In protecting food, packagings are shifting from passive protection to taking an active role in improving food quality. The active packaging, consisting of a polymer liner with an active agent in it, is able to produce a desired effect on the food. A wide variety of active agents exist, such as antimicrobials, which c…

Abstract Dinitrogen oxide (nitrous oxide, N2O), a non-CO2 greenhouse gas, is produced as a by-product in the oxidation of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol with nitric acid in adipic acid production plants. A Cu/Al2O3 catalyst has been used to decompose N2O to nitrogen and oxygen. We investigated the rate of deactivation…

With the ongoing decrease in magnetic spacing, the chemical durability of the lubricant film on magnetic recording media becomes a major factor in the reliability of the head-disk interface. There are several reports in the literature that have attributed deterioration of lubricant film to catalytic decomposition, and…
