Polymer Industry Applications - Materials Science and Plastics Research Automation

Accelerating your existing workflow

Polymer R&D faces challenges such as the need for highly innovative, better polymers with superior performance, reducing cost, coping with bans on additives.
High reproducibility, sustainable knowledge preservation and up-/ downscaling sensitivity are key factors during these tasks.

Chemspeed provides high throughput and high output solutions which accelerate, standardize, digitize your R&D without compromise in areas such as:

  • Pressure polymerization (e.g. olefins, alkylene oxides)
  • Solution polymerization (e.g. acrylics)
  • Controlled / living solution polymerization (e.g. NMP, RAFT, ATRP)
  • Mass polymerization (e.g. carbonates)
  • Graft polymerization (e.g. modified PEG)
  • Dispersion polymerization (e.g. aqueous polyurethanes)
  • Emulsion polymerization (e.g. nanolatexes, styrenes)


Highly innovative technologies allow mimicking virtually any polymerization process in a fully automated way. This saves precious time and increases output and quality of your lab dramatically, by using concepts designed for chemists by chemists.
