Chemical Information Sources Wiki
The Chemical Information Sources Wiki is a guide to the many sources of
reference materials available for those with questions related to
chemistry. The material is based on an undergraduate course offered for many years
in the Indiana University Department of Chemistry by Dr. Gary Wiggins.

Succeed at bioprocess scale-up
Chemical Processing's cover story - While fermentation-based syntheses were once reserved for producing high-value specialty chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, bioprocess routes now are gaining increasing attention for commodity products.

Woody plastic
Researchers in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University have created an entirely new composite material based on wood and plastic. The new material is stronger and less expensive to manufacture than other products currently available and represents something of a breakthrough for this "growing" industry. Wood-plastic composites, are commonly used in outdoor domestic settings for outdoor decking and other such implementations. "Composite products made from wood and plastic are highly desirable for their low maintenance and ability to resist rot," explains OSU's Kaichang Li, "But their use has been limited because of high cost and low strength, a result of inadequate adhesion between the wood fibers and plastic. Wood and plastic do not form a natural bond, but Li and his colleagues have created what they call a "compatibilizer," a novel polymer that acts as a bridge between the wood fibers and the main polymer's chains.
New wood-plastic composites to boost industry, help use waste products

EcoScale
Traditionally, the only numeric value to rapidly evaluate the quality of synthetic procedures has been the yield. Similar to the yield, the EcoScale gives a score from 0 to 100, but favours low-cost, safe reaction conditions and an easy purification. In this way, the method is valuable in both education and research as an effective way to compare different sets of preparations of the same product and, at the same time, shows the benefits of green chemistry thinking.
