Advanced Chemistry Development and the University of Akron

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. enjoys a unique relationship with collaborators from the University of Akron. Presently Advanced Chemistry Development is actively pursuing the compilation of database modules which can plug-in to the NMR Manager software that is proving to be one of the most successful Advanced Chemistry Development products released to date. As a result of our close collaborations and aggressive schedule, expect to see a number of new and unique full spectral curve NMR databases released throughout 1998 to address the gaps that have existed in the marketplace for many years.

The present relationship involves exchange of information and feedback to support the present directions of our products.

The University of Akron's Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory is providing Advanced Chemistry Development with NMR spectra of monomers and polymers for incorporation into a polymer NMR database. These include spectra of non-proprietary commercial and research materials which have been accumulated over the past 15-20 years. Although the spectra cover applications in many areas of polymer science, there are extensive collections of data which should be of interest to those working on addition polymerization, vinyl polymers, rubber, and other elastomers.

H-1 and C-13 spectra were obtained on 200, 300, 400, 600 and 750 MHz spectrometers. When available, they include data from other characterization methods (such as Tg, MW, etc.), resonance assignments, and literature references to resonance assignments and preparation.
