Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), also called Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs) or coordination networks, are crystalline materials which can be readily self-assembled from metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands. They display permanent porosity with enormous internal surface area and ... Read more

Chelating agents are organic chemical compounds that can form more than one bond with simple metal ion and boost the stability of the complex ion. They are used to prevent the harmful effect of free metal ions. Common chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and ... Read more

Gas sweetening process, also known as acid gas removal process, is a method of removing hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from gasses in order to get rid of its sour and foul odor. The process is also referred to as amine gas treating method or amine scrubbing method. In this process, various aqueous ... Read more

Abrasive is a material that molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process, which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, and polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). ... Read more

Self-cleaning asphalt is used in surfacing roads that would clean itself and the air around the road. Self-cleaning asphalt is generally used in places that are prone to environmental pollution. Road surface can be infused with asphalt material containing highly effective nanoparticles that can ... Read more

Polymer biomaterials are produced by monomeric units that form larger structures by bonding covalently. Polymer biomaterials play a major role in tissue engineering, wherein they can be introduced into body tissue as part of an implanted medical device or used to replace an organ, bodily ... Read more

Lubricity is the amount of reduction in friction and/or wear by a lubricant. Diesel fuel inherently contains compounds that provide lubricity. However, in countries such as the U.S. and those in the European Union, stringent environmental regulations have been implemented to lower sulfur content ... Read more

Dimethylacetamide Market: Overview

Dimethylacetamide (also known as dimethyl-amide acetate, DMAc, or DMA) is an organic compound with chemical formula C₄H₉NO. It is a clear colorless liquid with faint pungent odor that is similar to ammonia. The ... Read more

Carbon Nanorod (CNR) is a nanostructure that is approximately 10 to 120 nanometers (nm) wide, over a surface area of 30 to 70 meter square grams. It is a filling that is a by-produced of carbon nanotube (CNT). These nanostructures are lightweight materials and it is thus expected to grow in the ... Read more
