The acquisition expands Arclin's capabilities in North America, and is viewed as a key step in the company's strategy toward expanding its product presence into sectors that are adjacent to its core chemistries and business.
Polymers are unlike other types of compounds because of their extremely large size, which
has a great impact on their unique properties and how they behave in different phase states. Many applications of polymers and polymer coatings need flexibility at low to ambient temperatures. This article explores the difference between amorphous and crystalline polymers.
Researchers at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, have chemically imprinted polymer particles with DNA strands – a technique that could lead to new materials for applications ranging from biomedicine to the promising field of "soft robotics."
Advanced Polymer Monitoring Technologies (APMT) announced it has achieved automatic control of polymer molecular weight during synthesis utilizing new capabilities integrated with APMT’s ACOMP product, which monitors polymer properties during polymerization reactions.
Covestro and Deutsche Eishockey Liga, the German Ice Hockey League, or DEL, have agreed to enter into an initial four-year partnership, starting with the coming 2016-2017 season.
Advanced Polymer Monitoring Technologies Inc.’s (APMT Inc.) automatic continuous online monitoring of polymer reactions (ACOMP) product for industrial-scale polymer production monitoring has been installed and is operating in a polymer facility since the fall of 2014.
When Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, was awarded the 2015 Dreyfus Prize in the Chemical Sciences, topping the selection criteria was his 1995 development of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
