA accumulation through batch, fed batch and continuous culture. Styrene, ethylbenzene, and toluene are produced from the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste (Kaminsky, 2021; Miandad et al., 2017), but they are volatile and poorly soluble in water making them difficult to work with in aqueous fermentation systems.

This study presents the preparation and electrochemical testing of sulfonated styrene-grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride) (pVDF) copolymers as proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for semi-organic redox flow batteries (RFBs) based on 9,10-anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid (AQDS)/bromine. The copolymers are synthesized via a two-step procedure, involving i) atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene (Sty) for the grafting to the pVDF backbone and ii) the sulfonation of the polystyrene grafted side chains. Copolymers with different amounts of sulfonated styrene (SSty) in the side chains (i.
