Pyrolysis temperature is varied during nanocasting using the KIT-6 silica hard template to tailor microporosity and nitrogen inclusions. NOMCs exhibit large surface area (600–1000 m2 g-1) and excellent pore ordering. The CO2/adsorbent interaction energy is estimated by the isosteric enthalpy of adsorption (∼33–40 kJ mol-1) and Henry's constants. The role of nitrogen content (∼7–12 at.%) and of each type of N-species on CO2 adsorption is studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and CO2/N2 selectivity is attributed, being pyridinic functionalities the most effective ones. NOMCs are tested at different temperatures, gas flow compositions, reversibility, and so on; in all tested conditions, they outperform a homologous bare sucrose-derived carbon. Enhancing micropore volume allows achieving maximum adsorption capacity in pure CO2 (1.47 mmol g−1 at 30 °C/0.9 bar), whereas increasing surface N-content accounts for the highest selectivity in CO2/N2 mixtures (20/80 v/v) at 35 °C/1 bar (maximum CO2 uptake 0.82 mmol g−1). The combination of a suitable C/N precursor and the hard templating synthetic route is effective for obtaining high-performing, sustainable, and reusable selective CO2 sorbents, without any activation steps or N-doping post-treatments.}, keywords = {Mesoporous carbon, Nanocasting, Glucosamine, CO2 adsorption, Gas separation, Renewable feedstock}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589234721000300}, doi = {10.1016/j.mtsust.2021.100089} } .

Flame retardant potential of Tetra Pak®-derived biochar for ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers @article{ 11583_2957602, author = {Matta, Samuele and Bartoli, Mattia and Arrigo, Rossella and Frache, Alberto and Malucelli, Giulio}, title = {Flame retardant potential of Tetra Pak®-derived biochar for ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers}, year = {2022}, publisher = {Elsevier}, journal = {COMPOSITES. PART C, OPEN ACCESS}, volume = {8}, abstract = {Food packaging waste-stream is a serious threat for current lifestyle sustainability. Among all the materials, Tetra Pak® is one of the most employed to produce food and beverage containers. Its composition represents a challenge for waste management due the simultaneous presence of poly(ethylene), paper and aluminum, wrapped together into a multilayered packaging. In this work, we report on the pyrolytic conversion of Tetra Pak® to produce alumina-rich biochar (BC), to be used as a flame retardant for an ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) copolymer. In particular, the obtained biochar was incorporated either into bulk EVA through compounding or just as a surface coating. For the surface approach, a masterbatch of biochar and EVA was prepared and then applied to the surface of unfilled EVA specimens. Both the strategies turned out to significantly improve the overall flame retardant features of the copolymer: as compared to unfilled EVA, the bulk approach promoted a remarkable decrease of peak of heat release rate (-45 and -65%, for the compounds containing 20 and 40 wt.% of BC, respectively) and of total heat release (-16.9% for the compounds filled with 40 wt.% of BC), combined with a significant increase of the residues at the end of forced combustion tests; conversely, the surface approach was capable of delaying the time to ignition and the time to peak of heat release rate, depending of the BC amount: more specifically, for the surface-coated EVA with the lowest BC loading (i.e. 3 wt.%), the two parameters increased by about 34 and 21%, respectively. The thermal, rheological and mechanical properties were also investigated, as well as the morphology of the BC particles and their dispersion in the copolymer matrix. In particular, increasing the biochar loading promoted an increase of the stiffness of the resulting compounds, as well as a decrease of their ductility with respect to unfilled EVA.}, keywords = {Biochar; Ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymer; Flame retardant; Forced-combustion behavior; Mechanical properties}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666682022000214?via=ihub}, doi = {10.1016/j.jcomc.2022.100252} } .

