For more than ten years, ChemCeed has partnered with Junior Achievement of Wisconsin to inspire and prepare students to succeed. ChemCeed Vice President, Rolly Enderes, is particularly passionate about working with JA, and teaches several classes/lessons each year. These lessons promote career readiness, financial literacy and capability, and entrepreneurship. ChemCeed also participates in JA panels... Read more »

ChemCeed believes strongly in giving back to the community and encourages our team to participate in volunteer opportunities. This week, several of our staff, along with the owners of the company, volunteered to cook and serve a meal at Agnes’ Table in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The mission of Agnes’ Table is to collaborate with local... Read more »
Morpholine is incredibly common but a surprisingly little-known substance. It has applications as diverse as cleaning, rubber production, construction, heating and cooling, personal care, agriculture, and so much more. And yet, for all its usefulness, morpholine is strangely invisible. People don’t often think or write about morpholine, and it really is practically invisible, as it... Read more »
Each year, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire holds a spring career fair to connect upcoming graduates with area employers. We are always excited to attend this event and meet with prospects for both internship opportunities and long-term employment. ChemCeed will be attending this year’s in-person event, to be held on March 16, 2022 at UWEC.
When it comes to grease and lubrication, synthetic oil is the standard go-to for many applications, from engines to factory equipment to personal care products. And within this standard, polyalphaolefin oils (PAOs) are arguably the gold standard. However, synthetic oils, PAOs included, were not so ubiquitous until just a few decades ago. Why is synthetic...

Graphene oxide is– true to its name– oxidized graphene. ChemCeed’s article on graphene has already discussed a strange quirk in the history of graphene itself. Graphene was first discovered in 2004, even though carbon nanotubes (CNT), which are made of graphene, were discovered in 1991. Well, get ready for another surprising paradox: graphene oxide (GO)...

Carbon nanotubes are made of the thinnest element on earth: graphene. But while graphene itself lays flat, one atom in thickness, carbon nanotubes are, as you might expect, tubes. Their walls are made of graphene, but they behave a bit differently than flat graphene, and also are significantly different from graphene oxide (GO). Interestingly, carbon... Read more »
Graphene is often described as “two dimensional,” because it is a substance that is one atom in thickness: a flat lattice of carbon atoms. And yet, graphene’s tensile strength is roughly 200 times greater than steel. As an added bonus, graphene is also highly conductive and very flexible. Although 2D graphene was first isolated by...

For months, the news cycles and industry blogs have been filled with stories involving worldwide supply chain issues. Now it seems that for the first time in a while, we are seeing some progress being made and it’s coming from a predictably progressive source: California. With just two California ports handling roughly 40% of... Read more »
