February 25, 2021 LONDON — February 25, 2021 — Polymateria, who in 2020 became the first company to evidence full biodegradation of plastic in the open environment*, has today open-sourced data showing that its Biotransformation technology is recyclable as well as biodegradable. Heralding a step forward in the shift to a more circular economy, polyethylene filmcontaining Polymateria’s Biotransformation technology has been shown to meet accepted industry protocol for recyclability through independent testing. Polymateria’s technology demonstrates that the vision of a truly circular eco...

Print AKRON—University of Akron professor Sadhan Jana has been admitted as a Fellow to the Royal Society of Chemistry, the United Kingdom organization said recently. Jana is a Benjamin Franklin Goodrich Endowed Chair and Professor in UA's School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering. RSC members are eligible to become a fellow if they have been in a senior position for more than five years and their efforts "have made an impact in any field of the chemical sciences." "This is a happy moment for me," Jana said in a statement. "Every chemical sciences researcher aspires to receive the r...

February 16, 2021 Heather Maynard, professor of chemistry and the Dr. Myung Ki Hong Professor of Polymer Science, has been named an associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The weekly journal of the American Chemical Society, it publishes approximately 19,000 pages of articles, communications and perspectives a year. Maynard is a worldwide leader in the area of protein-polymer conjugates, which are important therapeutics for a variety of diseases. She develops new synthetic methods to make the materials, invents new polymers to improve properties such as stability and...

The following questions were answered by Raman Application Scientist, Thibault Brulé, of Q: In slide 21, you spoke about a smart sampling algorithm. Can you get really high-quality Raman images in a short amount of time from it? TB: We have a new tool that will be very useful for fast mapping in Raman. In this case, based on a video contrast image, the software will automatically recognize and focus on the different features of interest in the mapping area. So very quickly, in just two minutes, you will have your first idea of the image, giving you an idea of the distribution of the differe...
