Production of Zinc Oxide nanorods and nano-platelets

The Challenge / Concern: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is promising semiconductor material. Nanoscaled ZnO with varying but specific morphology was needed to be synthesized. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution A relatively low temperature controllable chemical bath deposition protocol was developed by the speculated growth mechanism of metal oxides. Synthesis of one dimensional ZnO nanorods and two dimensional …

Catalyst by vapor impregnation having selectivity towards alcohol from alkanes

The Challenge / Concern: Alkanes typically get oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. A client desired to directly convert light alkanes into alcohols through catalysis. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Oxidation of alkanes to yield alcohols with higher selectivity is explored recently. Titanosilicalite TS-1 catalyses oxidation of light alkanes (including n-butane) and to give the corresponding …

Monomer content reduction in finished polymer

The Challenge/Concern Typical polymerization (especially free radical) reaction rarely achieve the completion, leading to the presence of unreacted residual monomer in the polymer. Besides affecting polymer properties, residual monomers are also often toxic and affect compatibility. A process for production of four different polymers having very low levels of residual monomers was desired. Brief (and …
