Abstract: A method is disclosed for screening potential catalysts for polymerization performance. The method includes the steps of reacting a potential catalyst with at least a first monomer under polymerization conditions, determining the polymerization performance of the catalyst with the at least first monomer, and using the determination as a predictor for the polymerization performance of the catalyst for at least a second monomer, wherein the first and second monomers are different from each other and the first monomer is an olefin other than ethylene. The method provides a useful, concrete and tangible result that has particular value for identifying appropriate catalysts for olefin polymerization and copolymerization.

Abstract: Methodologies for the synthesis, screening and characterisation of organometallic compounds and catalysts (eg homogenous catalysts), including combinatorial synthesis, screening and characterisation of libraries of supported and unsupported organometallic compounds and catalysts (eg homogenous catalysts). The methods can be applied to the preparation and screening of large numbers of organometallic compounds which can be used not only as catalysts (eg homogeneous catalysts), but also as additives and therapeutic agents.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for screening combinatorial libraries of materials by measuring the response of individual library members to mechanical perturbations is described. The apparatus generally includes a sample holder for containing t he library members, an array of probes for mechanically perturbing individual library members, and an array of sensors for measuring the response of each of the library members t o the mechanical perturbations. Library members undergoing screening make up a sample array, and individual library members constitute elements of the sample array that are confined to specific locations on the sample holder. During screening, the apparatus mechanically perturbs individual library members by displacing the sample array (sample holder) and the array of probes. Typically, all of the elements of the sample array are perturbed simultaneously, but the apparatus also can also perturb individual or groups of sample array elements sequentially. The flexible apparatus and method can screen librarie s of materials based on many different bulk physical properties, including Young's modulus (flexure, uniaxial extension, biaxial compression, and shear); hardness (indentation), failure (stress and strain at failure, toughness), adhesion (tack, loop tack), and flow (viscosity, meltflow indexing, and rheology), among others.

Abstract: Parallel flow reaction systems comprising four or more reaction channels are disclosed. Distribution systems, and parallel flow reaction systems comprising such distribution systems are also disclosed. Specifically, the distribution systems comprise a feed-composition subsystem for providing a different feed composition to each of the four or more reactors. In preferred embodiments, the feed composition subsystem comprises at least one set of four or more feed-component flow restrictors, each of the four or more feed-component flow restrictors having a flow resistance that varies relative to other flow restrictors in the set.

Abstract: A modular materials characterization apparatus includes a sensor array (10) disposed on a substrate (16), with a standardized array and contact pad (14) format; electronic test and measurement apparatus (54) for sending electrical signals to and receiving electrical signals from the sensor array (10); an apparatus for making electrical contact (50) to the sensors in the standardized array format; an apparatus for routing signals (129) between one or more selected sensors and the electronic test and measurement apparatus and a computer (52) with a computer program recorded therein for controlling the operation of the apparatus. The sensor array (10) is preferably arranged in a standardized format used in combinatorial chemistry applications for rapid deposition of sample materials on the sensor array. An interconnection apparatus (40) and sensor array (10) and contact pad (32) allow measurement of many different material properties by using substrates carrying different sensor types.

Abstract: A method and system for researching and developing and/or optimizing new catalysts and products in a combinatorial manner is disclosed. The method begins with starting components or a ligand library and provides methods of creating catalyst or product libraries, which are then tested in a reaction of interest. The system uses methods of robotic handling for moving libraries from station to station. The method and apparatus are especially useful for synthesizing, screening, and characterizing combinatorial catalyst libraries, but also offer significant advantages over conventional experimental methods as well.
