It involves pharmaceuticals, but the newest technological advance from BASF could have implications in a range of fields, including personal care. In collaboration with researchers from Harvard, EPFL (Switzerland) and Yale, BASF scientists developed a new process that makes amorphous nanoparticles with increased solubility. This improves the efficient uptake of drugs, for example, in the human body. Without such processing drug molecules would arrange in the form of crystals, which are difficult...
