For the last two years, supply chain issues have dominated the news. These issues started in 2020, persisted through 2021, and seem to have no end in sight. It feels like every time we make progress and improvements, another link in the chain is broken or strained. The cliché “one step forward and two steps... 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 »

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 »