In this study, we report for the first time the structure-dependent MAPT aggregation inhibition of carbon nitride dots (CNDs). CNDs have exhibited great promise as a potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by inhibiting the aggregation of MAPT. In order to elucidate its structure-activity relationship, CNDs were separated via column chromatography and five fractions with different structures were obtained that were characterized by multiple spectroscopy methods. The increase of surface hydrophilic functional groups is consistent with the increase of polarity from fraction 1 to 5. Particle sizes (1–2 nm) and zeta potentials (∼-20 mV) are similar among five fractions. With the increase of polarity from fraction 1 to 5, their MAPT aggregation inhibition capacity was weakened. This suggests hydrophobic interactions between CNDs and MAPT, validated via molecular dynamics simulations. With a zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) model, CNDs were observed to cross the BBB through passive diffusion. CNDs were also found to inhibit the generation of multiple reactive oxygen species, which is an important contributor to AD pathogenesis.}, keywords = {Alzheimer's disease; Blood-brain barrier; Carbon nitride dots; Reactive oxygen species; Tau aggregation}, doi = {10.1016/j.carbon.2022.03.021}, pages = {1--16} } .

The catalytic results of the biosolids-based material were compared with a classical Fenton-like reagent and a non-catalytic system. Biosolids-based catalyst outperformed the other systems at low temperature with a full desulphurization of benzothiophene solution achieved at 60 °C after 3 h and a good recyclability after four catalytic runs at 80 °C for 3 h. The desulphurization was less effective for hydrolysed fatty acids and crude pyrolysis oil derived from the conversion of brown grease to renewable hydrocarbons, which was due to the composition of the sulphur containing compounds, but still reached 87.7 ± 3.0 % and 74.7 ± 9.5 %, respectively.}, keywords = {Biosolids; Catalytic desulphurization; Drop-in fuel; Pyrolysis}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016236122013953?via=ihub}, doi = {10.1016/j.fuel.2022.124546} } .

More specifically, biochar-based particles derived from cellulose nanocrystals were modified through the growth of carbon nanofibers onto their outer surface, aiming at combining the effects of globular and high aspect ratio structures in a single filler. The preliminary characterization of the carbonaceous structures documented the achievement of a highly carbonized material involving spherical biochar particles having an average diameter ranging from 15 to 20 μm, covered by fibers displaying length up to 100 μm. As assessed by dynamic-mechanical characterization, the UV-LED cured composite films showed a progressive increase of the storage modulus values as a function of the amount of embedded PuP structures, indicating a strong level of interfacial interactions between the polymer network and the particles. Furthermore, the introduction of increasing amounts of PuPs induced a progressive increase of the material thermal conductivity (from 0.109 W/mK for unfilled cured resin, up to 0.161 W/mK, for the composite film containing 10 wt% of filler) and a remarkable enhancement of the electrical conductivity (up to (3.1 ± 0.2)*10 2 S/m, for the composite film containing 10 wt% of filler), thus pointing out the effectiveness of the proposed approach of surface modifying biochar particles in obtaining composite coating films with superior properties.}, keywords = {UV-LED curing; Epoxy-acrylate resin; Biochar; Thermal properties; Electrical properties}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235249282100622X}, doi = {10.1016/j.mtcomm.2021.102630} } .

Despite their potential in this area, there are many obstacles to overcome for CDs to be approved for biomedical use. One major hindrance to CDs’ approval is related to their poorly defined structure. Herein a structural study of CDs is presented in order to rectify this shortcoming. The properties of three CDs which have significant promise in biomedical applications, black CDs (B-CDs), carbon nitride dots (CNDs), and yellow CDs (Y-CDs), are compared in order to develop a coherent structural model for each nanosystem. Absorption coefficients were measured for each system and this data gave insight on the level of disorder in each system. Furthermore, extensive structural characterization has been performed in order to derive structural information for each system. This data showed that B-CDs and CNDs are functionalized to a greater degree and are also more disordered and amorphous than Y-CDs. These techniques were used to develop a structural model consistent with the obtained data and what is known for carbonic nanostructures. These models can be used to analyze CD emission properties and to better understand the structure-property relationship in CDs.}, keywords = {Carbon dots; Nanoparticle characterization; Spectroscopy; Structure determination; Crystallography}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008622320310873?dgcid=coauthor}, doi = {10.1016/j.carbon.2020.11.017}, pages = {433--447} } .

