Ormecon Research

Ormecon Chemie (have a look at our new factory...) - is one of the very few small companies in the world with a continous long-term basic research. Before Ormecon's foundation as 100% subsidiary of the Zipperling Kessler Holding, this research was performed at Zipperling.

Here the latest news from our research and an overview covering our publications:

Public discussion about

"Polyaniline as a possible inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel"

by M.M. Attar and J.D.Scantlebury

You are welcome to discuss it.

comment by Dr. B. Wessling

please comment

We will publish all comments, which arrive either here or in the corrosion discussion list

New paper here open for discussion:

Can conductive polymers (organic metals) form true solutions?

Or do they form complicate dispersions?

Take a look into this paper here in the web.
You are welcome to discuss it.

This manuscript has not yet been accepted. A new version is available here including a critical review on applications of conductive polymers/Organic Metals and the discussion of "solution or dispersion?" in a more compressed way: Dispersion as the link between Basic Research and Commercial Applications of Conductive Polymers (Polyaniline) with a contribution to the question: „Can Conductive Polymers principally be soluble?"
