Disclosed herein are a cellulose particle and a binder, where the cellulose particle has a cellulose core and a surface group, and the binder interacts with the surface group to form a composite.

Cellulose-based composites and methods of making the same

The present disclosure relates to a catalyst that includes a support that includes a metal oxide and a metal deposited on the support, where the metal oxide includes at least one of TiO, AlO, SiO, CeO, and/or ZrO, the metal includes at least one of Pt, Pd, Ru Rh, Ni, and/or Mo, the metal is in the form of a particle, and the metal is present on the support at a concentration between about 0.1 wt % and about 5.0 wt %.

Materials and methods for improved pyrolysis processing

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes where Rand Rinclude at least one of a hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, and/or an alkyl group, Rand Rinclude at least one of hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, and/or a ketone, and 1&#x2264;n&#x2264;2000.

Production of ketone-based biopolymers from catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass

Methods are disclosed to make coke, graphite, graphene and other materials from biomass derived bio-oil.

Valorization of bio-oils

The present disclosure relates to a dimer that includes a first hydroxyl-functionalized naphthalene group and a second hydroxyl-functionalized naphthalene group, where the first hydroxyl-functionalized naphthalene group and the second hydroxyl-functionalized naphthalene group are connected by a bridging group. The present disclosure also relates to a polymer synthesized using the dimer, as well as methods for synthesizing both the dimer and the polymer.

Naphthalene-containing polymers and methods of making the same

Provided herein is an isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising mutations in the catalytic domain of the polypeptide relative to the catalytic domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide, wherein the mutations reduce N-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide relative to the wild type polypeptide. Also provided herein is an isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising increased O-linked glycosylation of the linker domain relative to a linker domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide. The increased O-linked glycosylation is a result of the addition of and/or substitution of one or more serine and/or threonine residues to the linker domain relative to the linker domain of the wild type polypeptide. In some embodiments, the isolated Cel7A polypeptide comprising mutations in the catalytic domain of the polypeptide relative to the catalytic domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide further comprises increased O-linked glycosylation of the linker domain relative to a linker domain of a wild type Cel7A polypeptide. The mutations in the catalytic domain reduce N-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide relative to the wild type polypeptide. The addition of and/or substitution of one or more serine and/or threonine residues to the linker domain relative to the linker domain of the wild type polypeptide increases O-linked glycosylation of the isolated polypeptide. Further provided are compositions comprising such polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides. Still further provided are methods for making such polypeptides.