Several materials as adsorbents for CO2 and other gases are being developed,which often involve using complex and expensive fabrication techniques. In this work, we suggest a sound, easy and cheap route for the production of nitrogen-doped carbon materials for CO2 capture by pyrolysis of electrospun poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) fibers. PAN fibers are generally processed following specific heat treatments involving up to three steps (to get complete graphitization), one of these being stabilization, during which PAN fibers are oxidized and stretched in the 200–300 °C temperature range. The effect of stabilization temperature on the chemical structure of the carbon nanofibers is investigated herein to ascertain the possible implication of incomplete conversion/condensation of nitrile groups to form pyridine moieties on the CO2 adsorption capacity. The materials were tested in the pure CO2 atmosphere at 20 °C achieving 18.3% of maximum weight increase (equivalent to an uptake of 4.16 mmol g-1), proving the effectiveness of a high stabilization temperature as route for the improvement of CO2 uptake.}, keywords = {poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN); electrospinning; carbon fiber; CO2 adsorption; renewable feedstock}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/13/23/4197}, doi = {10.3390/polym13234197} } .

Biochar-Supported TiO2-Based Nanocomposites for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Sulfamethoxazole in Water—A Review @article{ 11583_2939172, author = {Chandra, Subhash and Jagdale, Pravin and Medha, Isha and Tiwari, Ashwani Kumar and Bartoli, Mattia and Nino, Antonio De and Olivito, Fabrizio}, title = {Biochar-Supported TiO2-Based Nanocomposites for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Sulfamethoxazole in Water—A Review}, year = {2021}, publisher = {MDPI}, journal = {TOXICS}, volume = {9}, abstract = {Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a frequently used antibiotic for the treatment of urinary tract, respiratory, and intestinal infections and as a supplement in livestock or fishery farming to boost production. The release of SMX into the environment can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance among the microbial community, which can lead to frequent clinical infections. SMX removal from water is usually done through advanced treatment processes, such as adsorption, photocatalytic oxidation, and biodegradation. Among them, the advanced oxidation process using TiO2 and its composites is being widely used. TiO2 is a widely used photocatalyst; however, it has certain limitations, such as low visible light response and quick recombination of e/h+ pairs. Integrating the biochar with TiO2 nanoparticles can overcome such limitations. The biocharsupported TiO2 composites showed a significant increase in the photocatalytic activities in the UVvisible range, which resulted in a substantial increase in the degradation of SMX in water. The present review has critically reviewed the methods of biochar TiO2 composite synthesis, the effect of biochar integration with the TiO2 on its physicochemical properties, and the chemical pathways through which the biochar/TiO2 composite degrades the SMX in water or aqueous solution. The degradation of SMX using photocatalysis can be considered a useful model, and the research studies presented in this review will allow extending this area of research on other types of similar pharmaceuticals or pollutants in general in the future.}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2305-6304/9/11/313}, doi = {10.3390/toxics9110313} } .

The formulated biocomposites were characterized through rheological, thermal, and mechanical analyses, aiming at evaluating the effects of the filler content and of the processing method on their final properties. The rheological characterization demonstrated the effectiveness of both exploited strategies in achieving a good level of filler dispersion within the matrix, notwithstanding the occurrence of a remarkable decrease of the PLA molar mass during the processing at high temperature. Nevertheless, significant alterations of the PLA rheological behavior were observed in the composites obtained by melt mixing. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicated a remarkable influence of the processing method on the thermal behavior of biocomposites. More specifically, melt mixing caused the appearance of two melting peaks, though the structure of the materials remained almost amorphous; conversely, a significant increase of the crystalline phase content was observed for solvent cast biocomposites containing low amounts of filler that acted as nucleating agents. Finally, thermogravimetric analyses suggested a catalytic effect of BC particles on the degradation of PLA; its biocomposites showed decreased thermal stability as compared with the neat PLA matrix.}, keywords = {poly(lactic acid); biochar; melt mixing; solvent casting; rheological behavior; thermal properties.}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/12/4/892}, doi = {10.3390/polym12040892} } .

