Horseradish and ATRP – a Green Combination
Researchers at the University of Basel have identified a peroxidase enzyme from the roots of the common horseradish plant which acts as a novel catalyst in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
Do Exotic Block Copolymer Morphologies Really Exist?
The self-assembly of block polymers raises this question, discussed in the latest Trend Article in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics.
Book Review: Waste Immobilisation in Glass and Ceramic Based Hosts
Dr. Michael Ojovan of NTEC reviews Dr. Ian Donald’s new book on managing nuclear waste with glass and ceramics
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
A Proven Software for the Calculation of Materials Properties
The JMatPro software calculates a wide range of materials properties for metallic alloys. It is particularly aimed at multi-components alloys used in industrial practice.
