Project Overview
Joseph Sabol, PhD
Chemical Consulting Portfolio:
-
A Canadian client requested help with industrial solvent blending of alcohols and mineral acids.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of spectroscopy instrumentation requested help with new market business development.
-
A U.S. importer of specialty chemicals needing help in complying with import regulations.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of pharmecuticals needing help in licensing assistance with a major consumer products company.
-
An international market research firm needing help to locate information on supply and demand of polyvinyl alcohol.
-
A U.S. electronics component manufacturer needing help with its in-house purification/electrolysis of a rare earth metal.
-
An international investment firm needing help in identifying major players and market segments in x-ray fluorescence, atomic absorption, and inductively coupled plasma (XRF/AA/ICP) instrumentation.
-
A U.S. veterinary products manufacturer needing help in determining the molecular structure, solubility, and physical properties of a multi-amino acid product.
-
A small U.S. patent law firm, with expertise in medical products and chemical instrumentation requested our help in identifying improvements in its marketing program.
-
A European polymer company requested our help in identifying new polymeric coatings for fuel cell applications and high-performance paints.
-
A U.S. company that produces and services capital equipment used in purifying polysilicon requested our help to determine whether various metals would react with process gases at elevated temperatures, 350 deg C.
-
A U.S. manufacturer/distributor of generic pharmaceuticals requested our help in determining improvements in vesicle encapsulation of one of its products.
-
A U.S. medical products manufacturer requested our help in reformulation of one of its coatings to be halogen-free.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of consumer specialty cleaning products requested our help (pH, surfactant) in determining improvements in its formulation.
-
A U.S. medical products manufacturer requested our help in synthesis of a kaolin compound to contain trace amounts of various metals.
-
A U.S. market research firm requested our help in designing survey questions and statistical analysis and interpretation of results around electron microscopy accessories.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of polymeric consumer products requested our help in determining better methods to paint and coat their products.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of building materials/products requested our help in identifying reasons why their current epoxy was unsatisfactory and recommendations for improvements.
-
A U.S. manufacturer of polymeric gaskets and seals requested our help in determining the chemical composition (FT-IR) of its competitors products and sources of monomers to produce a superior products.
-
A North American manufacturer of halogenated solvents requested information about solubility of acetylene and chlorine in dimethylformamide (DMF) and other solvents.
-
Client in Asia desired information on purification methodology of cyclic carbonates. The synthesis of cyclic carbonates includes three aspects: catalytic reaction of CO2 and epoxide, electrochemical reaction of CO2 and epoxide, and oxidative carboxylation of olefin. Ionic liquids with other chemical additives can be used. For selecting of ionic liquids, understanding the interaction with other solutes and solvents is crucial.
