Fine Tuning of Thermal Activation and C,H-Insertion Crosslinking of Phenyl Diazo Ester Polymers

Abstract We describe the synthesis and crosslinking of polymers containing substituted phenyl diazo ester moieties. The diazo groups, which are dormant at room temperature, can be thermally activated to generate carbenes by releasing nitrogen. This subsequently causes C−H inserti...

The ECOSENSE forest: a distributed sensor and data management system for real-time monitoring of ecosystem processes and stresses

Abstract. Forests provide crucial ecosystem services, but are vulnerable to climate-related physical and biological stresses, such as droughts, pests and pathogens. The rapid climate change currently observed increases the pressure on forest ecosystems, with already drastic conse...
