The technology offers a new one-pot reaction to prepare efficiently various aryl substituted p-hydroxy styrene derivatives from phenol derivatives and pyruvic acid as starting materials. The para-vinylated phenols of the enzymatic / biocatalytic reaction can be used as monomers for the production of polymers, likely novel polystyrene or polyphenol derivatives. Properties of the resulting polmyers might offer the use as flame retardant material or in electronic industry.
New treatment concept against two devastating honeybee larval diseases, i.e., American and European foulbrood (AFB, EFB), based on the natural compound lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPC exhibits strong antibacterial activity against the causative agents of AFB and EFB and LPC supplementation to honeybee larvae was proven to reduce the outbreak of AFB significantly. The utilization of an LPC based therapy contributes to improve environmental sustainability in honeybee health and may offer new business perspectives in veterinary medicine.
The University offers a new technology addressing at least the two markets of tumour-induced cachexia and diabetes type II. Cancer has become a constantly increasing problem and thus about 1 % of all people in highly developed countries are hit by cachexia, leading to approximately 9 million patients for Europe, Japan and the US. Furthermore, diabetes type II is one of the major lifestyle diseases in the modern world.
The University offers an unprecedented enzyme that cleaves alkenes to the corresponding aldehydes at the expense of molecular oxygen. This mild and selective oxidation method has broad applicability either for the preparation of aldehyde intermediated or for the chemical production of aromatic essences and flavourings enabling a reduction of chemical solvents and cheaper production processes. The markets for using this enzyme are the fine chemicals and the aromatic/flavourings industries.
Ion beams are applied in many fields, such as medicine, semiconductor industry and basic research.
The invention intoduced here relates to a measurement device and a method to determine the energy of accelerated ions without destructing them.
Inventors of the RWTH Aachen University filed a patent relating the production of the multiaxial enforcement fabrics for textile composites with ORW (Open Reed Weave). To avoid load path interruptions in composites with textile enforcement, an overlapping of two yarn systems in the textile, by means of a special weaving pattern, leads to continuous load path in bias direction, reaching a “Triaxial” fabric, which is the main approach of the investigation. The Angle of additional reinforcement direction is adjustable and the calculated necessary overlapping is 16.28 mm length.
The system´s capability was verified by conducting three-point bending tests. These are performed varying the overlapping length, testing carbon and glass fibers and using reference samples as follows: [0/90°] fabrics and [0/90/45°] fabrics with continuous reinforcement. The results were successful in all cases. PROvendis offers licenses for interested enterprises on behalf of the University of Aachen.
