DÜSSELDORF, Germany & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Asahi Kasei has developed a novel membrane system for dehydrating organic solvents for pharmaceutical applications without the application of heat or ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate ...

Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

The study of solubility and thermodynamic properties of organic solvents underpins many industrial and scientific applications, from pharmaceutical formulation to waste valorisation and materials ...

Researchers from Korea propose a three-stage process for the synthesis of nanosized vaterite that avoids the use of toxic organic solvents and produces 683-nm-sized vaterite particles with 100% ...

Dissolving polymers with organic solvents is the essential process in the research and development of polymeric materials, including polymer synthesis, refining, painting, and coating. Now more than ...

Organic chemist Bruce Lipshutz had a bit of a rude awakening. It was around 2007, and the head of environmental health and safety (EH&S) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sat Lipshutz ...

A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids.
