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 ...

Growing market demand for nylon 6,6 resin is the driver behind plans by Ascend Performance Materials (Houston, TX) to increase production capacity across its intermediate chemicals and polymers ...

Several biobased chemical makers plan to scale up production of nylon precursors made via fermentation. They are responding to demand from consumer product companies that want to reduce greenhouse gas ...

Use of (not-so)-rare earth metals in large-scale manufacturing applications is expected to economize critical rare earth excavations. Just to be clear, not all rare earth metals are necessarily rare ...
