Virtual Special Issue: Invited Papers from the 251st ACS National Meeting in San Diego
■
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research is pleased to publish this virtual special issue devoted to papers from authors who made outstanding presentations at the 251st ACS National Meeting in San Diego. This compilation is our second such virtual special issue, with the first being comprised of selected papers from the 250th ACS National Meeting in Boston, MA.1 We ask the session chairs and symposia organizers within a few divisions that align with I&EC Research subject areas to identify the best presentation from their session. We then invite these presenters to submit a manuscript to be published in I&EC Research and featured in the virtual special issue. Following our regular peer review procedures, each accepted paper is published with a note indicating that it was an invited contribution as a result of an outstanding presentation from an ACS National Meeting. I&EC Research is delighted to showcase 20 papers in the ACS San Diego Virtual Special Issue [http://pubs.acs.org/ page/iecred/vi/SanDiego-National-Meeting2016]. Nearly half of the articles2−10 deal with synthesis of polymeric materials that offer sustainability advantages over those used more conventionally. These advantages include use of biobased monomers or natural biopolymers and designing for biodegradability and biocompatibility. Another theme that emerges from this collection is advances in sustainable energy.11−16 These articles discuss electrochemical systems, CO2 capture, directly coupling ethanol production via fermentation with generation of electricity in a fuel cell, and fundamentals of catalysis that can find energy-related applications. Three of the articles17−19 focus on health care and discuss synthesis with monoclonal antibody fragments, tissue engineering, nanomedicine, and drug discovery. Two articles20,21 address topics related to the use and characterization of gold clusters with tens of atoms, two focus on heterogeneous catalysis,11,12 and two focus on first-principles studies of electrochemical reactions.13,14 The valuable contributions in this Virtual Special Issue come from authors in the United States, Japan, China, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Finland, and South Korea, with affiliations ranging from universities to government research laboratories and industry. We trust that this latest Virtual Special Issue from an ACS National Meeting will be valued by both our authors and readers.