Pyrolysis of fatty acids derived from hydrolysis of brown grease with biosolids @article{ 11583_2820918, author = {Omidghane, Mehdi and Bartoli, Mattia and Asomaning, Justice and Xia, Lin and Chae, Michael and Bressler, David C}, title = {Pyrolysis of fatty acids derived from hydrolysis of brown grease with biosolids}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Springer}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL}, abstract = {The escalating generation of biosolids and increasing regulations regarding their safe handling and disposal have created a great environmental challenge. Recently, biosolids have been incorporated into the hydrolysis step of a two-step thermal lipid conversion process to act as water replacement in the production of renewable chemicals and fuels. Here, the hexane extract recovered from hydrolysis of biosolids, lipids from brown grease hydrolyzed using either water (control) or biosolids as a water replacement, was pyrolyzed at 410-450 °C for 2 h. The product distribution and composition were not significantly different when biosolids were used to hydrolyze brown grease instead of water. The liquid product consisted mainly of alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, and cyclic compounds similar to those in petroleum-derived liquid fuels. However, the use of biosolids as a water substitute resulted in a significant increase in sulphur content of the pyrolysate, which will necessitate processes to reduce the sulphur content before or after pyrolysis. Nevertheless, the pathways proposed in this paper are considered as potentially economically viable approaches to not only resolve the issues associated with disposal of biosolids but also to produce renewable hydrocarbons for fuel and chemical applications.

As a challenging case study, biochar, a bio-derived carbon based material, was selected. The complex structure of biochar (i.e., channeled surface, inorganic content) represents a serious challenge for Raman characterization. As widely reported, the Raman spectra are closely linked to thermal treatments of carbon material. The individual contributions to the Raman spectra are difficult to identify due to the numerous peaks that contribute to the spectra. To tackle this problem, we propose a brand new approach based on the introduction, on sound theoretical grounds, of a mixed Gaussian-–Lorentzian lineshape. As per the experimental part, biochar samples were carbonized in an inert atmosphere at various temperatures and their respective spectra were successfully decomposed using the new lineshape. The evolution of the structure with carbonization temperature was investigated by Raman and XRD analysis. The results of the two techniques fairly well agree. Compared to other approaches commonly reported in the literature this method (i) gives a sounder basis to the lineshape used in disordered materials, and (ii) appears to reduce the number of components, leading to an easier understanding of their origin.}, keywords = {Raman, fit, biochar, carbon}, doi = {10.3390/nano10091748} } .

Bio-oils from microwave assisted pyrolysis of kraft lignin operating at reduced residual pressure @article{ 11583_2837237, author = {Bartoli, Mattia and Rosi, Luca and Frediani, Piero and Frediani, Marco}, title = {Bio-oils from microwave assisted pyrolysis of kraft lignin operating at reduced residual pressure}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Elsevier}, journal = {FUEL}, volume = {278}, abstract = {Every year approximately 50 million tonnes of lignin are obtained worldwide as by-products of the paper industry and represent a potential renewable aromatic feedstock for a sustainable future carbon economy. In spite of this the availability of lignin remains largely unused so long the most part of it (ca. 98%) is still burned. For this reason pyrolysis-based technologies, such as fast pyrolysis and gasification, are considered promising methods for converting lignin into biochemicals, biomaterials, and biofuels. In this work the pyrolysis of kraft lignin were studied at reduced pressure under Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP). Experiments were carried out at different pressure (1 bar, 0.13 bar, 0.013 bar) also using a fractionating system. A multimode MW (Microwave) batch reactor was employed as oven using carbon as MW absorber. The most relevant achievements were gained at residual pressure of 0.013 kPa obtaining a 37 wt% of bio-oil in 9 min. Compositions of bio-oils were evaluated through 1H NMR, FT-IR ATR and a quantitative GC–MS method.

Oscillatory amplitude sweep tests indicated that composites show weak strain overshoot behavior in the nonlinear regime: This finding clearly proves the formation of weak structural complexes, which cause a retardation of the macromolecular chains dynamics.

