Polymers for Drug Delivery Systems
Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 149-173 - 2010
Polymers have played an integral role in the advancement of drug delivery
technology by providing controlled release of therapeutic agents in constant
doses over long periods, cyclic dosage, and tunable release of both hydrophilic
and hydrophobic drugs. From early beginnings using off-the-shelf materials, the
field has grown tremendously, driven in part by the innovations of chemical
engineers. Mo...
Fundamentals and Applications of Gas Hydrates
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 237-257 - 2011
Fundamental understanding of gas hydrate formation and decomposition processes
is critical in many energy and environmental areas and has special importance in
flow assurance for the oil and gas industry. These areas represent the core of
gas hydrate applications, which, albeit widely studied, are still developing as
growing fields of research. Discovering the molecular pathways and chemical and
p...
Metabolic Engineering for the Production of Natural Products
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 211-236 - 2011
Natural products and their derivatives play an important role in modern
healthcare as frontline treatments for many diseases and as inspiration for
chemically synthesized therapeutics. With advances in sequencing and recombinant
DNA technology, many of the biosynthetic pathways responsible for the production
of these chemically complex yet valuable compounds have been elucidated. With an
ever-expa...
Metabolic Engineering: Past and Future
Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 259-288 - 2013
We present here a broad overview of the field of metabolic engineering,
describing in the first section the key fundamental principles that define and
distinguish it, as well as the technological and intellectual developments over
the past approximately 20 years that have led to the current state of the art.
Discussion of concepts such as metabolic flux analysis, metabolic control
analysis, and ra...
Aerogels in Chemical Engineering: Strategies Toward Tailor-Made Aerogels
Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 307-334 - 2017
The present review deals with recent advances in the rapidly growing field of
aerogel research and technology. The major focus of the review lies in
approaches that allow tailoring of aerogel properties to meet application-driven
requirements. The decisive properties of aerogels are discussed with regard to
existing and potential application areas. Various tailoring strategies, such as
modulation ...
The Energy-Water-Food Nexus
Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 239-262 - 2016
As the global population grows in size and increasingly lives in cities, and
with lifestyles based on greater material consumption, more attention is being
given to the integrated system that supplies our energy, water, and food, the
Nexus. There is also mounting concern about effects on the Nexus of climate
change and damage to the natural environment that provides essential ecosystem
services. N...
Charged Polymer Membranes for Environmental/Energy Applications
Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 111-133 - 2016
Ion exchange membranes are used in various membrane-based processes (e.g.,
electrodialysis, fuel cells). Charged solute transport is largely governed by
the charged groups on the polymer backbone. In this review, fundamental
relationships describing salt permeability and ionic conductivity, as well as
water permeability, in charged polymers are developed within the framework of
the Nernst-Planck a...
Atmospheric Aerosols: Clouds, Chemistry, and Climate
Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 427-444 - 2017
Although too small to be seen with the human eye, atmospheric particulate matter
has major impacts on the world around us, from our health to global climate.
Understanding the sources, properties, and transformations of these particles in
the atmosphere is among the major challenges in air quality and climate research
today. Significant progress has been made over the past two decades in
understan...
Experimental Methods for Phase Equilibria at High Pressures
Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 343-367 - 2012
Knowledge of high-pressure phase equilibria is crucial in many fields, e.g., for
the design and optimization of high-pressure chemical and separation processes,
carbon capture and storage, hydrate formation, applications of ionic liquids,
and geological processes. This review presents the variety of methods to measure
phase equilibria at high pressures and, following a classification, discusses
th...
Shape-Controlled Metal Nanocrystals for Heterogeneous Catalysis
Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 327-348 - 2016
The ability to control the shape of metal nanocrystals allows us to not only
maneuver their physicochemical properties but also optimize their activity in a
variety of applications. Heterogeneous catalysis, in particular, would benefit
tremendously from the availability of metal nanocrystals with controlled shapes
and well-defined facets or surface structures. The immediate benefits may
include si...
