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

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

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

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
