Polymerization Catalysis Chemspeed

Methods IMC, Mühlhaupt

Polymerization Catalysis Model: Chemspeed Accelerator
Unit and Room: FMF, fourth floor, R4051
Responsible: Georg Müller
Automated polymerization reactor

Short Description:

Chemspeed is used for parallel synthesis and high-throughput screening of chemical reactions at variable temperatures and pressures. The parallel reactor allows the automated, computer controlled and simultaneous processing of polymer synthesis with various monomers.

Polymerization Catalysis with Chemspeed
 

Available Experiments/Techniques:

variation of relevant parameters (monomer pressure, catalyst concentration, temperature) for catalysis in parallel reaction (high-output screening). This can be to optimize the catalyst system to achieve an optimized product in terms of increasing the activity of the catalyst and the product selectivity.

Special Equipment:

Equipment for up to 10 parallel reactions with pressures up to 10 bar

Measurements on the equipment are currently done by: Students after extensive training
Trained scientific service personal
