Most of the current techniques discussed in the literature are related to additive manufacturing (AM) of lightweight implants based on reliable, precise, flexible scaffolds and capable of mimicking bone properties while incorporating multi-physics features. Furthermore, these techniques have evolved in the production of a variety of biocompatible materials. AM has progressed beyond prototype to full-scale manufacturing of metals, polymers, and ceramic products. However, metallic implants often fail in vivo due to biocorrosion and deterioration, limiting implant longevity. This study reviewed current trends and approaches to enhancing the surface corrosion resistance of porous metallic implants and the effect of interfacial films on biological activity. The art of porous metallic implants manufactured by additive manufacturing and their biocorrosion behavior are discussed. This review also evaluates future trends and perspectives in additively manufactured synthetic orthopedic implants porous with enhanced surface morphology.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67352017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is measured and controlled in a very wide range of applications, for example in combustion (engines, heating), heat treatment of high value components, healthcare (fever screening), meteorology and climate monitoring. Measurement and control of industrial process temperature in particular is key to maximising product quality, optimising energy efficiency, reducing waste and minimising carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. It is also essential for ensuring safety; an accurate measure of temperature minimises the risk of operating outside the required process envelope (for example in nuclear power generation). There are several settings in which recent innovations have brought about significant improvements in thermometry, and these are described in this themed issue. Also discussed in this issue is the assessment and optimisation of safety in lithium-ion batteries, which is also a very important topic given the ubiquity of those devices, and testing for corrosion in chemical process plants, again a widespread issue of great relevance to many practitioners.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67351354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fructose was the most suitable carbon source and high BC concentrations up to 31 g/L were achieved in substrates with 60 g/L fructose, under static culture conditions. Notably, BC production was equally high under the same fermentation conditions in agitated cultures (~30 g/L). Moreover, the effectiveness of NaOH and NaOCl solutions in BC purification, and their potential impact on BC structure and properties were explored. The combination of weak NaOH and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was proved an effective purification method, preserving the fibre structure and crystallinity of BC.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67352001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selective and efficient functionalisation of this bond into many more useful carbon-element bonds (e.g., C-B, C-Si, C-O, and C-S bonds) would have many uses in pharmaceutical and bulk chemical synthesis. Activation of the C-H bond is, however, challenging due to the high strength and low bond-polarity of this bond rendering its cleavage unfavourable. With the correct choice of reagents and systems, especially those utilising directing groups, kinetically and thermodynamically favourable catalytic processes have been developed. However, a key remaining challenge is the development of undirected, intermolecular reactions using catalysts that are both selective and active enough to make useful processes. In this review, the progress towards optimising group 9 C-H activation catalysts is discussed, particularly focusing on undirected reactions that are kinetically more difficult, starting with a brief history of C-H activation, identifying the importance of auxiliary ligands including the nature of anionic ligand (e.g., cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, fluorenyl, trispyrazolylborate) and neutral ligands (e.g., phosphines, carbonyl, alkenes, N-heterocyclic carbenes) that contribute towards the stability and reactivity of these metal complexes. The tethering of the anionic ligand to strong σ-donating ligands is also briefly discussed. The focus of this review is primarily on the group 9 metals rhodium and iridium, however, C-H activation using group 8 and 10 metals are compared where useful. The most recent advances in this field include the development of C-H borylation of many small hydrocarbon substrates such as arenes, heterocycles and n-alkanes as well as the more challenging substrate methane.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67352274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review discusses the current understanding of the hydrogen spillover mechanism, including the nature of the active sites and the factors that affect spillover efficiency. It also summarizes the recent advances in catalyst design, such as the use of promoters and dopants, to enhance the hydrogen spillover effect and improve catalytic performance.

The capsules showed a narrow size distribution, and the mean particle size of optimum\u0000 formulations of shea butter was 390 nm. Denim fabrics were treated with shea butter capsules using the methods of exhaustion and spraying in order to compare these application methods. The presence of capsules on the fabrics was tested after five wash cycles. The comparison of application\u0000 methods found similar preferred characteristics for both the exhaustion and spraying methods. However, the spraying method was found to be more sustainable, because it allows working with low liquor ratios in less water, with lower chemical consumption and less waste than the exhaustion method,\u0000 which requires working with a high liquor ratio. This study showed that the spraying method can be used as an alternative to other application methods in the market for reducing energy consumption, and shea butter capsules can provide moisturising properties to the fabrics.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48729664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
