Dr. Kozak and Dr. Kerton have both had papers accepted during the holidays for a forthcoming special issue of the RSC journal Catalysis Science & Technology.

Dr. Kerton is also a co-author on a paper published by Prof. Ning Yan at the National University of Singapore, which is about the direct conversion of chitin into a N-containing furan (3A5AF).

Congratulations to all the co-authors on these papers!
