Extreme deformation of soft matter: tuning colloidal gel microstructure with ultrasound and microbubbles Valeria Garbin, TU Delft Controlling the microstructure of soft materials is essential to impart properties for advanced applications, for instance to obtain acoustic or photonic metamaterials, or by modifying their mechanical response. Imposing a steady or oscillatory shear during the manufacturing process…

Introduction to continuous flow chemistry with an industrial perspective Dr. Carl J. Mallia (Astrazeneca, Macclesfield, UK) Abstract : This lecture will go through basic principles of continuous flow chemistry including different reactors, mixers used and Process Analytical Technology in flow. Furthermore, examples from academia and industry are also illustrated.

Quantifying memory effects in random search processes Raphaël Voituriez, Sorbonne Université Abstract: A general question that arises in random walk theory is the quantification of space exploration by a random walker. A key observable is provided by the first-passage time, which  quantifies the kinetics of general target search problems, and as such has a broad…

Recent developments and future challenges in vitrimer materials Where: amphi Holweck Damien Montarnal, Laboratoire Catalyse, Polymérisation, Procédés et Matériaux (UMR 5128), Lyon Abstract: Vitrimers aim at combining the benefits of thermoplastics and thermosets by incorporating in polymer networks dynamic covalent crosslinks governed by associative, exchangeable reactions in chemical equilibrium. At high temperatures or in the…

Anodic Oxidations of Carboxylic Acids in Batch and Flow: New Tricks for an Old Reaction Dr Kevin Lam, The University of Greenwich School of Science, Chatham Maritime, ME4 4TB, UK Where ? Amphi Friedel (Chimie ParisTech - PSL)  Synthetic organic electrochemistry takes its roots from Faraday and Kolbe’s classic works on electrolysis of aliphatic carboxylic…

Modelling the thermal and mechanical response of glasses, including different dissipation processes Anne Tanguy, LaMCoS at INSA, Lyon   Abstract here   Remote connection details :  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83595816412?pwd=Q1VNbEdPcFMvNm9rSkpXRFRSZmlTUT09 Meeting ID: 835 9581 6412 Passcode: 399084

Insights from the cutting and tearing of silicone elastomers Shelby Hutchens, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Where ? ESPCI, Ondes room Abstract: The onset of fracture in soft, elastomeric solids eludes quantitative, microstructure-based prediction due in part to combination of a large, nonlinear material response in these materials; poorly understood accumulation of damage at and near…

Innovation in synthetic methodology through use of flow Pr. Timothy Noël (University of Amsterdam, NL) Abstract : Until recently, many reactions have been exclusively performed in conventional batch LabWare. With the advent of microreactor technology, significant effort has been devoted to develop a wide variety of continuous-flow techniques to facilitate organic synthesis. Microreactor technology offers several advantages compared…
