Miscibility of Organic Solvent Pairs

Influence of solvent/polymer interaction on miscibility of PMMA/PCL blend: thermal analysis approach

Nanopapers for organic solvent nanofiltration.

Would it not be nice to have an organic solvent nanofiltration membrane made from renewable resources that can be manufactured as simply as producing paper? Here the production of nanofiltration membranes made from nanocellulose by applying a papermaking process is demonstrated. Manufacture of the nanopapers was enabled by inducing flocculation of nanofibrils upon addition of trivalent ions.

Discovery of a modified transcription factor endowing yeasts with organic-solvent tolerance and reconstruction of an organic-solvent-tolerant yeast Running title: Organic-solvent tolerance in yeast

Silica gel-mediated organic reactions under organic solvent-free conditions.

Silica gel was found to be an excellent medium for some useful organic transformations under organic solvent-free conditions, such as (1) the Friedel-Crafts-type nitration of arenes using commercial aqueous 69% nitric acid alone at room temperature, (2) one-pot Wittig-type olefination of aldehydes with activated organic halides in the presence of tributyl- or triphenylphosphine and Hunig's base...

Water-Organic Solvent Two-Phase System

Pseudomonas sp. strain ST-200, which is capable of conversion of cholesterol, was isolated from humus soil. This organism effectively modified cholesterol dissolved in an organic solvent by dehydrogenation and oxygenation. When the organism was grown in a medium overlaid with a 10%/ volume of a mixed organic solvent (p-xylene and diphenylmethane; 3:7, vol/vol) containing cholesterol (20 mg/ml),...
