Preparation of Titanium Nitride/Alumina Laminate Composites

A preparation route for TiN/Al₂O₃ laminate composites has been described. A water-based process using Al₂O₃ and TiN slurries with solids contents of 40 and 35 vol%, respectively, was used to make TiN and Al₂O₃ tapes. The removal of the binder was monitored by weight-loss measurements in a thermogravimetry unit. Bodies composed of Al₂O₃ and TiN tapes were densified at temperatures of 1400° and 1500°C using the Spark Plasma Sintering^® (SPS) technique. Densities of >98% of the theoretical densities were approached. Crack-free and almost fully densified TiN/Al₂O₃ compacts were prepared by heating the burned-out green bodies to the final sintering temperature (1500°C) at a rate of 100°C/min, and with a holding time of 5–10 min, under a pressure of 75 MPa. The microstructures of the obtained compacts were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Grain sizes in the sintered Al₂O₃ and TiN compacts were similar to those of the precursor powders. Hardness and indentation fracture toughness were measured at room temperature, and the monolithic compacts as well as the laminate composites exhibited anisotropic mechanical behavior; i.e., the cracks propagated much more easily in a direction parallel to the laminas than perpendicular to them.     

Cell-free synthetic biology in the new era of enzyme engineering

With the gradual rise of enzyme engineering, it has played an essential role in synthetic biology, medicine, and biomanufacturing. However, due to the limitation of the cell membrane, the complexity of cellular metabolism, the difficulty of controlling the reaction environment, and the toxicity of some metabolic products in traditional in vivo enzyme engineering, it is usually problematic to express functional enzymes and produce a high yield of synthesized compounds. Recently, cell-free synthetic biology methods for enzyme engineering have been proposed as alternative strategies. This cell-free method has no limitation of the cell membrane and no need to maintain cell viability, and each biosynthetic pathway is highly flexible. This property makes cell-free approaches suitable for the production of valuable products such as functional enzymes and chemicals that are difficult to synthesize. This article aims to discuss the latest advances in cell-free enzyme engineering, assess the trend of this developing topical filed, and analyze its prospects.

Epoxidation of propylene by using [π-C5H5NC16H33]3[PW4O16] as catalyst and with hydrogen peroxide generated by 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone and molecular oxygen

The epoxidation of propylene catalyzed by a reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst [π-C₅H₅NC₁₆H₃₃]₃[PW₄O₁₆] is investigated. The H₂O₂ is generated by the oxidation of 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone (EAHQ) with molecular oxygen in the organic solvent. Under mild conditions, the selectivity for propylene oxide, based on propylene, is 95%, and the yield, based on 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone, is 85%. During the epoxidation, the catalytic system is homogeneous. However, after the H₂O₂ is used up, the catalyst can be recovered as a precipitate and can be reused. After the epoxidation reaction, 2-ethylanthraquinone can be regenerated to 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone by catalytic hydrogenation, and no coproduct is produced.
