• LANXESS completes sale of membrane business to SUEZ
  

  Specialty chemicals company LANXESS completed the sale of its reverse osmosis membrane business. The business was acquired by French group SUEZ, a world leader in sustainable resource management. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. Thus, as of January 1, 2021, the production more

• Aerogel – the micro structural material of the future
  

  Aerogel is an excellent thermal insulator. So far, however, it has mainly been used on a large scale, for example in environmental technology, in physical experiments or in industrial catalysis. Empa researchers have now succeeded in making aerogels accessible to microelectronics and precision engin more

• Porous Liquids Allow for Efficient Gas Separation
  

  Jointly with cooperation partners, a researcher of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed “porous liquids”: Nanoparticles, that are able to separate gas molecules of different sizes from each other, float – finely distributed – in a solvent. This is because the particles have empty po more

• Analysis of water soluble polymers using linear size exclusion HPLC columns and a semi-micro SEC system
  

  One of the most widely used water-soluble polymers is Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). For more than 70 years it is applied in a variety of applications in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and industrial production. PVP binds to polar molecules exceptionally more

• VACUU•LAN® Vacuum Local Area Networks
  

  In modern chemical and pharmaceutical lab buildings vacuum supply has become a standard for each work station, just as water or gas supply. Therefore vacuum supply solutions are considered at earliest stage for new laboratory buildings and are fully more

• Improved MOF nanoparticle recovery and purification using crosslinked PVDF membranes

  Crosslinked PVDF-membranes are demonstrated to offer a viable alternative for centrifugation in the preparation of MOF-particles, thus realising new opportunities at lab-scale and continuous production at large-scale. The membranes combine extreme-pH with solvent stability, thus enabling application more

• Elucidating Mysteries of Phase-Segregated Membranes: Mobile-Lipid Recruitment Facilitates Pores’ Passage to the Fluid Phase

  Phase segregation of multicomponent lipid bilayers leads to, under phase-coexistence conditions, domain formation, featuring delimitation by essentially one-dimensional borders. (Micro-)phase segregation of bilayers is proposed to influence the physiological behaviour of cell membranes and provides more

• Evaluation of Topologically Distinct Constrained Antimicrobial Peptides with Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity

  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short cationic peptides with a high affinity for membranes and emerged as a promising therapeutic approach with potential for treating infectious diseases. Chemical stabilization of short peptides proved to be a successful approach for enhancing their bio-physical p more
