BROOKLYN, New York, Monday, August 26, 2019 - The chemical and allied industries face such challenges as ready access to reliable energy supplies, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy ...

A team of researchers at NYU have presented a new chemical reactor type that synthesizes a precursor for nylon production through electrosynthesis, rather than a thermal based reaction. The need for ...

The chemical and allied industries face such challenges as ready access to reliable energy supplies, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy efficiency. Organic electrosynthesis - an ...

In T-shirts, stockings, shirts, and ropes – or as a component of parachutes and car tyres – polyamides are used everywhere as synthetic fibres. At the end of the 1930s, the name Nylon was coined for ...

A team of researchers is working to upend energy-intensive, fossil fuel-dependent chemical manufacturing processes and replace them with sustainable, solar-driven reactions that rely on renewable ...

Long-time collaborators Aquafil Holding SpA, based in Italy, and California biotechnology company Genomatica (Geno) have successfully completed the first demonstration scale production runs for ...

A team reported that in its search to develop an innovative, environmentally friendly process to make adiponitrile (ADN) -- the main precursor to nylon 6, 6 -- it found a way to greatly improve the ...
