"Metathesis in water conducted by tailor-made encapsulated Grubbs' catalyst" - behind these technical terms lies not only the title of a specialist article, but also a successful collaboration between Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences (FH Bielefeld) and Bielefeld University. The article is a joint publication by doctoral student Jan Pauly and his supervisors Prof. Dr Anant Patel (Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences) and Prof. Dr Harald Gröger (Bielefeld University) on the encapsulation of a chemical catalyst in biopolymer hydrogels. The article was published in November in the renowned journal Green Chemistry (impact factor 8.586). A joint article on the encapsulation of an enzyme (biocatalyst) was previously published in the Journal of Biotechnology in August.
