The invention provides a unique, efficient and cost-effective process for the recovery of acid from acid-rich solutions. The process of the invention utilizes a strong oxidizer, such as Caro's acid, to disintegrate or render insoluble organic or inorganic materials such as carbohydrates and complexes thereof contained in acid-rich solutions, to make efficient and simple the separation and recovery of the acid solution. The acid recovered thus obtained is free of organic matter, and containing nearly all of the acid originally contained in the acid-rich solution.

Acid recovery from acid-rich solutions

Disclosed herein is a compositions-of-matter comprising a cross-linked polymer, the cross-linked polymer comprising a plurality of resilin polypeptide moieties, and at least one polymeric moiety covalently cross-linked to a plurality of the resilin polypeptide moieties via at least one cross-linking moiety, the cross-linking moiety being devoid of a biphenyl moiety. Further disclosed herein is a process for preparing the composition-of-matter, a composite material comprising the composition-of-matter and at least one additional polymeric substance bound to the cross-linked polymer, an article-of-manufacturing comprising the composition-of-matter and/or composite material, and a method of treating tissue damage or loss by implanting said article-of-manufacturing in a subject.

Cross-linked resilin-containing materials

Provided is an unique, efficient and cost-effective process for the recovery of acid from acid-rich solutions. The process of the subject matter utilizes a strong oxidizer, such as Caro's acid, to disintegrate or render insoluble organic or inorganic materials such as carbohydrates and complexes thereof contained in acid-rich solutions, to make efficient and simple the separation and recovery of the acid solution. The acid recovered thus obtained is free of organic matter, and containing nearly all of the acid originally contained in the acid-rich solution.

Provided is a unique class of foam materials characterized by regions of material unidirectionality. The foam materials are configured for a great variety of end-use applications as core materials or as materials in construction of multilayered structures. The novel and ingenious process for making the composite materials of the invention, permits modifying the foam materials to suite any specific end use.

Porous nanocrystalline cellulose structures

Isolated polypeptides are disclosed comprising an amino acid sequence encoding a monomer of a fibrous polypeptide attached to a heterologous polysaccharide binding domain. Composites comprising same, methods of generating same and uses thereof are all disclosed.

Compositions comprising fibrous polypeptides and polysaccharides

Provided herein are polymers having the general formula I as defined herein,A-L-B&#x2003;&#x2003;Formula Ias well as crosslinked polymers having the general formula III:B'-L&#x2032;-A&#x2032;-A&#x2033;-L&#x2033;-B&#x2033;&#x2003;&#x2003;Formula IIIand methods of preparing the polymers, wherein A is a dihydroxyphenyl moiety; A&#x2032;-A&#x2033; is a pair of crosslinked dihydroxyphenyl moieties; B, B&#x2032; and B&#x2033; are each a biopolymer; and L, L&#x2032; and L&#x2033; are each a linking moiety. Further provided are crosslinked adhesives prepared from the polymers, methods of generating same by oxidizing a polymer, and uses thereof. Further provided are kits comprising an adhesive and an oxidizing agent.

Adhesive biopolymers and uses thereof

A process is disclosed for recovering pure cellulose from a cellulose-containing sludge, the process comprising treating a sludge cellulose source under conditions permitting dissolution of non-cellulose material and suspension of the cellulose, wherein said dissolution conditions do not alter cellulose morphology.

Method for production of cellulose nano crystals from cellulose-containing waste material

Provided are cellulose nano-material based composite and foam articles.

Cellulose-based composite materials

The present invention relates to methods for generation of high molecular ordered fibrilar structures. More particularly, the method of the invention utilizes CBD's (cellulose binding domain) ability to form dimers for directing ordered assembly of fibrous proteins such as silk proteins into super-molecular fibrilar structures. The invention further provides fibrilar structures such as fibers and articles comprising said fibrilar structures.
