Green chemistry

A novel electricity-driven process produces valuable nitriles without the toxic cyanide reagents or high energy demands of conventional manufacturing.

A chemical breakthrough helps vitrimers resist the effects of long-term stress, defying a conventional trade-off between their performance and recyclability.

Researchers developed a new recyclable plastic that could help reduce waste and enable a circular economy by allowing durable materials to be reused.

Researchers identify a high-efficiency approach that can cut greenhouse gas emissions from plastics and fertiliser manufacturing.

Performing chemical reactions inside tiny droplets can help manufacturers develop greener processes for coating drugs

The waste plant materials remaining from palm oil extraction processes can now be converted into a useful sugar
