Hessel and Lowe provide examples of hybrid, i.e. multi-scale, approaches, including the first commercial systems (see Section 1.1.7) [9, 10]. Such approaches are currently most often favored for micro-reactor construction, simply for practical time and cost reasons. In addition, such an approach allows one to fit micro reactors in existing industrial and academic environments for production and measurement. The micro reactor is only used where it is really needed, and in this way costs of changing the processing are kept to a minimum. 

The Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction has gained great interest in the last decade in both academic and industrial environments. In the work presented herein, we discuss a very interesting effect in the competitive reaction of two amines (benzophenone hydrazone and n-hexylamine) with 3-bromobenzotrifluoride.

This book provides an insight into the chemistry of colour. It is aimed primarily at students or graduates who have a knowledge of the principles of chemistry, to provide an illustration of how these principles are applied in producing the range of colours which are all around us. In addition, it is anticipated that readers who are specialists in colour science, or have some involvement in an industrial or academic environment with the diverse range of coloured materials, will benefit from the overview of the subject provided. 

Quill was founded in April 1999 as an industrial consortium, with members from all sectors of the chemical industry. It is based on the well-proven industry/uni-versity cooperative research center (lUCRC) concept developed by the U.S. National Science Foundation and is only the second lUCRC in Europe. There were 17 founding industrial members of the Quill consortium, and the current membership includes (listed alphabetically) bp. Chevron, Cytec, DuPont, Eastman Chemicals, ICI, Invista, Merck, Novartis, Procter and Gamble, SACHEM, SASOL, Shell, Strata, and UOP. Research carried out between QUB and individual companies, or by QUILL itself, has generated more than 20 patent applications, many of which have now been published, from as diverse a range of industries as BNFL, BP Chemicals, Cytec, ICI, Quest International, and Uni-chema Chemie BV. In a recent report in Nature, the need for collaboration between government, industry, and academic institutions to form sustainable chemistry centers was stressed as vital in order to rethink traditional chemistry processes to be not only beneficial to the environment but also to make economic sense for industry. Quill, under the codirection of Professors Kenneth R. Seddon and Jim Swindall OBE, is one of these chemistry centers, and is the first (and... 

I left industry for academic employment because I lost faith in my primary project which turned out not to be economically feasible. .. Then, I found myself not really enjoying the lab that much... I knew that any other industrial position would require working on whatever the company dictated. I just felt that I didn t want that restriction anymore. I wanted to have the freedom to work on what I wanted. .. and a university environment provided that. 

Most industrially developed nations have government agencies that assess risk to human health and the environment resulting from the manufacture and use of chemical substances. Industry, consultants, academics, and the research community also undertake such assessments. For example, in the U.S., the Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) devotes considerable resources to risk analyses in its review of commercial substances that are or will be released to the environment. Canada has a similar system, and so do most nations in the European Union and Japan. As the number of potentially hazardous substances introduced into commerce grows, maximizing the efficiency of these assessments becomes increasingly important. 

The above programs are all currently implemented and marketed by Tripos and were developed by either the pharmaceutical industry or academic institutions and in cooperation with Tripos. All are integrated into the Sybyl environment [52] and use it for visualization and molecule construction. 

NMR is a ubiquitous and indispensable tool for elucidating molecular structures, determining impurities, and studying molecular dynamics. NMR is also used to analyze simple mixtures without physical separation, and to measure molecular properties and bulk properties of the medium. The nondestructive nature of NMR permits the sample to be used for further investigation. As a noninvasive technique, NMR is often used to study molecular binding and to screen potential drug candidates. Therefore, despite its low sensitivity, NMR has become an essential analytical tool in academic and industrial environments. However, the inherent insensitivity causes detection limits of NMR to be a few orders below that of other standard analytical techniques [14], At present, the limit of detection achieved by NMR in concentration terms is in the millimolar range. 

Brace Lester, Ph. D., has more than 20 years of research experience in biological and biomedical research working in both industry and academic environments. In conjunction with several other faculty members at the University of Minnesota, he founded Knowledge Frontiers, which specializes in technology assessment and scientific due diligence. Over the years. Dr. Lester has been involved in studying the role of G-proteins in the adhesion, motility and invasion of metastatic cancer cells. 

Why did it end Basically because the bean-counters in ICI couldn t see a return on their investment. Joe was never really at home in an industrial environment, not that The Frythe could even remotely be termed industrial in ambience. He was an academic to his fingertips and flourished in that atmosphere, as indeed he had done at Cambridge, and did later at Sussex University when he headed the Nitrogen Fixation Unit of the Agricultural Research Council. He never cultivated relationships within the company, finding the political side of life distasteful. Consequently, he was unprotected when a chill wind began to blow. 

Academic chemistry and industry share an umbilical cord. Universities train chemists for an industrial career. In return, the chemical industry funds some academic training (fellowships) and research (grants). Many professors of chemistry serve as occasional industrial consultants, receiving a handsome fee for their expert advice. Moreover, it is not infrequent for chemical careers to be hybrids, with scientists moving from an academic institution to an industrial environment, or vice versa. 

The first of these could well be research chemists and students in an academic or industrial environment who need to know what modern techniques are available to assist them in their efforts, but otherwise feel they have little concern for the operation of a spectrometer. Their data is likely to be collected under fully automated conditions or provided by a central analytical facility. The second may be a chemist in an academic environment who has hands-on access to a spectrometer and has his or her own samples that demand specific studies that are perhaps not available from fully automated instrumentation. The third class of reader may work in a smaller chemical company or academic chemistry department who have invested in NMR instrumentation but may not employ a dedicated NMR spectroscopist for its upkeep, depending instead on, say, an analytical or synthetic chemist for this. This, it appears (in the UK at least), is often the case for new...
