Near-IR chemical analysis in an industrial setting

Article Abstract:

Details of implementing near-IR (NIR) spectroscopy is discussed by the Polaroid NIR Implementation Team. NIR spectroscopy for chemical analysis in an industrial setting has been made part of several analytical protocols for getting qualitative/quantitative information on incoming materials. Use of this technology has given several business advantages in support of chemical coating operations at Polaroid Corp. Six Sigma tools of Motorola were used to efficiently develop assay methods and ensure quality measurements to meet product control. Adopting a new analytical technique can create savings in time and money if planned carefully, implemented systematically and if results are monitored on a regular basis.

Nanostructured chemicals: a new era in chemical technology

Article Abstract:

Nanostructured chemicals are likely to be used in the plastics industry, and in cars, medical devices, computers and sports equipment according to staff members of Hybrid Plastics, Fountain Valley, Calif. The first significant applications of nanotechnology will likely come through chemistry. Nanostructured chemicals are the only entirely new chemical feedstock technology to be developed in the last 50 years. The four defining features of nanostructured chemicals are listed. Deca- and pentacarboranes, nanocomposite plastics, and POSS nanostructured chemicals with polymers are discussed.
