Dublin, Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Catalyst Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Raw Material (Chemical Compounds, Zeolites, Metals), by Product (Heterogeneous, Homogeneous), by ...

Polyolefin elastomers (or POEs) are a relatively new class of polymers that emerged with recent advances in metallocene polymerization catalysts. Representing one of the fastest-growing synthetic ...

A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

On Dec. 23, 2014, this story was updated to correctly note that poly(propylene succinate) is the first example of a epoxide-anhydride copolymer stereocomplex, rather ...

Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

This is the claim of chemical engineers, who believe the new catalyst could be deployed at sites of methane production, including power plants and cattle sheds. “What to do with methane has been a ...

Chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers. This research was published in Nature Catalysis, offering ...

Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris known as microplastics persist in soil, water and air and threaten ecosystems ...

It is hard to imagine everyday life without materials made of synthetic polymers. Clothes, car parts, computers or packaging – they all consist of polymer materials. Lots of polymers are present in ...
