3M and Korea-based ECOPRO have entered into a patent license agreement that aims at further expanding the use of Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) cathode materials in lithium ion batteries. Under the agreement, 3M grants a license to US6964828, US7078128, US8241791 and all global equivalents.
For the second year in a row, Rutgers University leads U.S. universities in federal funding for chemistry research and development, according to an article in a leading industry publication. And for the first time, Rutgers ranks tops in the nation for chemistry research and development funding from all sources – including federal, state, industry, foundation and institutional.
A new and efficient method for the removal of uranium and other heavy metals from water has been developed at the University of Eastern Finland. Chemec Ltd., a Finnish chemicals industry company, has purchased the rights in the invention and will introduce the method to the commercial markets. Binding metal ions to a solid material, the CH Collector method can be used within the mining industry, and also in the removal of emissions caused by the chemicals and metals processing industries.
Momentive Performance Materials Inc., the exclusive global licensee of General Electric-branded sealants, recently obtained a patent for the complete, 100 percent silicone Air & Water Barrier (AWB) system by GE. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the system U.S. Patent No. 8,513,328, directed to a novel “Fluid Applied Silicone Air and Water Barrier System and Process Thereof.”
Cabot Corporation today announced the launch of CAB-O-SIL® CLARUS™ 3160 fumed silica, a new hydrophilic product for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) applications. This new fumed silica is designed to improve performance in clear silicone rubber by providing a high level of reinforcement without sacrificing transparency, and with minimal discoloration due to aging.
In many ways, traditional chemical synthesis is similar to cooking. To alter the final product, you can change the ingredients or their ratio, change the method of mixing ingredients, or change the temperature or pressure of the environment of the ingredients. Like an accomplished chef, chemists have become very skilled at the manipulation of these parameters to produce many of the products that make our lives better.
BASF has signed a contract to sell its Vinuran PVC modifier business to Kaneka Belgium N.V., a subsidiary of Kaneka Corporation, Japan.
The Dow Chemical Company today detailed the scope of a separation of a significant portion of its chlorine value chain. These assets are being carved out for future transactions, and represent up to $5 billion of total annual revenue, inclusive of sales on the merchant market and sales to support Dow’s downstream, value-added products. The scope includes approximately 40 manufacturing facilities at 11 sites, and nearly 2,000 employees.
With the help of a new method called "dual-electrode photoelectrochemistry," University of Oregon scientists have provided new insight into how solar water-splitting cells work. An important and overlooked parameter, they report, is the ion-permeability of electrocatalysts used in water-splitting devices.
