Institute of Biomaterial Science and Center for Regenerative Therapies (Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht) reports on High-Throughput Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer Libraries with Chemspeed’s Fully Automated SYNTHESIZER

August 4, 2014

Diffuse reflectance FTIR (DRIFT) was established as a high throughput characterization method for classic copolymer systems. Four different methyl methacrylate-based polymer libraries with styrene, N-vinylpyrrolidone, 4-vinylpyridine, or 2-carboxyethyl acrylate as comonomers were synthesized using an automated/robotic synthesizer platform, and analyzed by ¹H NMR and DRIFT. By multivariate data analysis both data sets were compared and correlations with R² between 0.9373 and 0.9971 could be achieved. By this means high throughput screening of comonomer contents of these polymer libraries was enabled.

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.
