It’s all about the sausage
Choosing the right proteins can improve the mouthfeel of vegetarian sausages
25-Jul-2022
The right crack of the sausage is, not least, a matter of physics. A team from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz has investigated how the properties of plant proteins influence the mouthfeel of vegetarian and vegan sausages. Using the findings this revealed, the first ...

How water surfaces can be used to produce functional materials
19-Oct-2021
The production of high-quality monolayers – i.e. only one molecule high - is highly relevant for optoelectronic components such as organic light-emitting diodes used today in modern cell phones: Both lifetime and energy efficiency can be increased. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for ...
Waters and Malvern Panalytical collaborate to improve polymer characterization
18-Jan-2018
Waters Corporation announced that it entered into a co-marketing agreement with Malvern Panalytical to advance the analysis of polymers. By pairing the Waters ® ACQUITY ® Advanced Polymer Chromatography ® (APC ™ ) System with Malvern Panalytical’s OMNISEC ® REVEAL , R&D scientists can access ...
LANXESS Urethane Systems will enhance research on next generation materials
Collaboration with University of Massachusetts Amherst
16-Oct-2017
The Urethane Systems business unit of specialty chemicals company LANXESS decided to join the Center for UMass/Industry Research on Polymers (CUMIRP) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA, in order to enhance its scientific research on next generation materials. CUMIRP acts as a ...
Spiders spin unique phononic material
27-Jul-2016
New discoveries about spider silk could inspire novel materials to manipulate sound and heat in the same way semiconducting circuits manipulate electrons, according to scientists at Rice University, in Europe and in Singapore. A paper looks at the microscopic structure of spider silk and reveals ...
Smart polymers: Complex matter where simplicity matters
17-Sep-2014
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz unveil the microscopic mechanism behind the puzzling co-non-solvency effect that leads to smart polymer collapse in a mixture of good solvents. MPI-P scientists Kurt Kremer and Debashish Mukherji, together with their ...
A new path to produce membranes
26-Aug-2013
In the future, carbon nanomembranes are expected to be able to filter out very fine materials. These separating layers are ultrathin, consisting of just one layer of molecules. In the long term, they could allow to separate gases from one another, for example, filtering toxins from the air. At ...
Titania photocatalyst produces hydrogen and generates photocurrents under visible light
09-Oct-2012
Combining a cheap polymer resin with titania produces a photocatalyst that can produce hydrogen and generate photocurrents under visible light, say scientists in the Republic of Korea. Titania is commonly used as a base material for solar energy conversion. But it has a wide band gap so doesn’t ...
