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 Technologies, 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. WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE for: • Design of experiments • Data management • Modeling • Integration of catalyst and polymer analytics such as particle For more information or a detailed presentation, please contact Dr. Michael Schneider, Sr VP Business Development (e-mail or call +41 61 8169500).

Complementary and Spatially Resolved Operando Spectroscopic Investigation of Pt/Al₂O₃ and Pt/CeO₂ Catalysts during CO/NO Conversion

The composition of reaction mixtures strongly influences the structural evolution and performance of noble metal-based catalysts. In this work, we compared the effect of the simultaneous presence of CO and NO on the noble metal state and CO oxidation activity of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2 catalysts under close-to-stoichiometric conditions using complementary in situ/operando X-ray and infrared spectroscopic techniques.

Influence of the CeO₂ Morphology and Initial Pd–Pt Interaction Degree on Catalyst Activity and Stability

Due to its peculiar properties and strong interaction with noble metals, ceria is widely used as a catalyst support for numerous applications. In this work, morphologically pure and highly crystalline ceria nanocubes and nanorods were prepared to systematically investigate both the impact of the support morphology and Pd–Pt interaction degree on the noble metal-support interplay during CO oxidation.

High-throughput RAFT Polymerization via Automated Batch, Increment, and Continuous Flow Platforms

We report an automated strategy to conduct RAFT copolymerizations using a Chemspeed robotic platform capable of executing batch, incremental, and continuous monomer addition workflows under inert conditions. Copolymerizations of oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate with benzyl acrylate (as a control) and fluorescein o-acrylate were conducted in toluene, THF, and DMF, with reaction progress monitored via ¹H NMR spectroscopy at defined intervals.
