Styrenics

INEOS Styrolution announces plans to increase its compounding capacity for engineering plastics by an additional 34,000 metric tonnes per annum at its Moxi plant located in Gujarat, India. Expected for completion in 2019, this expansion will grow INEOS Styrolution’s compounding capacity to 100,000 m more

The supplier of styrenics will operate from its global headquarters located in Frankfurt, Germany. The new facility was officially inaugurated on Nov. 11 for employees from all global functions, as well as several functions from the EMEA region. “We are looking forward to start working at our new, g more

BASF SE and INEOS AG have received approvals from all relevant antitrust authorities for the formation of the joint venture Styrolution. Closing is effective as of October 1, 2011. From this date on Styrolution operates independently. Dr. Martin Brudermüller, Vice Chairman of the Board of Executive more

ABSTRACT High sulfur content copolymers were prepared via the inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur with styrene. This reaction was carried out at a relatively low temperature and invokes a new chain transfer mechanism of abstraction of benzylic protons to form stable copolymers. The use of more

A versatile strategy is reported for the multigram synthesis of discrete oligomers from commercially available monomer families, e.g., acrylates, styrenics, and siloxanes. Central to this strategy is the identification of reproducible procedures for the separation of oligomer mixtures using automate more

We propose a new method for the determination of reactivity ratios based on a nonterminal model of copolymerization kinetics. Within the context of this model, we derive simple, reactivity-ratio-dependent expressions whose solution relies solely on monomer consumption information spanning the full r more
