Short Description: The APS-System is used for parallel synthesis and high-throughput screening of Catalyst particles. The influence of relevant parameters (temperatures, pressures, catalyst system or monomer pressure) can be controlled. The parallel reactor allows the automated, computer controlled and simultaneous processing of polymer synthesis with various monomers.		Picture of the Equipment
Available Experiments/Techniques: Equipment for the polymerization with supported catalysts to polymerize under various condition with different polymerization parameters.
Special Equipment: Equipment for supported catalyst reactions with pressures up to 10 bar
Measurements on the equipment are currently done by:		Students after extensive training Trained scientific service personal
