Accelerated and Standardized Polyolefin and Rubber Catalyst Synthesis, Reformatting, Screening, Optimization, Analysis

November 10, 2013

Chemspeed presents its entire, enabling polyolefin and rubber R+D suite at the “International Conference on the Reaction Engineering of Polyolefins, INCOREP” in Ferrara and “Asian Polyolefin Workshop, APO” in Beijing Chemspeed, the leading provider of high-throughput and high-output research solutions, has changed the way polyolefins and rubbers are developed. The entire suite has raised a lot of interest at the recent “International Conference on the Reaction Engineering of Polyolefins” in Ferrara and “Asian Polyolefin Workshop” in Beijing. Chemspeed’s comprehensive polyolefin and rubber master workflow enables innovation and drives speed, quality as well as scientific systematics in an unprecedented way at each step in the development process – from catalyst synthesis via screening, optimization, scale-up to analysis and data management. The productivity gain ranges from 10 – 50+ times more per day. Chemspeed’s enabling polyolefin and rubber R+D suite comprises the following proven modules: ISYNTH and AUTOPLANT POSYCAT for • Donor synthesis • Ligand synthesis • Organometallic (metallocence, post-metallocene) catalyst synthesis • Supported single-site catalyst synthesis • Ziegler-Natta catalyst synthesis Combining Chemspeed’s proprietary overhead gravimetric dispensing of e.g. solids from submilligrams to grams and hermetically enclosed handling (no pipeting) of halogenated reagents (e.g. TiCl4) with Chemspeed’s fully automated, unique 2nd generation array synthesis reactors (ISYNTH, 8/20/100 ml array formats) and 3rd generation process reactors (AUTOPLANT, 100/250/1’000 ml), integrated in custom MBraun glove-box. SWING SMOLEFIN for catalysts and any other reagents • Filling, reformatting in discrete quantities • Inert sealing • Hermetically closed storing in chemically inert, ready-to-apply globally standardized formats Chemspeed proprietary, paradigm shifting technology, propelling a step-change in innovation AND quality, integrated in custom MBraun glove-box. ISYNTH and AUTOPLANT POSY for polyolefin and rubber synthesis • Screening • Optimization/development • Scale-up Combining Chemspeed’s proprietary overhead gravimetric dispensing of e.g. solids from submilligrams to grams with Chemspeed’s fully automated, unique 2nd generation pressure array screening reactors (ISYNTH, 1/2/8/20 ml array formats) and 3rd generation process reactors (AUTOPLANT, 100/250/1’000 ml), integrated in custom MBraun glove-box.

High-throughput solid microsampling through stochastic robotic automation

Solid sampling at the sub-milligram and milligram scale remains a major bottleneck for high-throughput chemistry or material sciences, as existing approaches rely on manual handling or slow deterministic microsampling that do not readily scale.

Here we present STORMS, an automated STOchastic Robotic MicroSampling system that enables fast, reliable and parallel sampling of solid materials at sub-milligram and milligram masses.

Parameter efficient multi-model vision assistant for polymer solvation behaviour inference

Polymer–solvent systems exhibit complex solvation behaviours encompassing a diverse range of phenomena, including swelling, gelation, and dispersion. Accurate interpretation is often hindered by subjectivity, particularly in manual rapid screening assessments. While computer vision models hold significant promise to replace the reliance on human evaluation for inference, their adoption is limited by the lack of domain-specific datasets tailored, in our case, to polymer–solvent systems.

Continuous Flow Synthesis of Diglycolamides for Rare-Earth Elements Recovery: Algorithm-Accelerated Reaction Optimization Coupled with Automated Extraction Evaluation

A first example of diglycolamide flow synthesis was developed, showcasing algorithm-accelerated reaction optimization and its potential to accelerate ligand discovery and enable autonomous, AIcontrolled manufacturing of critical materials. The increasing demand for manufacturing rare-earth elements (REEs) as critical materials has intensified research on sustainable synthesis of advanced extractants such as diglycolamides (DGAs).
