Green Chemistry Issue 11 is now online. The cover features work from Jairton Dupont and co-workers from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. They show that a dicyclohexylguanidine group covalently attached on silica gel is an efficient basic heterogeneous catalyst for the production of biodiesel in a continuous flow reactor. Find out more by reading the full article ‘Silica-supported guanidine catalyst for continuous flow biodiesel production’. 
The inside front cover highlights a paper from Alexander Bismark and colleagues at Imperial College London in which frothing of acrylated epoxidised soybean oil (AESO) followed by microwave initiated polymerisation is used to make bacterial cellulose reinforced polyAESO nanocomposite foams. The introduction of Bacterial Cellulose significantly enhanced the stability of the gas-soybean oil foam templates and enhanced the mechanical properties of the polymer nanocomposite foams. Find out more by reading the full article ‘Bio-based macroporous polymer nanocomposites made by mechanical frothing of acrylated epoxidised soybean oil’.
These cover articles are free for all to access until December 15th.
