  • Hybrid Technology

    Multifunctional Hybrid Foams

    Press release Jul 22, 2012 

    The foamed aluminium particles (APM) are encapsulated with polymer foam.

    New Applications: Today, foamed materials are crucial to many everyday products. Innovative hybrid foam solutions open up possibilities for significantly increasing the applications scope of this class of materials.

  • At the ACHEMA trade fair, held June 18-22 in Frankfurt, researchers will demonstrate microreactors they use for a very broad range of chemical processes (Hall 9.2, stand D64).

    Microreactors to produce explosive materials

    Press release May 24, 2012 

    Microreactors

    The larger the reaction vessel, the quicker products can be made – or so you might think. Microreactors show just how wrong that assumption is: in fact, they can be used to produce explosive materials – nitroglycerine, for instance – around ten times faster than in conventional vessels, and much more safely as well.
