This trade fair, held in Nüremberg from November 13-15, is an opportunity for Arkema, a global leader in returnable glass container coating technology, to communicate with the beer filling industry on its know-how i...
Limiting the quantity of catalysts – substances that trigger a chemical reaction – used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals is important, and research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has now demonstrated that small quantities of copper work well in this respect.
BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, today inaugurated its first BASF Innovation Campus Asia Pacific and its new Greater China headquarters. The € 55 million expansion of BASF’s site in Pudong, Shanghai, where the new facilities are located, marks the company’s most important innovation investment in the region to date. Ultimately employing more than 2,500 employees, the site will be one of BASF’s largest outside of Germany.
BASF is investing approximately €90 million in the first step to build a mobile emissions catalysts production facility in Œroda Œl¹ska, a Special Economic Zone near Wroc³aw, Poland. Construction of the new 40,000 square meter facility – BASF’s largest in Europe – will begin before the end of 2012.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have found through spectroscopic investigations on a hydrogen-producing enzyme that the environment of the catalytic site acts as an electron reservoir in the enzyme. Thus, it can very efficiently produce hydrogen, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. The research team describes their results in the journal "Angewandte Chemie".
Better control over the delivery of drugs to specific sites in the body at specific times would reduce unwanted side effects and improve medical treatment dramatically. ‘Smart’ polymers are promising materials for controlling drug delivery, since they change their properties in response to specific stimuli.
Asynt Ltd. in conjunction with Innovative Physical Organic Solutions (IPOS), a research group based within the University of Huddersfield, UK, have cooperated over the last 2 years to develop a new generation of chemical reactor.
Today is the day of the Grand Opening of Chemetall's new cutting-edge facility in Blackman Township, Michigan. Chemetall, a Rockwood Holdings, Inc. company, is an innovator in surface treatment and metal processing technologies. The $25 million chemical manufacturing plant covers 200,000 square feet to house administrative, manufacturing, warehousing operations, and a physical testing laboratory. As Rockwood Chairman and CEO Seifi Ghasemi said in a recent press release, the investment "reflects our confidence in the future growth of the US economy."
The first international “Science Award Electrochemistry” from BASF and Volkswagen goes to Dr. Naoaki Yabuuchi, Tokyo University of Science, Institute for Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan. The jury of experts from BASF, Volkswagen and representatives from the world of science selected Yabuuchi for the outstanding results of his research on different battery technologies. Yabuuchi showed among other things how new battery materials can improve the efficiency of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries – a fundamentally new battery concept, which is currently a focus of research.
