TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used wet stretching with 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) as the wetting liquid, and the change of hierarchical structure of CNT fibers was observed at a nanometer level.

TL;DR: Pristine CNTFs with a high specific strength (SS) were synthesized through decreased rotational flow and optimization of the CNTF synthesis conditions, and an acid wet-stretching method that included washing and heat-treatment was adopted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the Au oxidation state affected the selectivity significantly, and they proposed a new pathway for its more sustainable production from glycerol to allyl alcohol to acrylic acid.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of preparing acrylic acid from glycerol was described, including: (a) preparing products including allyl alcohol from reactants including glycerols and carboxylic acid; (b) adding a heterogeneous catalyst and a basic solution to the product, and then performing oxidation, thus preparing a mixture composed of 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid; and (c) dehydrating 3-HOGPionic acid of the mixture of 3 -hydroxy propionic acid, thus producing acrylic acid.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for preparing allyl alcohol, wherein glycerol and formic acid are reacted under specific synthesis conditions, is presented, which remarkably increases the the concentration of allyl acid in the liquid reaction products and minimizes the production of the allyl formate byproduct.
