- Arising from a company funded PhD, the chemiluminescence work highlighted in this paper has enabled Chemtura (brian.johnson@valtris.com) to optimise their antioxidant formulations in polyolefins, as a function of different polymerisation catalysts. This has enabled Chemtura to maintain its position as a global leader in the additives market. The success of the project led to another funded PhD with Addivant UK (who extended the research to assess novel Metal Deactivators) and three funded PhD projects with Songwon Industrial Group (Korea) who used the chemiluminescence technique to prevent toxic fragments arising from antioxidants leaching to water and foodstuffs (resulting in two patents).
