Bioorthogonal chemical reactions are paving the way for new innovations in biology. These
reactions possess extreme selectivity and biocompatibility, such that their participating
reagents can form covalent bonds within richly functionalized biological systems—in some …

The transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol as well as the main uses of the fatty
acid methyl esters are reviewed. The general aspects of this process and the applicability of
different types of catalysts (acids, alkaline metal hydroxides, alkoxides and carbonates …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have drawn a lot of interest both in academia and in industry
because of the self-cleaning properties. This critical review focuses on the recent progress
(within the last three years) in the preparation, theoretical modeling, and applications of …

In this critical review, metal oxides-based materials for electrochemical supercapacitor (ES)
electrodes are reviewed in detail together with a brief review of carbon materials and
conducting polymers. Their advantages, disadvantages, and performance in ES electrodes …

This tutorial review presents an introduction to the field of noble metal nanoparticles and
their current applications. The origin of the surface plasmon resonance and synthesis
procedures are described. A number of applications are presented that take advantage of …

Nanotechnology has finally and firmly entered the realm of drug delivery. Performances of
intelligent drug delivery systems are continuously improved with the purpose to maximize
therapeutic activity and to minimize undesirable side-effects. This review describes the …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) display a wide range of luminescent behaviors resulting
from the multifaceted nature of their structure. In this critical review we discuss the origins of
MOF luminosity, which include the linker, the coordinated metal ions, antenna effects …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of crystalline solids comprised of
metal cations (or metal clusters) and organic ligands that have shown promise for a wide
variety of applications. Over the past 15 years, research and development of these materials …

In contrast to a recently expressed, and widely cited, view that “Ionic liquids are starting to
leave academic labs and find their way into a wide variety of industrial applications”, we
demonstrate in this critical review that there have been parallel and collaborative exchanges …