An acetonitrile solution of each bio-oil was prepared without any extraction or other sample pretreatments. Preliminary thin layer chromatography showed a large number of compounds having a broad range of retention factors (Rfs) among 0–1. Products having a retention factor over 0.9 were mainly detected by GC while some other compounds were only identified by HPLC. GC/MS-FID analysis was used to identify and quantify compounds using peak areas and relative response factors (RRFs). A new equation was proposed to estimate RRFs of compounds identified via their MS spectra when experimental RRFs were not readily available. The novel procedure was employed to characterize bio-oils from pyrolysis of wood of different source or obtained using different pyrolysis procedure. Using this RRF method guaiacol, furfural, butan-2-one, levoglucosan, acetic acid and many other compounds were quantified in bio-oil samples. Different amount of them were found as a function of the type of wood, and pyrolysis conditions adopted. For instance levoglucosan was the main compound using carbon as MW absorber however acetic acid was prevalent when a MW absorber was not employed and both of them were absent in bio-oils from classical heating. The HPLC/MS of bio-oils showed cyclohexancarboxylic acid, 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene and 2,6-dimethylphenol among the main products present in all bio-oils. On the contrary 4-hydroxyacetophenone and (3,4,5-trimethoxy) acetophenone were present in bio-oil from pyrolysis of wood using MW oven and 2,5-furandiylmethanol when a MW oven without any absorber was employed.

We report here the synthesis of a collection of new synthetic DOTA-constructs bearing two (+)-biotin molecules (bis-biotins), designed for the creation of multimeric Av units (tetramers) bonded to the antibody. All the syntheses were carried out following the solid phase strategy and growing the molecules on a Rink Amide resin. The biotin heads are connected through spacers containing PEG or non-PEG residues. Molecular modelling calculations suggested that the Av cross-linking ability of the bis-biotins depends mainly on the spacers length, with the best results being expected for arms affording distances in the range of 10–25 Å between the biotin carboxylate atoms, in the fully extended conformation. SEC-HPLC MALLS analysis of the products of our Av/bis-biotin reaction mixtures have confirmed this hypothesis. The bis-biotin 16, where the non-PEG linker ensured a distance of 26.7 Å between the biotin moieties, gave about 50% of Av oligomers while the shorter analogue 18 (19.5 Å) afforded 100% of an Av polymer containing about 21 protein units. Remarkably, the solubility of both the bis-biotins, i.e.16 and 18, in aqueous solutions was good and they showed excellent stability against the action of peptidases.}, keywords = {Avidin; Biotin; Drug Stability; Heterocyclic Compounds, 1-Ring; Isotope Labeling; Models, Molecular; Molecular Weight; Protein Structure, Quaternary; Solid-Phase Synthesis Techniques; Dimerization; Drug Design; Protein Multimerization; Biochemistry; Physical and Theoretical Chemistry; Organic Chemistry}, url = {http://www.rsc.org/obc}, doi = {10.1039/c4ob02685c}, pages = {3988--4001} } .

