EU RESEARCHERS TO DEVELOP SCENT RELEASING POLYMERS
March 1st, 2012
BY KEITH NUTHALL
A FIVE-YEAR Euro EUR1.9 million research project has been launched to develop intelligent polymers able to release scents among other functionalities. These behaviours would be controllable, so that "mechanical stress provides the activation energy to trigger specific pre-programmed chemical reactions," said a European Commission memorandum. The MERESPO project is coordinated by Switzerland's Université De Fribourg.
