The 3rd Edition contains features specifically requested from users in these fields:

Designed solvents– seeking safer, better, cheaper solvents for specific activities

Printing/coating – searching for better ways to formulate their polymers and pigments

Printed electronics and OPV – finding faster ways to formulate these complex systems

Packaging and barrier films – using the insights of HSPiP’s diffusion modeller to understand complex barrier issues, including the safety of industrial gloves

Photoresist design – rational optimisation of solvent blends for optimum washout with minimum swelling
Carbon nanotubes and graphene – world-leading scientists are using HSPiP to develop better solvents for processing and dispersing

Nanosystems – for better understanding the processing issues of CNTs, quantum dots, nanoclays and other nanoparticles

Biopolymers – using HSPiP to fast-track development of solvents, plasticisers, dispersing agents for these newer polymers

Ionic liquids – continuing progress in understanding the solvation capabilities of these potentially green solvents

DNA –helping to understand cytotoxicity and synergism with mixed chemicals

HSE – using HSPiP’s “read across” capability to gain insights into Health, Safety and Environmental issues and thereby providing routes to rational substitution of chemicals that are no longer acceptable

Skin for pharma, cosmetics, fragrances – novel insights into how chemicals interact with the skin for pharmaceutical, cosmetics and fragrance applications

Classic polymers – of course HSP continue to be valuable for understanding the processing of classic polymer systems 

... and much much more!
