Nanoscience can arrange minute molecular entities into nanoscale patterns thanks to self-organisation. A team of scientists at the Technical University of Munich has supplied a simple rod-shaped building block with hydroxamic acid at both ends. The resulting complex molecular networks show exceptional material properties.

The Bodo Möller Chemie Group, industry provider of speciality chemicals and complete solutions, is collaborating with the American e-mobility start-up Canoo on the development of a new electric van scheduled to come on the market in 2021.

A new system now allows high-module fibres to be coated with thermosets and thermoplastics in a short period of time. This means that tests can be carried out with different materials within a day.
