They can be applied to the skin as solutions, gels or sprays. After evaporation of the volatile solvent, the polymer contained in the formulation forms a solid film. FFSs possess several advantages, especially for the treatment of localized lesions such as warts, keloids, hypertrophic scars, or non-melanoma skin cancers. They can be applied precisely and once solidified, ensure that accidental contamination is avoided, and a prolonged release is achieved. As previously demonstrated for a non-pharma grade polymer, they can also provide marked enhancement of solubility and skin penetration, especially if the resulting film represents a true molecularly dispersed solid solution [2]. In the present study, it was investigated if such a pronounced solubility enhancement is also possible with the novel, pharma-grade polymer Soluplus® which has shown itself to be an effective absorption enhancer of poorly soluble actives in peroral drug delivery . #excipient #Soluplus by BASF Pharma Solutions

Harmful Additives in Compostable Packaging The findings revealed that the paper products are the most likely to present high per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) levels. Moreover, six out of the ten products contained detectable levels of PFAS, with an unlined fibre tray showing particularly high levels. This suggests the intentional addition of these persistent and potentially harmful chemicals. Heavy metal analysis indicated that copper levels in the newspaper and pizza box exceeded allowable limits, raising concerns about their impact on soil health. Other metals like lead and chromium were present but within safe levels. Polymer analysis identified the presence of styrene-based polymers and polylactic acid (PLA) in several products. These materials, though intended to be biodegradable, can degrade in natural environments and cause microplastic pollution. The pizza box primarily contained phthalates and bisphenols used as plasticizers, while bisphenol A (BPA) was also found in the bin liner and brown paper bag. Additionally, enhancing consumer education and reducing greenwashing are essential to promote responsible use and disposal of compostable products. #Harmful #Additives #Compostable #Packaging #paper #copper #Polymer #plastic #environments #microplastic #pollution #greenwashing #zist #پلاستیک #زیست

BASF to Expand 3D-Printing Capacity for #Catalysts in Ludwigshafen #BASF announced plans to invest in additional production capacity for its X3D technology, a new additive manufacturing technology for catalysts based on 3D printing. The plant, which will produce catalysts on an industrial scale, is expected to be operational in 2026. BASF said that catalysts produced using this technology are not only mechanically robust but also feature an open structure, which significantly reduces pressure drop across reactors and increases surface area, thus improving the performance of the catalysts. According to BASF, the X3D technology can be applied to a wide array of catalytic materials, including both precious and non-precious metal catalysts, as well as carriers. This flexibility allows BASF to customize catalysts according to specific customer requirements by fine-tuning parameters such as infill patterns, fiber diameters, and orientations.

In this interview that Ilkay Özkisaoglu conducted during IFAT in München with Nicholas Ecke of sensXPERT - Optimizing Plastics Manufacturing, he gave us these three tips for materials producer and substrate producers once they are really dealing with materials: First tip for materials processors would be to think about sustainability, about circularity of your products, of your source materials, of your processes. Second tip would be to make the best use of the data that you have available. Many plastics processors have a wealth of data available from their machines, from measurements that they do in-house, and maybe from sensors that they already have installed in the mold. Third tip would be don't settle for inefficient processes. Watch this video how AI can help you improve your material plastic's production process. What are your experiences on handling polymeric materials? CompositesLounge.com #Composites360onTour
