A Sustainable Technology for Quantification of Micro- and Nano-plastics in the Environment

Global plastic productions have increased remarkably over the past few decades. Unwanted plastic inputs, specifically, micro- and nano-plastics, into the environment become emerging concerns across the world. However, the quantitative analysis of micro/nano-plastics still remains a major challenge, especially in the complex environmental matrices.

Intelligent polymeric nanoformulations sense and deliver at precise locations

Delivering active pharmaceutical agents to target sites continues to pose tremendous challenges. Much effort has been devoted to formulating endogenous stimuli-sensitive nanocarriers that could load sufficient cargo, stay intact during their passage to desired locations, and provide controlled release pathways.

New Synthetic Strategies to Mimic Biosynthetic Oxidative Bond-Formation

Cytochrome P450, and related iron-containing oxygenases, catalyze a broad range of oxidative bond-forming processes that create complex natural products. Well-known examples include 鈥榗anonical oxidations鈥�, which convert C-H bonds into their corresponding alcohol derivatives (C-OH) via a classical mechanism of rebound. In these well-known cases, C-H abstraction affords a substrate radical that recombines with the enzyme鈥檚 Fe-(III)-OH center to form the new C-OH bond.

The Future of Hydrogen as an Energy Source?

One of most active research areas nowadays is the use of solar energy to produce hydrogen by so-called 鈥渨ater-splitting鈥� reactions. Dr. Butler has co-authored with colleagues from the U.K. and Pakistan a comprehensive review on this topic entitled 鈥淩ecent Developments and Perspectives in CdS-based Photocatalysts for Water Splitting鈥�.
