🔬 Are you an expert in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-based products? BASF is looking for a scalable, ideally continuous process that can efficiently separate different inorganic and organic pigments and dye components from a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix. This process should also maintain the basic macroscopic properties of TPU, such as tensile strength and resistance to abrasion. The deadline to apply for this opportunity is July 31st.

🦠 Are you an expert in microbial and biomolecule stabilization? One of our private sponsors is looking to establish collaborations with experts in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, biochemical, microbial, or related fields to evaluate and develop novel stabilization technologies for biologicals. They are interested in technologies that can offer foundational platforms for stabilizing representative biological candidates. Given the wide range of storage conditions specific to different market applications, they are open to solutions adaptable to various scenarios, provided they do not rely on cold storage. Stabilizing solutions must eventually meet several requirements, such as being sustainably sourced, free of microplastics, using GRAS-listed or inert ingredients, and ultimately complying with agricultural input regulations. Proposals encompassing all mentioned considerations will be given priority, yet we are open to dialogue in this space regardless of stage of technology.
