For the past 20 years, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have commonly been considered the carriers of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) features. This hypothesis assumes that the UIE ...

Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...

How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

While many chemistries have been developed to incite C–H bonds to react, certain types of aliphatics stubbornly resist such transformations. Now, chemists at Princeton University and Merck & Co. have ...

The bromine number is a key parameter when it comes to determining aliphatic C=C double bonds in petroleum products. The determination of the bromine number is typically carried out with ...

Behind the Dubai Fountain project is DELTA Coatings International’s broader track record as a specialist coating system house ...

Polyimide materials, as Kapton®, are widely used for flexible electronics substrates or as insulators, thanks to their wide range of thermal stability as well as excellent dielectric and mechanical ...

Sara Greco, R&D Chemist at Valsynthese, part of the SSE Group, covers the beneficial properties of polyimide materials and the key role that aliphatic anhydrides play in the enhancement of those ...
