This week, Paul Hunt, Research Team Leader at our Rawcliffe Bridge manufacturing site, is giving a talk on the challenges and opportunities surrounding sustainable polymers in the industrial sector at the IUPAC Macro 2024: 50th World Polymer Conference, held at The University of Warwick. Polymers in Liquid Formulations (PLFs) are a broad group of polymers used as rheology modifiers, emulsifiers, and binders in many everyday items, including household detergents, cosmetics, and agrochemicals. During the presentation, Paul will discuss the approaches Croda is taking in the development of commercially viable, novel biobased, and biodegradable polymers, which may serve as alternatives to traditional PLFs such as polyacrylates. The presentation will also address questions regarding performance characterisation. Find out more about the conference here: https://ow.ly/rIUw50SttuF

We'd like to congratulate one of our talented Graduate Trainees, Lucy Jones, after being shortlisted for the prestigious Chemical Industries Association (CIA) Awards, 2024! Lucy was nominated for the CIA's Young Ambassador Award by her manager, Chloé Martin, Research Team Leader, who said: “By joining the Research and Development team at Incotec for a one-year mission, Lucy has chosen a challenging path. In an agricultural world where chemistry is often seen in a negative light, Lucy is successfully proving that its use can lead to sustainable solutions. “In addition, as a woman in science and her leading role in Croda’s Gender Equality Group, she is protecting and encouraging equal access to the industry.
