Monodisperse Pt and PtRu/C(60) hybrid nanoparticles with controlled diameters were synthesized by the reduction of metal precursors in the presence of C(60); the resulting metal/C(60) hybrid nanocatalyst exhibited a remarkable enhancement of methanol oxidation activity over commercial E-TEK catalysts.

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based soft elastomers, bearing tertiary amine and hydroxyl groups, were synthesized in bulk from the epoxy–amine reaction between poly(ethylene diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) a poly(etherdiamine), Jeffamine ED600. High gel fractions (≥0.95) low glass transition temperatures (Tg ≈ −50 °C) attained after complete curing of systems bulk. The amphiphilicity network allowed swe...

Despite numerous works devoted to the cellulose hydrogenolysis process, only some of them describe reaction kinetics. This is explained by complexity process and simultaneous behavior different reactions. In this work, we present results kinetic study glucose into ethylene- propylene glycols in presence Ru@Fe3O4/HPS catalyst as a part catalytic conversion glycols. The structure Ru-containing ma...
