ARTICLE #1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New whiter-than-white technology for laundry detergents
Chemistry of Materials

Laundry detergents that give new meaning to that old advertising clich, "whiter than white," may emerge from a controlled-release technology scheduled to be described in the Aug. 22 issue of the ACS journal, Chemistry of Materials.
