Conference Presentations - 2010 AIChE Annual Meeting

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce clean hydrogen fuel is an attractive method for harvesting intermittent solar energy and storing it in the form of chemical bonds. A key photoelectrode material requirement is visible light absorption to maximize the number of photogenerated...

A systematic experimental study of the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles and nanoporous films is presented. Powders were made by flame spray pyrolysis method with end applications in the photoeclectrochemical production of hydrogen. Inhibited particle growth was observed for prticles made...

The use of electrospinning to generate one dimensional materials has garnered significant interest lately due to its inexpensive nature and the diversity of materials fabricated. Recently one dimensional materials have also been investigated to support catalytic nanoparticles to prevent aggregation...

Present a case study on mixture DOE involving five components used to formulate a pharmaceutical tablet. The goal is to achieve a sustained release by optimizing the concentration of a hydrophilic polymer in relation to the proportions of a drug and three excipients. Four responses (two related to...

S-PEEK has been known as one of the promising candidates for fuel cell application since it has high thermo-oxidative stability and extraordinary mechanical properties as well as high cost effectiveness. However, the nanoscale structure and transport properties for S-PEEK have not been thoroughly...

There is a multitude of possible formulation pathways for pharmaceutical compounds among which polymorph, solvate, salt and cocrystal formation are the most common. Finding the optimal formulation by experimentation alone is often expensive and time consuming. In a quality by design environment,...
