Free Chemistry World webinar: Characterization of polymer blends by ion mobility mass spectrometry

Chemistry World webinarsChemistry World and Waters are pleased to announce a new webinar:

Characterization of polymer blends by ion mobility mass spectrometry

Tuesday 24th September 2013
3pm BST / 10am EDT

The coupling of atmospheric solid analysis probe with ion mobility-mass spectrometry is an efficient tool for the characterization of polymers and additives.  

Join Professor Carlos Afonso from the University of Rouen, and Chemistry World editor Bibiana Campos-Seijo, for this new webinar and learn more about the use of this approach for the characterization of polymer blends involving biodegradable polymers.

Connecting the world with the chemical sciences

Here at the RSC, one of our most important objectives is to foster and encourage the growth and application of (chemical) science by the dissemination of chemical knowledge.

That’s why we’re delighted to be involved in Research4Life, which helps us disseminate our high quality journal articles to researchers in developing countries.

Research4Life is the collective name given to a series of public-private partnerships that offer health, agriculture and environmental research for free or at low cost to developing countries.

Around 6000 institutions are registered for access to publications through Research4Life. Partly thanks to this improved access, scientific research output from developing countries has increased dramatically in recent years.

That’s great news, not just for those developing countries but for the entire science community.

Chemistry – it makes a world of difference.

Apps with real impact

Some apps have real impact, we’ve just sponsored two such apps.

Green Solvents and Lab Solvents are innovative apps for the iOS and Android platforms that list solvents and their scores versus various environmentally relevant properties. They are based on published data that had not been widely disseminated in conveniently available media. The apps are freely available and were developed by Dr. Alex M. Clark at Molecular Materials Informatics (MMI, Montreal, Canada) after an initial idea from Dr. Sean Ekins at Collaborations in Chemistry (CIC, Fuquay Varina, USA).

“These apps are first class examples of how green chemistry data can be delivered to a mobile device and complement other apps such as ChemSpider Mobile, which we have developed with Alex.” said Antony J. Williams, VP Strategic Development for the RSC. “We are honoured to support such efforts that raise awareness of green chemistry and educate the public and serve a need for scientists in the lab”.

“It is really wonderful validation of these apps that an organisation such as the RSC would sponsor Green Solvents and Lab Solvents and this will help to further raise their visibility to scientists globally” said Alex Clark, owner of Molecular Materials Informatics.

Find out more and download the apps today: Green Solvents and Lab Solvents

Royal Society of Chemistry to publish The Merck Index

The Merck IndexThe famous “bible” of chemistry, The Merck Index, is to join the highly acclaimed publishing portfolio of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The Merck Index has been considered the standard chemistry reference work for generations of professionals and has sold over one million copies worldwide. From April 2013, the Royal Society of Chemistry will take over its publication and launch the 15th edition.

Dr James Milne, RSC Executive Director, publishing, said: “The Merck Index is a quality product with a peerless pedigree but, being familiar to the scientific community worldwide, it is also emblematic of our organisation’s rapidly-expanding international presence and influence. We know The Merck Index will be a valuable addition to the products and services the RSC offers its customers. Now we are looking forward eagerly to developing The Merck Index for the digital future.”

The RSC already plans significant development of The Merck Index online – beginning with offering all buyers of the 15th edition one year’s free access to a newly-developed online version. The RSC will continue to develop The Merck Index to provide a valuable, trusted and relevant resource for scientists and researchers.

To find out more about the 15th edition of The Merck Index visit the website and register your interest to receive further updates.

*The name THE MERCK INDEX is owned by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J., U.S.A., and is licensed to The Royal Society of Chemistry for use in the U.S.A. and Canada.