CONFERENCE ABSTRACT

INSIGHTS INTO THE CO2 ADSORPTION PROPERTIES OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING ORDERED MESOPOROUS CARBONS @conference{ 11583_2953738, author = {Maruccia, E. and Lourenço, M. and Priamushko, T and Bartoli, M. and Bocchini, S. and Kleitz, F. and Gerbaldi, C.}, title = {INSIGHTS INTO THE CO2 ADSORPTION PROPERTIES OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING ORDERED MESOPOROUS CARBONS}, year = {2022}, publisher = {Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per la Scienza e Tecnologia dei Materiali (INSTM)}, booktitle = {Libro Atti}, abstract = {The increase of global CO2 concentration is the main responsible for global warming. Nitrogen-containing ordered mesoporous carbons (NOMCs) are here proposed as CO2 adsorbents, thanks to their adsorption ability and selectivity in simulated flue gases mixtures. In this work, NOMCs are synthesized as replications of an ordered mesoporous silica hard template, using the well-known nanocasting route. This method is convenient for achieving a pore architecture composed of both micro- and mesopores able to promote at the same time improved capture performances and fast kinetics of gas diffusion, respectively. One of the drawbacks of the synthesis of NOMCs is the use of toxic carbon/nitrogen sources or the addition of post-synthesis treatments for the nitrogen doping process. A more sustainable approach is proposed in this work, using eco-friendly sources as nitrogen-rich carbon precursors. The effect of the pyrolysis temperature (varied from 600 to 900 °C) on the development of microporosity and N incorporation was related to pure CO2 adsorption and selectivity in CO2/N2 mixtures (20/80 v/v). A maximum CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.47 mmol g-1 was achieved by the sample pyrolized at the highest temperature (i.e., 900°C) at 30 °C / 0.9 bar / pure CO2, while a CO2 uptake of 0.82 mmol g-1 was obtained by the sample pyrolized at the lowest temperature (i.e., 600 °C) at 35 °C / 1 bar / 20 % CO2. The enhancement in pure CO2 adsorption is due to the increase of the micropore content. On the contrary, a lower pyrolysis temperature (600 °C) allowed for the retention of a higher amount of N, beneficial for the selective adsorption of CO2 in presence of N2.}, keywords = {Mesoporous carbon, Nanocasting, Glucosamine, CO2 adsorption, Gas separation, Renewable feedstock}, url = {https://www.instm.it/xiii_convegno_nazionale_instm.aspx} } .

The nanocasting approach, using ordered mesoporous silica hard templates, was exploited for tuning the textural features of the carbonaceous adsorbents and therefore optimizing their capture performances and the kinetics of gas diffusion. Moreover, an eco-friendly nitrogen-containing carbon source was chosen as a precursor, in order to introduce basic sites useful to promote the interaction with the acidic CO2 molecule, thus fostering a selective adsorption in a gas mixture. CMK-8 materials were prepared using KIT-6 templates, varying the pyrolysis temperature in order to evaluate the role of microporosity and nitrogen species (amount and type of N inclusions, i.e. pyridinic, pyrrolic and graphitic) in CO2 adsorption. An extensive characterization of the ordered mesoporous architecture (low-angle XRD, FESEM, TEM and N2 physisorption at 77K), microporosity (CO2 isotherms at 273K) and surface chemical properties by XPS was carried out. CO2 capture tests were performed in different conditions of temperature and pressure. An adsorption of 1.05 mmol/g (4.6% weight increase) was achieved at 30 °C and 90 kPa in a pure CO2 flow. Also selectivity in a mixture with N2 and reusability upon cycling was investigated. The described NOMCs can be applied not only for CO2 up-take, but also in energy storage and conversion devices (e.g., lithium or sodium based batteries), photocatalysis or electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. For these applications, they can be used as-synthesized or decorated with specifically selected metal oxides and testing is now in progress in our laboratories.}, keywords = {CO2 capture and storage (CCS), ordered mesoporous carbons, CO2 adsorbent, Nanocasting}, url = {https://www.euromat2021.org/} } .

The catalyst could be easily recycled upon a simple filtration process. End-functionalized isotactic PLA chains were used to generate stereocomplexes, featured by a higher thermal and hydrolytic resistance. The chemical nature of the nitrogen ligand introduced at the chain end of PLA was exploited to stabilize Pdnanoparticles (Pd-NPs ) by interactions of the aromatic or nitrogen functionality with the NPs– surface. The polymer-anchored Pd-NPs were generated by a classical approach which comprised the coordination of Pd(II) by the functional group followed by reduction with hydrogen or by the metal vapor synthesis technique. The polymersupported Pd-NPs were successfully applied to catalyze the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to the corresponding alkene and cinnamylalcohol to the corresponding saturated aldehyde.

The conversion of these waste materials into a gas, a liquid and a solid, through a microwave assisted pyrolysis has been reviewed. The solid may be employed as filler to obtain composites or a solid fuel while the liquid is, usually, the more interesting product, as it may be a source of chemicals or liquid fuel. A study about upgrading of this liquid to a gasoline for automotive engine is also reported. The gas may be used as liquefied petroleum gas or converted into energy. Following a pyrolyis process, a complete recycle of waste polymeric materials may be realized.
