The molar ratio between methanol and isobutylene (MRMI) is very important to the operation of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) production units. A new on-line near-infrared (NIR) analytical system was integrated for monitoring the MRMI in real time and was

We report on interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) formed by micelles of ionic amphiphilic diblock copolymers with polyisobutylene (PIB) and poly(sodium methacrylate) (PMANa) blocks interacting with quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VPQ). The interpolyelectrolyte complexation was followed by turbidimetry and small angle neutron scattering (SANS).

A novel resonant cantilever sensor system for liquid-phase applications is presented. The monolithic system consists of an array of four electromagnetically actuated cantilevers with transistor-based readout, an analog feedback circuit, and a digital interface. The biochemical sensor chip with a

Hydrogenated polyisobutene (HP) is used in topically applied cosmetic/personal care formulations as an emollient that leaves a pleasing skin feel when applied, and rubbed in after application. This effect, although distinguishable to the user, is difficult to define and quantify.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 93(4), 1377-1387 (2012-01-12)
Isobutene (2-methylpropene) is one of those chemicals for which bio-based production might replace the petrochemical production in the future. Currently, more than 10 million metric tons of isobutene are produced on a yearly basis. Even though bio-based production might also
