Aliovalent‑Doped Iron Oxide Oxygen Carriers for Chemical Looping
TS-074441 —
Chemical looping gasification and combustion are promising pathways for low‑carbon energy conversion, CO₂ capture, and syngas production, but their commercial deployment is constrained by the performance of available oxygen carrier materials. Existing metal oxide oxygen carriers often suffer f…

Reversible Shape-Changing Amorphous Polymers via Liquid Crystal Templating
TS-071745 — The Need
Current two-way shape memory polymers (SMPs) require expensive, crystalline or liquid crystalline monomers and complex synthesis, limiting their use in cost-sensitive and biocompatible applications. Widely used amorphous polymers (e.g., polystyrene, PMMA) are inexpensive and common in con…
