Acrylic Acid

Despite the best efforts of industry to work towards sustainability, most plastics (or polymers) are still made using non-renewable fossil fuels. However, researchers have now found an economical method for producing biobased acrylate resins. The study, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, sh more

BASF inaugurated its world-scale production complex for acrylic acid, butyl acrylate and superabsorbent polymers in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. These are the first plants for acrylic acid and superabsorbent polymers in South America. The complex has a capacity of 160,000 tons of acrylic acid per year. more

BASF has decided to exit the current R&D collaboration with Novozymes and Cargill to develop a bio-based process for producing 3-hydroxypropionic (3-HP) and acrylic acid from renewable raw materials. BASF joined the collaboration with Novozymes and Cargill in 2012 and are now leaving the partnership more

We report a novel and smart fabrication strategy of functional nanonetwork-structured carbon nitride with Au nanoparticle yolks (FNNS-C3N4-Au) based on hairy poly(acrylic acid)-grafted SiO2 nanopaticles (Au@SiO2-g-PAA). Benefiting from the three-dimensional nanonetwork structure and well-distributed more

Understanding the surface properties and rheology of colloidal suspensions in the presence of polymer additives with high salinity is of great importance in formulating construction materials, and optimizing process conditions in mining and petroleum industry. In this work, the surface properties an more
