Making More Plastics Recyclable
04-Sep-2019
To date, it is nothing but the wishful thinking of many plastics recyclers: that recyclability is taken into account right from the very beginning of a product’s life cycle, at the product design stage. A new project aims at making this dream come true. Whether multi-layered food packaging, ...
On-site detection of hazardous substances
05-Jun-2019
Together with partners from research and industry, Fraunhofer IAF has developed a hand-held scanner for hazardous substances within the EU project CHEQUERS. The sensor detects explosive, toxic and other dangerous substances in real time and will help emergency personnel with on-site detections at ...
NIST Study Identifies Chemical Blends as Possible Alternative Refrigerants
31-May-2019
More than a dozen chemical blends could serve as alternative refrigerants that won’t heat the atmosphere as much as today’s refrigerants do, or catch fire, according to a new computational study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST study identified the 22 “best” ...
BASF develops process for climate-friendly methanol
Successful team of experts applies for patent for complex process
29-May-2019
The production processes of the most important basic chemicals are responsible for around 70 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical industry. BASF experts are working intensely on new technologies to substantially reduce emissions in these processes. The company has bundled all ...
Development of an Efficient Enantioselective Desymmetrization Strategy Using Recombinant Pig Liver Esterases
14-May-2019
An economically significant process intensification for the efficient enzymatic synthesis of (1S,2R)-1-(methoxycarbonyl) cyclohex-4-ene-2-carboxylic acid was achieved by a careful adaption of the reaction mode to minimize mass transfer limitations. (1S,2R)-1-(methoxycarbonyl) ...
LANXESS to deploy artificial intelligence in product development
Partnership with materials AI start-up
09-May-2019
LANXESS is set to break new ground when it comes to the development of customer-specific high-performance plastics. By deploying artificial intelligence (AI), the specialty chemicals company is looking to drastically cut the amount of time it takes to develop new materials. For this, LANXESS has ...
Fraunhofer presents high-speed microscope with intuitive gesture control
25-Apr-2019
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen has developed a high-speed microscope for quality control of large-area objects for the semiconductor and electronics industries or for rapid testing of biological samples. The microscope digitizes samples with up to 500 frames per ...
Batteries from the printer: Evonik presents a new technology at the LOPEC trade show
New materials allow thin and flexible energy storage devices
21-Mar-2019
Evonik is unveiling TAeTTOOz®, a new material technology for printable batteries, at the LOPEC trade show. TAeTTOOz® has been developed on the basis of what are known as redox polymers by Creavis, the strategic innovation unit of Evonik. The new materials can be processed by conventional printing ...
Lightweight metal foams become bone hard and explosion proof after being nanocoated
18-Mar-2019
Strong enough not only for use in impact protection systems in cars, but able to absorb the shock waves produced by a detonation. Those are just some of the properties shown by the metallic foams developed by materials scientists Stefan Diebels and Anne Jung at Saarland University. Their super ...
Breakthrough could enable cheaper infrared cameras
12-Mar-2019
There's an entire world our eyes miss, hidden in the ranges of light wavelengths that human eyes can't see. But infrared cameras can pick up the secret light emitted as plants photosynthesize, as cool stars burn and batteries get hot. They can see through smoke and fog and plastic. But infrared ...
