Applying the Principles of Green Chemistry to Polymer Production Technology

Application of the principles of green chemistry in analytical chemistry*

The introduction of the dimension of green chemistry into the assessment of analytical methods should be a natural development trend in chemistry and should coincide with its general policy. Some of the principles of green chemistry—such as prevention of waste generation; safer solvents and auxiliaries; design for energy efficiency; safer chemistry to minimize the potential of chemical accident...

Green Chemistry: Terminology and Principles

Applying Lean Principles to Production Scheduling

When exploring the Lean issue, literature appears to have countless definitions to describe that individual topic, causing misinterpretations between academics and professionals alike. The mainstream Lean implementation ventures are merely a compilation of tools and methods that are forced down the organisational hierarchy from higher tiers, due to other organisations publicising lean in improv...

Green polymer chemistry: enzyme catalysis for polymer functionalization.

Enzyme catalyzed reactions are green alternative approaches to functionalize polymers compared to conventional methods. This technique is especially advantageous due to the high selectivity, high efficiency, milder reaction conditions, and recyclability of enzymes. Selected reactions can be conducted under solventless conditions without the application of metal catalysts. Hence this process is ...
