Online course on Powder Technology coming soon, in conjunction with Britest! This short, on-line course aims to give scientists and technologists a practical appreciation of the real-world problems to be addressed and the underlying principles that need to be understood to handle powders and other particulate materials successfully during chemical and physical processing.

I hope you already know @3blue1brown from YouTube. So here is who I believe is the 3blue1brown of chemistry: https://lnkd.in/dvUFz7gv

Purdue University School of Materials Engineering has been cleaning up around the lab now that it's summer. Cleaning is actually pretty complex, and wouldn't it be nice to have less single use packaging for cleaning solutions? For this #FreepaperFriday I think Prof. Kendra Erk, along with her team of students and post-docs Parth Kelkar, Matthew Kaboolian, Ria Corder, and her industry partners at P&G Marco Caggioni and Seth Lindberg look in detail about how concentrated surfactant solutions respond to mixing and flow using a combination of materials characterization techniques. https://lnkd.in/ga9cfuzc

We published a brief analysis of the decisions in the literature when people calculate carbonyl index to measure degradation. Check it out this work and let me know if there is anything else you would like to know about polymer degradation. https://lnkd.in/dJNbpsuE

Are you interested in our Asia Flow Chemistry System, but are not sure how it can help your workflow? Check out this video that details the benefits of this system for different applications: https://ow.ly/oKme50SqK7e #FlowChemistry

Some friends ask why our chain extenders are more reactive? “Structure Determines Properties” is a powerful concept in chemistry. Our reactive groups are on the side chains of our chain extender. Compared with the reactive groups on the main chain, our steric hindrance is smaller and there is a greater chance of interacting with the corresponding groups of the polymer, that to be compounded.

I'm very pleased to share my first paper in Inorganic Chemistry! The paper describes a simple synthetic strategy to unsymmetrical BPI ligands/complexes and their structural/electrochemical/luminescent properties.

Nice feature of "Frosty Formulations" on AIChE - American Institute of Chemical Engineers' blog! We greatly appreciate AIChE being an early endorser of the Chemistry Shorts series. https://lnkd.in/eHX6zdxj

How does it actually work!? How can adding a small amount of polymer get sludge to shed all the water? Well, it’s not magic, it’s just science 😊 This demo shows exactly what happens when the right amount of polymer is added to a batch of sludge. And if you want to see it for yourself, visit us at IFAT on May 13 – 17. We’ll be doing live demos every day! If you’re into the full explainer, here comes the nerdy stuff: Polymer is an oil-based product, and originally it was just a waste product from the nylon industry. By coincidence someone discovered that something strange happened when the wastewater was led into the nearby stream. (That’s what they did back then. Today we purify our wastewater!) The particles in the stream flocculated and assembled in lumps. But why? Well, polymer is a complex chemical substance consisting of long molecules with the ability to make chemical bonds with both polar and nonpolar substances. When added into a substance of water and particles the polymer attracts both the polar charged and nonpolar charged particles and breaks their chemical bond with the water – thus making them flocculate and assemble in lumps. And then you just need to strain the water 😊 BTW: Polymer isn’t just polymer. It comes in a huge number of varieties, optimized to do its job on specific solutions. If you want to know which polymer to use for a specific task, we’re just a phone call away.

Researchers use Asia Flow Chemistry systems because they achieve higher yields and purities in their chemical reactions. Faster reaction optimization, enhanced selectivity, and seamless process integration are synonymous with Asia. Learn more in our latest blog post: https://bit.ly/3XDLilj
