Each year the world produces about 130 million kilo of ethene, the most important raw material for plastics. This gigantic industry is currently dependent on crude oil. And that is running out.

Determination of the solubility of a blowing agent, i.e. supercritical N₂, in polypropylene (PP) and elastomer material is crucial for achieving high-quality thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) foams in ...

China National Chemical Corporation (ChemChina), one of the leading producers of chemical products in China, said on Monday it has acquired 100 percent of Qenos, Australia's biggest ethylene producer.

Around 140 billion cubic meters of methane, which escapes during global oil production, are flared every year. This is considerably more than the estimated 90 billion cubic meters of natural gas that ...

The reaction is called a polymerisation reaction: close polymerisation To produce a long chain polymer from many small molecules (monomers). ethene is the monomer ...

Graphene adopts exotic electronic states In a platform that may be used to explore avenues for quantum computing, MIT researchers have found that a flake of graphene, when brought in close proximity ...

Polymerisation is the process in which many small monomer units combine to form one large polymer molecule. The alkenes ethene and propene are two important ...
