Novel Binders

Specialty binders may be used in novel or unique forming operations. Cross-linking polymers are used to induce gelation in gelcasting.

Zhao et al. implemented a structure-based docking protocol to narrow down 500 compounds from a database of 57 compounds in their pursuit of FKBPs inhibitors (89). A novel scaffold was designed using the information obtained from the binding mode analysis of a known weak binder. To avoid any scoring function shortcomings, three scoring functions were used to select the 500 compounds. Of these, 43 were synthesized and tested to identify one potent inhibitor in a mouse peripheral synthetic nerve model.

The synthesis of nanostructured carbon using aliphatic alcohols as selfassembling molecules has demonstrated that this strategy can be extended beyond metal oxide-based materials [38]. Recently, we have reported the synthesis of a novel carbon material with tunable porosity by using a liquid-crystalline precursor containing a surfactant and a carbon-yielding chemical, furfuryl alcohol. The carbonization of the cured self-assembled carbon precursor produces a new carbon material with both controlled porosity and electrical conductivity. The unique combination of both features is advantageous for many relevant applications. For example, when tested as a supercapacitor electrode, specific capacitances over 120 F/g were obtained without the need to use binders, additives, or activation to increase surface area [38]. The proposed synthesis method is versatile and economically attractive, and allows for the precise control of the structure.
