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.
