Abstract

Abstract: Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Dr. Roberto Rinaldi from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. The Cover image is an artistic representation of the collision model for the ball mill operation effecting the mechanocatalytic depolymerization of (ligno‐)cellulose resulting in water‐soluble oligosaccharides (and lignin oligomers). The Full Paper itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.201702060 . Abstract : "We undertake pioneering research at the border of Wood Chemistry, Catalysis, and Reaction Engineering…" This and more about the story behind the research that inspired the Cover image is presented in the Cover Profile.
