From Commodity to Specialty Chemicals: Cellulose Products and Naval Stores at the Hercules Powder Company, 1919-1939
Consider the following "snapshots" in the life of the Hercules Powder Co. of Wilmington, Delaware: In 1919 Hercules' total sales were $20.5 million. More than 99 percent of these revenues came from a single line of business: commercial explosives, including gunpowder, smokeless powder, blasting powder, and, especially, dynamite. These products were sold to mine and quarry operators, constructio...
متن کاملElastic Nonwoven Fabrics from Polyolefin Elastomers
VistamaxxTM Specialty Elastomers are polyolefin elastomers with isotactic propylene crystallinity. These polymers contain a predominant (>80%) amount of propylene with isotactic propylene crystallinity, with the balance of the composition being ethylene and other αolefins. This new family of thermoplastic elastomers are highly elastic and exhibit excellent recovery from deformation. These polym...
متن کاملFrom Commodity Polymers to Functional Polymers
Functional polymers bear specified chemical groups, and have specified physical, chemical, biological, pharmacological, or other uses. To adjust the properties while keeping material usage low, a method for direct synthesis of functional polymers is indispensable. Here we show that various functional polymers can be synthesized by in situ cross-linked polymerization/copolymerization. We demonst...
متن کاملSpecialty chemicals from microbes
Synthesis gas, that consists largely of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, has been used in a process to make the commodity chemical, 2-hydroxybutyric acid. This news report discusses a proposal to alter regulations of materials and products involved in using synthetic biology to make chemicals. Genetic engineering can be complex and time consuming. This research paper describes an a...
متن کاملPolyolefin-Clay Nanocomposites from Olefin Polymerization between Clay Layers
This mini-review article addresses the development in synthesizing polyolefin/clay nanocomposites by olefin polymerization under catalysis of clay intercalated precatalysts in recent years. The review comprises three parts which focus on mainly the synthetic route, structural characterization, and properties of polyolefin/clay nanocomposites, respectively. Moreover, outlook for future research ...
