Dow chemical wins Nat'l Medal of technology. (Corporate, Financial News).Dow (Direct OverWrite) See magneto-optic disk. Chemical was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President George W. Bush. The National Medal cites breakthroughs in enabling technology which were rapidly integrated with existing capabilities to create new advanced products. An example is Dow's metallocene catalysis catalysis Modification (usually acceleration) of a chemical reaction rate by addition of a catalyst, which combines with the reactants but is ultimately regenerated so that its amount remains unchanged and the chemical equilibrium of the conditions of the reaction is not platform. Dow's Insite technology is the integration of a family of metallocene catalysts Metallocene catalyst A transition-metal atom sandwiched between ring structures having a well-defined single catalytic site and well-understood molecular structure used to produce uniform polyolefins with unique structures and physical properties. which allow much improvement in control of polymer chain microstructures. |
