Rohm和Haas公司自国家标准技术学院获得2百万美元高级技术课程奖,用于开发新技术,用于创建高性能丙烯聚合物和共聚物独家
Rohm and Haas will embark on a three-year effort, called Project Columbus, to develop a new platform for catalytic polymerizations. If successful, this research will complete a missing link that can enable production of special acrylic polymers that offer novel performance benefits. Catalysts are substances used in minute amounts to initiate, accelerate, or control chemical reactions that would otherwise be too slow or inefficient to be economical. In partnership with the NIST Advanced Technology Program (ATP), Rohm and Haas scientists will join with researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena to design and synthesize brand new catalysts."We expect the new catalysts to deliver unprecedented performance—for the first time, we'll be able to control the molecular architecture of acrylic polymers and combine the best features of acrylics with those of polyolefins," said Dr.Brian Goodall, Rohm and Haas chief scientist for catalysis. "We'll actually have the ability to control the placement of polar groups common in acrylics (the cluster of atoms that impart performance characteristics) and ultimately influence crucial performance properties, like toughness, adhesion, and surface behavior."If successful, Project Columbus would generate not only new catalysts, but new polymers and product lines with economic, social, and environmental benefits. New "designer polymers" could lead to special applications in architectural and automotive coatings, potentially reducing the use and emissions of volatile organic compounds that currently are used for stability and flow. Other applications that might benefit from new acrylic polymers include ink jet inks, paper coatings, adhesives, and microelectronics, to name a few.
