Aventium intends to build a plant to produce 100 % renewable and fully recyclable polymers in Northwestern Europe

Planning a Bio-Based Plastics Plant

New Type of Scorpionate Ligand
Phosphine-functionalized tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligands

DNA Barcodes Help to Screen Drug Candidates
Diverse collection of macrocycles attached to DNA barcodes synthesized to find lead structures that inhibit disease-relevant proteins

Upcycling Plastics into Metal–Organic Frameworks
One-pot depolymerisation of polylactic acid

Enantioselective Recognition of Amino Acids
First example for the enantioselective fluorescent recognition of amino acids in the fluorous phase

Improved Synthesis of Hindered Ethers
Electrochemical oxidation creates carbocations which can be used to make difficult-to-access ethers

Rare Possibility to Fight Cancer Investigated
Iridium-Aspirin conjugates target both mitochondria and the immune system to combat cancer

Stable Boron Emitters for OLEDs
Molecular stabilization gives high-performance optoelectronic devices

First Polyurethane Wind Blades
Covestro developed alternative to well-established epoxy-based composites

Bioresorbable Electrode for Brain Monitoring
Flexible device degrades completely in about 100 days and could help to avoid surgeries
