Abstract: Compositions and methods of protecting plants from cold damage are provided. In particular, the invention provides compositions comprising plant-based nano- and/or micron-sized particles which, when applied to plants or plant parts such as buds, form a non-hydrophilic deposit or film with low thermal conductivity, thereby conferring protection against damage from ice nucleation and cold stress.

Abstract: Collapsible containers are an attractive alternative to surface-tension propellant management devices (PMDs) for handling cryogenic liquids, as the collapsible container comparatively may 1) allow higher expulsion flow rates than vanes and sponges, 2) significantly reduce operational complexity, and 3) thermally insulate the propellant from environmental heat leaks. Furthermore, while historical cryogenic collapsible containers suffered from the low ductility of polymer films at cryogenic temperatures, the technology disclosed herein shows that the incorporation of folded patterns into the collapsible container substantially increases the reusability of the cryogenic PMD.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a sequential continuous catalytic solvolysis process and system for deconstructing co-mingled plastics containing polyesters, polyamides, and polyolefins into polyester monomers, polyamide monomers, and low molecular weight hydrocarbons, respectively. The catalysts and solvents used in the process can be recycled, and the monomers can undergo polymerization to fresh polyesters and polyamides for everyday use. The low molecular weight hydrocarbons can be used as liquefied gas.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide for an oxygen/air cathode that includes metal-organic frameworks and/or hybrids of metal-organic frameworks and carbon networks. The metal-organic-framework-based Li—O2 cells are operated in humid O2 where water plays a critical role in improving battery performance. Such embodiments not only improve battery performance but also reduces the cost by cycling the Li—O2 batteries in humid oxygen with MOF@CNT hybrid catalysts.

Abstract: A recyclable polyurethane foam is produced by reacting a carbon dioxide-based polyol-containing composition and an isocyanate composition. The polyurethane foam may include a molar ratio of active hydrogen to isocyanate groups of 1:0.9. The polyurethane foam may include a catalyst at about greater than or equal to about 0.5 to less than or equal to about 1.5 parts by weight percent.

Abstract: Environmentally friendly, sustainable, and high-performance ultralight composite foams are disclosed. The composite foams are prepared from cellulose nanomaterial, polymeric material, and a crosslinking agent. The fabrication process is simple and uses only water. The composite foams exhibit an elastic strain exceeding the values reported for known nanocellulose-based foams with no reinforcement. The foams exhibit a thermal conductivity superior to that of traditional insulating materials and retain structural integrity after burning.
