Founder's Lecture will Recognise the Success of Colloid Chemist
Professor Terence Cosgrove, University of Bristol, UK, will deliver the Founder's Lecture 'Chains and Bondage' at the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Headquarters, London on 21 April 2004. The Founder's Lecture is awarded to figures of distinction in the colloid or surface chemistry fields. A Professor of Physical Chemistry, Terence Cosgrove is... view more... (2004-04-19)
Structuring polymers by laser
Microstructured polymer components are often used to direct light in optical devices. As an alternative to mechanical processes, laser light can also be used to produce the microscopic relief structures, and even to remove them without contact. With a flash of blue-green light, the show begins. Like a line of silent ballet dancers, long-chain... view more... (2004-05-14)
Advance by chemists may lead to better displays on laptop computers, cell phones
UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers. view more (2007-09-18)
Nanotech Clay Armour Creates Fire Resistant Hard Wearing Latex Emulsion Paints
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Department of Chemistry have found a way of replacing the soap used to stabilize latex emulsion paints with nanotech sized clay armour that can create a much more hard wearing and fire resistant paint. view more (2007-07-27)
By Adding Graphene, Researchers Create Superior Polymer
Researchers at Northwestern University and Princeton University have created a new kind of polymer that, because of its extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties, could be used in everything from airplanes to solar cells. view more (2008-05-20)
Chemical engineers help develop ways to recycle waste plastic
Project supervisor Dr Don Glass explained: "Waste plastic, particularly packaging, is one of the curses of the industrial age. Ill-managed landfill sites are surrounded by large areas in which unsightly wind-blown polymer film is festooned on trees and fences." He added that current EU regulations mean 15% of waste plastic must be recycled, but... view more... (2000-01-20)
Groundbreaking polymer guitars close in on market
British inventors are showcasing a range of innovative, high quality acoustic and electric guitars made almost entirely from polymers. The three models, a hybrid wood / polymer acoustic, an all polymer acoustic and a semi-hollow electric, feature patented foamed polymer technology that gives outstanding sound quality. view more (2005-05-06)
UW paper in Science shows how some solids mimic liquids on nanoscale

Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. view more (2005-09-01)
Graffiti-free historic buildings
Many a historic landmark is defaced with graffiti, but the spray paint can only be removed - if at all - using caustic solutions which risk damaging the underlying surface. A new breathable coating provides efficient, all-round protection against attacks by taggers. view more (2009-09-11)
Researchers help sort out the carbon nanotube problem
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and university researchers report a significant step toward sorting out the nanotube "problem"-the challenge of overcoming processing obstacles so that the remarkable properties of the tiny cylindrical structures can be exploited in new polymer composite materials of exceptional... view more...
