Thermoplastic segmented polyurethanes (PUs) can exhibit shape memory behavior, if they feature multiple kinds of physical cross-links that can be dissociated at different temperatures. This is the case if the hydrogen-bonded hard phase is joined with soft segments that can partially crystallize, so that the melting tr…

Calcium oxalate, a mineral of low solubility, is found widely in plants, but its fate in soils has been neglected until recently. This review considers the likely forms and reactions in soils that may be significant in the recycling of both calcium (Ca) and carbon (C). In soils, calcium oxalate is both formed by fungi…

Abstract The single copper atom doped clusters CuAl 4 O 7–9 − can catalyze CO oxidation by O 2 . The CuAl 4 O 7–9 − clusters are the first group of experimentally identified noble‐metal free single atom catalysts for such a prototypical reaction. The reactions were characterized by mass spectrometry and density functi…

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is one of the materials most often used for carbonization. PAN nanofiber mats, created by electrospinning, are an especially interesting source to gain carbon nanofibers. A well-known problem in this process is fixing the PAN nanofiber mats during the stabilization process which is necessary to…

One of the most attractive applications of carbon nanomaterials is as catalysts, due to their extreme surface-to-volume ratio. The substitution of C with heteroatoms (typically B and N as p- and n-dopants) has been explored to enhance their catalytic activity. Here we show that encapsulation within weakly doping macro…
