“Finally, I’m pleased to announce we are also returning a further £50m via share buyback which completes our £600m capital return commitment in the first three years of the plan.”
This chapter discusses recent trends and advances of mesoporous molecular sieve in catalysis and also highlights the potential of these catalysts particularly in the field of organic reactions, which properly modified mesoporous catalysts are capable to catalyze. Successful synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves has opened a new fascinating research area in inorganic chemistry strongly connected with organometallic chemistry and solid state chemistry and has potential applications in adsorption, drug delivery and catalysis. Mesoporous molecular sieves doubtless accelerated the development of new interesting catalysts in acid, base, and redox catalysis. In addition, large surface areas together with pore sizes in mesopore range enable the immobilization of highly active and selective homogeneous catalysts. Examples of mesoporous molecular sieves-involving acid-catalyzed reactions, hydrodesulfurization, metathesis, hydroxyalkylations, and C-C bond forming reactions (Heck reaction or Suzuki reaction) have been provided in the chapter. Activity of synthesized catalysts strongly depends on the type of mesoporous support under investigation, way of its modification, interaction of active species with the surface, and reaction conditions. Catalytic systems based on mesoporous silica or alumina supports modified with transition metal oxides for hydrodesulfurization (MoO3) and metathesis of olefins and unsaturated esters have also been discussed in this chapter. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Ding Sansan, added, “Although the manufacturing cost of carbon fiber composite material is higher than traditional metal material, the former is much lighter and has obvious strength in energy-saving, and it also has some excellent performances in fatigue resistance, tolerance to different weather conditions and corrosion resistance, which can effectively ensure the metro vehicle free from failures due to fatigue and corrosion in its 30-year of service life, thus the maintenance work is reduced and the entire life cycle cost is decreased. A lighter vehicle also reduces damage to the metro line.”

(A) Coimmunoprecipitation of integrin β1 and BMPRI occurred on BMP-2 sequestered by FN on PEA, and bands correspond to BMPRIa (60 kD) after precipitation with anti–integrin β1 antibodies. The graphs show quantification of bands relative to the absence of BMP-2. This colocalization can also be seen in individual cells with integrin β1 (stained red) and BMPRIa (stained green). (B) Smad signaling was drastically altered when BMP-2 was presented bound on FNIII12–14; blocking this GF-binding domain of FN (using the monoclonal antibody P5F3 at a molar ratio of 1 with FN to block the GF-binding site) reduces Smad signaling. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. (C) Phosphorylation of extracellular signal–related kinase (ERK) 1/2 was significantly enhanced on PEA when BMP-2 was presented at the material interface, sequestered on FN, compared to the presence of the same doses of the soluble factor. (D) In-cell Western assay for Smad, FAK, pERK 1/2, and pRUNX2 with BMP-2 on FN on PEA, soluble BMP-2, and blocking with P5F3 before BMP-2 adsorption. (E) This fulfills the first part of the synergistic signaling hypothesis. (F) Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for osteocalcin (OCN) and osteonectin (ON) after 14 days of culture (PEA and PMA); enhanced expression occurs when BMP-2 was presented bound on FN compared to soluble administration of the GF or when BMP-2 was sequestered on the material surface (PMA) but not bound to FN. (G) Immunofluorescence for osteocalcin and osteonectin confirmed the results obtained at the gene level [red, osteocalcin/osteonectin; blue, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)]. (H) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining on PEA comparing BMP-2 bound to FN fibrils versus soluble BMP-2. Noggin (50 ng/ml) was used in both conditions as the BMP-2 inhibitor to prevent activity (image quantification included in the graph). Results show means ± SD [n = 3 for all experiments, except for the graph in (H), where 9 images were used]. The Tukey-Kramer method was used with multiple-comparisons posttest ANOVA. Symbols show statistical significant differences with all the other conditions (*P = 0.001, ¥P = 0.01).

Now let’s turn to the strategy and capital allocation framework. Under the framework, we target generating $26 to $30 billion in cash through 2019. We plan to return more than $12.5 billion to our shareholders through repurchases and dividends, and to invest $10 billion to extend our leadership and deliver growth. As we’ve discussed with you numerous times, we have continued to make great progress toward the framework goals we announced in October 2015. As we enter the final year of our plan, we expect to meet our stated goals. Our cash generation is on target, and through the end of 2018, we have returned $11.8 billion to shareholders. We increased dividends per share by 50% since the framework began. Investments in RD&E, capital expenditures, and acquisitions also remain on track to our four-year plan, totaling $8.2 billion through the end of 2018.
It’s mm-scale battery, code-named Golden Hind, is designed for miniature medical implants, which account for about 50% of the current commercial opportunities in Ilika’s licensing pipeline. The cells are fabricated on standard semiconductor industry wafers usingthe company’s proprietary vacuum deposition technique. The cells are etched from the materials deposited on the wafer and singulated using standard industry back-end processing techniques. lIika has developed the materials and process technologies to make these cells on its pilot line in Southampton, UK and to align with customer demands.
OUTLOOK ’17: US plasticizers face shortages, new capacity The US plasticizers market will enter 2017 with shortages of di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isononyl-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DINCH) due to several force majeure declarations in western Europe. This will be partially offset with new US capacity of dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) in early 2017.
MMA is a key driver for the consumption of other chemicals. Roughly one-fourth of global acetone production is used to produce MMA, so MMA is a significant contributor to downstream chemical consumption, the report said. Acetone, however, has been relatively expensive in western markets due to pricing it against what most in the industry think of as its feedstock. A longer-term issue for MMA production is that MMA demand derived from the traditional acetone cyanohydrin route is static due to the fact that it requires hydrogen cyanide (HCN) as feedstock and there are scale limitations, Poussin said.
"At low-weight percentages, glucaric acid seemed to be a plausible additive for the spinning of PVA fibers because of its hydroxyl groups. Its chemistry was also believed to engage in strong hydrogen bonding with drawn matrix polymer without hindering PVA crystallization," Ford added.
