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 ...

Nylon manufacture could be revolutionised by the discovery that bacteria can make a key chemical involved in the process, without emitting harmful greenhouse gases. Scientists have developed a ...

Geno’s plant-based nylon-6 threatens synthetics on the industrial scale while AeoniQ by Pangaia Lab is made purely from the next-gen cellulosic yarn.

The biobased chemical pioneer Genomatica has produced 1 metric ton of a chemical intermediate used to make the nylon 6 precursor caprolactam, via sugar fermentation. The effort is part of a ...

Nycoa has launched a third reactor in Manchester, N.H., doubling its capacity for long-chain nylons and copolymers while ...

(MENAFN- IMARC Group) Nylon (Polyamide, PA) is a versatile synthetic polymer known for its strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. It is widely used in textiles, automotive ...

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 ...

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 ...
