OVERVIEW: The development of innovative methods to efficiently convert biomass to fuels
and industrial chemicals is one of the grand challenges of the current age. n‐Butanol is a …

A series of high density renewable fuels has been synthesized through selective dimerization
of α-pinene, camphene, limonene, and crude turpentine using the heterogeneous …

Two cyanate ester resins and a polycarbonate thermoplastic have been synthesized from
vanillin. The bisphenol precursors were prepared by both an electrochemical route as well as …

The development of techniques for the efficient synthesis of custom fuels and chemicals
from sustainable natural feedstocks is of fundamental importance to society as the direct and …

A highly efficient and selective process has been developed for the conversion of 1-hexene
to jet and diesel fuels. In combination with commercial processes for the dehydration of …

A series of renewable bisphenols has been synthesized from creosol (2‐methoxy‐4‐methylphenol)
through stoichiometric condensation with short‐chain aldehydes. Creosol can be …

Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a common untreatable cancer of dogs that resembles human
angiosarcoma. Detailed studies of these diseases have been historically hindered by the …

Renewable phenols derived from biomass sources often contain methoxy groups that alter
the properties of derivative polymers. To evaluate the impact of o-methoxy groups on the …

A series of renewable bis(cyanate) esters have been prepared from bisphenols synthesized
by condensation of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (creosol) with formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, …

The low-temperature properties of high-density terpene dimer fuels and fuel mixtures with JP-8,
JP-10, and hydrogenated pinene have been studied by shear viscometry and …
