- Since the end of the 20th century it has been increasingly realised that the use, or production, of many energetic materials leads to the release of substances which are harmful to both humans and the environment. To address this, the principles of green chemistry can be applied to the design of new products and their manufacturing processes, to create green energetic materials that are virtually free of environmental hazards and toxicity issues during manufacturing, storage, use and disposal. Active research is underway to develop new ingredients and formulations, green synthetic methods and non-polluting manufacturing processes.Green Energetic Materials provides a detailed account of the most recent research and developments in the field, including green pyrotechnics, explosives and propellants. From theoretical modelling and design of new materials, to the development of sustainable manufacturing processes, this book addresses materials already on the production line, as well as considering future developments in this evolving field.Topics covered include:Theoretical design of green energetic materialsDevelopment of green pyrotechnicsGreen primary and secondary explosivesOxidisers and binder materials for green propellantsEnvironmentally sustainable manufacturing technologies for energetic materialsElectrochemical methods for synthesis of energetic materials and waste remediationGreen Energetic Materials is a valuable resource for academic, industrial and governmental researchers working on the development of energetic materials, for both military and civilian applications.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Using a synthetic approach to organic materials chemistry, this book sets forth tested and proven methods and practices that make it possible to engineer organic molecules offering special properties and functions. Throughout the book, plenty of real-world examples demonstrate the countless possibilities of creating one-of-a-kind molecules and supramolecular systems to support a broad range of applications. The book explores applications in both materials and bioorganic chemistry, including molecular electronics, energy storage, sensors, nanomedicine, and enzyme engineering.Organic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering consists of fourteen chapters, each one contributed by one or more leading international experts in the field. The contributions are based on a thorough review and analysis of the current literature as well as the authors' firsthand experience in the lab engineering new organic molecules. Designed as a practical lab reference, the book offers:Tested and proven synthetic approaches to organic materials chemistryMethods and practices to successfully engineer functionality into organic moleculesExplanations of the principles and concepts underlying self-assembly and supramolecular chemistryGuidance in selecting appropriate structural units used in the design and synthesis of functional molecules and materialsCoverage of the full range of applications in materials and bioorganic chemistryA full chapter on graphene, a new topic generating intense researchOrganic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering begins with core concepts, molecular building blocks, and synthetic tools. Next, it explores molecular electronics, supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly, graphene, and photoresponsive materials engineering. In short, it offers everything researchers need to fully grasp the underlying theory and then build new molecules and supramolecular systems.

- Processes occurring at surfaces and interfaces are very important in environmental systems, necessitating surface-specific characterization tools that can help us understand processes at and specific properties of surfaces and interfaces, and their role in biogeochemical systems. This chapter describes the use and application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to study interfacial processes of relevance for geomicrobiology. Examples are given from studies determining cell wall composition, acid–base properties, cell surface charge, metal adsorption onto bacterial cells, and bacterial surface–induced precipitation of secondary minerals. As XPS is an ultrahigh-vacuum technique, several sample preparation methods have been applied to enable analysis of bacterial samples, including analysis of freeze-dried samples as well as frozen bacterial suspensions. These are described and discussed alongside advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, with a special focus on fast-freezing and the cryogenic technique.

- The chemistry of graphene oxide (GO) is a growing field of research. The modification of the surface properties of GO is the main goal in application-driven research. Successful functionalization protocols must be interpreted in accordance with the chemical structure of the original GO, and therefore, in this chapter, crucial aspects of the chemical structure of GO are introduced first. Next, the thermal and chemical stability of GO is reviewed, followed by introducing wet-chemical non-covalent and covalent reaction principles. The covalent functionalization of GO requires special attention. When chemical reaction principles, well known from organic chemistry, are applied to GO, it remains challenging to prove the successful accomplishment of reactions by analyzing the as-modified GO product. We pay special attention to the reactivity of the edges of defects and provide alternative explanations for interpreting experimental results, where necessary. Next, chemical reduction methods are summarized; special accent is placed on differentiating true chemical reduction from so-called "thermal reduction". Several examples for the functionalization of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are considered next. While discussing GO chemical properties, in parallel with typical GO, we discuss these properties for the oxo-functionalized graphene (oxo-G1), a type of GO with very low density of structural defects. This sheds additional light on the role of defects in GO chemistry. Finally, additional properties of oxo-G1 are introduced. Oxo-G1 can act as a compound that enables the controlled chemistry for the design and synthesis of functional materials and devices.

- The ability to construct thin films with controlled thickness on almost any type of surface is of great interestin many research fields. For biomedical applications, thin films on medical devices have been found toimprove the biocompatibility, reduce the immunological response, and deliver medical drugs locally. Thelayer structure is closely related to the function and efficiency of such films. During the last decades, it hasbeen shown that the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of charged macromolecules has created an inexpensiveroute to the formation of thin multilayer films, and the interest in using biomacromolecules (e.g., polysaccharidesand proteins) has emerged in recent years. The LbL technique offers unique opportunities forcontrolling the physical properties of thin surface layers, such as film thickness, chemical and elasticproperties, and stability. In this entry, we will focus on recent advances in the multilayer film area usingbiomacromolecules. We will discuss how different physicochemical properties of biomacromolecules andof the deposition solution affect the formation and structure of LbL-assembled multilayer. Finally, we willaddress some suggested applications for these biopolymer film coatings.

Exfoliated graphene-based 2d materials: Synthesis and catalytic behaviors
- 2019

Ingår i: Handbook of Graphene. ; 8, s. 529-558

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Because graphene-based materials have a high surface area in interlayer space, there is a high tendency toward elimination of interlayer interactions through several methods. There are three distinct path-ways to overcome the interlayer interaction: intercalation, pillaration, and exfoliation. In exfoliation, there is the least interaction between the layers. By increasing exfoliation strength, we can tune and increase the catalytic activity. In this book chapter, we will study the effect of interface and interlayer interactions on the catalytic feature of graphene-based materials. Furthermore, we will show how we can exfoliate graphene (oxide) and how it is working in the catalysis of an organic transformation. Also, we will discuss and compare the catalytic activity coming from pillaration and exfoliation.
