Attrition milling is an easily scalable and environmentally friendly process used to produce Ca3Co4O9+δ nanoprecursors in a relatively short time. Sintered materials produced through the classical solid-state method, involving ball milling, show much larger grain sizes and slightly lower density than those obtained in samples produced from attrition-milled precursors. On the other hand, electrical resistivity has been drastically decreased, accompanied with a slight decrease in the Seebeck coefficient in samples obtained from these attrition-milled precursors. Moreover, the use of an attrition milling process leads to a very important reduction in processing time (around 75%), together with a slight power factor improvement of around 10%, when compared to the classically prepared samples.

A series of symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted buta-1,3-diynes is prepared with excellent yields (up to 95%) through homocoupling of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a copper salt under solvent-free conditions. This method provides an environmentally friendly process to prepare 1,3-diynes in short reaction times under mild conditions. Furthermore, the method is suitable for a wide substrate scope and has excellent functional group compatibility. The reaction can also be scaled up to gram level.

A simple, inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly process for converting mixtures of clays and polymers has been developed. Polymer and clay are combined in water, and the mixtures are freeze dried to produce materials which have bulk densities typically in the range of 0.03 – 0.15 g/cm3. These low density polymer/clay aerogel materials possess good mechanical properties similar to those of traditional polymer foams, can be reinforced with fibers, modified with nanoparticles, biomineralized, or converted into porous ceramics.

Focusing on the step-by-step transformation of the traditional solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) into an environmentally friendly process, we herein report the elimination of environmentally hazardous components (piperidine, DMF and DCM) from this technique.

This paper presents a study of the structure and microwave properties of [Formula: see text] substituted into the Ti 4+ site of calcium titanate ceramics. The structural and dielectric properties of solid solutions in CaTi 1-x( Nb 1/2 Fe 1/2)x O 3, was done. The microwave dielectric properties of solid solutions in CaTi 1-x( Nb 1/2 Fe 1/2)x O 3, (CNFTOX with x = 0.1 to x = 1) is discussed. The modified CaTiO3 (CTO) ceramics were prepared by a new procedure in the solid-state method. A study of the variations of the ball-milling process was done. The calcinations were done at 900°C for 3 and 5 h respectively, and the sintering at 1100°C, for 3 h. The structural property studies of the ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The X-ray analysis showed that all samples have an orthorhombic structure. The refinement analysis of all samples were also duly performed and discussed. The nine scattering bands centered at 183, 227, 247, 288, 338, 470, 490 and 805 cm-1 were observed. Several peaks presented a small shift as a function of the x value. All Raman spectra in the studied samples showed a small band at 805 cm-1, which is a function of the x value. The dielectric permittivity and loss at microwave frequencies (MW) were investigated. For both calcination treatments (900°C for 3 and 5 h), the dielectric permittivity decreased with a decrease of the titanium content. Dielectric permittivity values in the range of 20 to 80 were obtained. It was also observed that a higher number of balls in the milling process contribute to the increase of the εr values. The CNFTO has an excellent microwave property at x = 0.6, with a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) near zero (τf = 2.8 ppm/°C).
