Recent Investigations and Developments

Melting Pressure
The assumption that melting point is not a function of pressure is usually a good one. However, at high pressures Tm can change quite a bit from its 1 atm value. Fortunately there are estimation techniques that can predict this change.

Other investigations and developments:
  • The effect of pressure on the melting point of organic compounds.
  • Design of environmental friendly aircraft anti-icing fluids.
  • Physical properties of organophosphorus compounds.
  • Design of novel, less hazardous rocket fuels.
  • Estimating the flash points of mixtures.
Software Products
Synapse - A chemical product design system focusing on the generation and screening of new molecular structures and mixtures. Synapse automatically constructs new chemicals and formulations, predicts their macroscopic physical properties, and screens these properties against a set of design constraints. A "lite version" will be available for download in May 2008.

Cranium - A physical property estimation package capable of estimating over 20 physical properties. Simply draw your molecule's structure or enter your mixture's composition and Cranium will provide rapid and accurate estimates. A "lite version" is available for download.

Consulting Services
Chemical Product Design - We can assist in the development of new chemical products. Past projects have included the design of phase change materials, environmentally friendly solvents, lubricants, heat transfer fluids, sonar fill fluids, polymeric membranes and aircraft deicing fluids.

Solvent Selection and Material Substitution - Replacing environmentally incompatible solvents, refrigerants, and lubricants with improved substitutes can dramatically reduce pollution. We combine our in-house software tools and solvent expertise with partnerships for laboratory and pilot plant testing to offer a complete substitution service.
