The Critical Materials Institute, a U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Hub, has created a new chemical process that makes use of the widely available rare-earth metal cerium to improve the ...

In T-shirts, stockings, shirts, and ropes—or as a component of parachutes and car tires—polyamides are used everywhere as synthetic fibers. At the end of the 1930s, the name Nylon was coined for such ...

Nylon is one of the world’s most widely used synthetic materials, but producing it ...

A team of researchers at NYU have presented a new chemical reactor type that synthesizes a precursor for nylon production through electrosynthesis, rather than a thermal based reaction. The need for ...

AdvanSix is pushing the boundary of sustainability for polyamide, commonly known as nylon. The Parsippany, NJ, has developed nylon products made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. The ...

Nylon can be found everywhere in modern life, from the clothes we wear to the seatbelts in our cars. The problem is that producing it can be a dirty business, but researchers say a new method can make ...

A team reported that in its search to develop an innovative, environmentally friendly process to make adiponitrile (ADN) -- the main precursor to nylon 6, 6 -- it found a way to greatly improve the ...

Invista is expanding its nylon production capacity in China and the U.S. On Wednesday, Invista and the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP) signed memorandum of cooperation to construct an ...

Growing market demand for nylon 6,6 resin is the driver behind plans by Ascend Performance Materials (Houston, TX) to increase production capacity across its intermediate chemicals and polymers ...

BROOKLYN, New York, Monday, August 26, 2019 - The chemical and allied industries face such challenges as ready access to reliable energy supplies, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy ...
