Collision chemistry yields raw materials for clinical laboratory IT solutions

A novel method of producing zinc oxide (ZnO) for use in clinical laboratory IT solutions could arise from trituration - the process of producing powders by grinding.

Scientists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Chemistry of Warsaw University of Technology have detected an unexpected consequence of colliding compounds which contain ZnO complexes.

They heated the material to 35 degrees C, then lowered its atmospheric pressure, leading to desolvation of the metal elements from the solvent.

A ZnO compound was obtained from the process that cannot be made by any other known process, due to its unique spatial structure.

This could in turn be used to create the semiconductor ZnO itself, for use in clinical laboratory IT solutions and other computing equipment.

A previous report from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences spoke of the facility's investigations of organic electronics - systems which can be rolled and flexed, or which are paper-thin, which require polymer-like properties in order to work.
