Researchers at the State Key Laboratory for Oxo Synthesis and Selective Oxidation, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have developed novel methods for transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation/addition reactions. Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H additions to unsaturated C=X (X=C, O, N) bonds by C-H bo...
The surface/interface group at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has published a critical review entitled Extreme wettability and tunable adhesion: biomimicking beyond nature？in Soft Matter at the invitation of the journal.The article has been consecutively assessed as the top ten most rea...
Many studies have shown that green tea is rich in polyphenolic compounds which include flavanoids and phenolic acids. Flavonoids containing quercetin, kaempferol and rutin were found in green tea. Quercetin and kaempferol have the pharmacological effects of free radical scavengers, reduction of elevated blood pressure, anticancer and antioxidant...
The R&D Center for Lubricating and Protecting Materials at Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have fabricated a superhydrophobic carbon nanotube/polytetrafluoroethylene (CNTs–PTFE) bulk material possessing low-surface-energy microstructures extending throughout its whole volume by a facile hot-press...
