Antioxidant-driven activity and stability enhancement in multiphase bicarbonate hydrogenation catalysis with a Ru-PNP pincer complex

Herein, we present a practical strategy to enhance the performance of a multiphase system for bicarbonate hydrogenation based on a molecular Ru-PNP pincer catalyst. This study demonstrates that the use of organic antioxidants not only mitigates catalyst degradation but also significantly boosts its intrinsic activity. This enables efficient...

Self-healing phenomena in polymers based on the theory of porous media

Self healing materials are becoming more and more important for the construction of mechanical components due to their ability to detect and heal failures as well as cracks autonomously. Especially in polymers and polymer-composites, where the component can loose a high rate of strength and durability due to micro cracks, those damages are...
