Article Selective Catalytic Hydrogenation of Cellulose into Sorbitol with Ru-Based Catalysts(2022) Orak, C.; Sapmaz, A.; Yüksel Özşen, A.Sorbitol is one of the platform chemicals and can be produced from various renewable and sustainable sources via different processes. Hydrothermal liquefaction is an effective and promising approach to produce sorbitol, since the subcritical reaction media and appropriate catalysts provide a selective production of platform chemicals. In this study, sorbitol was produced from different renewable sources (cellulose and glucose) in the presence of Ru-based catalysts (Ru/SiO2, Ru/AC, Ru/SBA-15, and Ru/SBA-15-SO3) under subcritical conditions. The highest cellulose conversion was achieved as 90% in the presence of Ru/SBA-15-SO3 for 1 h of reaction duration. The highest sorbitol yield (%) by hydrothermal liquefaction of cellulose was obtained as 6.2% by using Ru/AC for 1 h of reaction duration. A total of 99.9% of glucose conversion was achieved in the presence of all catalysts. The highest sorbitol yield (%) by hydrothermal liquefaction of glucose was found as 3.8% for 1 h of reaction duration. Owing to the results of GC-MS analysis, the intermediate products were identified, and, thus, a reaction pathway was proposed. © 2022 TUBITAK.

It explains the effects of the surface modification of fillers on the properties of composite materials having polypropylene as the matrix. The surface modification of fillers affects the properties of the polypropylene matrix composites in different aspects depending on the types of the filler and the modifications. The polypropylene phase was also functionalized by treating PP with MA or ammines. The properties most affected are the tensile strength, Young modulus, and elongation at break of the composites. If crosslinking occurs between the filler and functionalized PP, the tensile strength increases and elongation at break decreases owing to decrease in mobility. PP crystallite formation at the interface also increases the adhesion between filler and matrix. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. All rights reserved.
