BASF has designed a packaging system called PeroXeal that offers better protection for Kollidon, a pharmaceutical excipient based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), against exposure to oxygen and chances of being oxidized,which in turn decreases the peroxide level of Kollidon.
Dow Coating Materials, a supplier of advanced coatings raw materials, has introduced a new HASE offering called ACRYSOL DR-110 rheology modifier, which provides architectural paint formulators an economical replacement to hydrophobically-modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HMHEC).
Water insolubility is one of the major disadvantages of quantum dots that make them unsuitable for biological and medical applications. To overcome this problem, scientists at the Singapore-based A*STAR agency and at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente have created a coating that makes the nano-scale light sources soluble in water.
