I and i

Kevin Barraclough
- 08 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Bright Side of Lignin Depolymerization: Toward New Platform Chemicals

TL;DR: Following the whole value chain from raw lignocellulose through depolymerization to application whenever possible, specific lignin-based compounds emerge that could be in the future considered as potential lignIn-derived platform chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanocellulose: Extraction and application

TL;DR: In this paper, the background of nanocellulose originated from lignocellulosic biomass and the typical extraction methods and general applications are summarized, in which the nanocellulate extraction methods related to ball milling are mainly introduced.

Macromolecular synthesis from saccharic lactones. Polyaddition of D‐glucaro‐ and D‐mannaro‐ 1,4:6, 3‐dilactones with diisocyanates and hydrolyzability of the resulting polyurethanes having dilactone rings in the main chains

TL;DR: In this article, a polyaddition of saccharic acid dilactones prepared from D-glucose and D-mannitol was carried out by using dibutyltin dilaurate as a catalyst at 50, 25, and 0°C to give polyurethanes having dilactone moieties in the main chains.
