Expert Details

Semiconductors, Silicon Metal Purification, Separations of Biomolecules, and Siloxane Chemistry

ID: 731138 Michigan, USA

Request Expert

Expert has been involved in scientific research and technology for over 35 years. He has authored 7 journal articles, over 15 lectures and nearly 50 patents. He has worked in classical R&D laboratories, Process Engineering units and large Manufacturing plants with demonstrated success. He is listed in Strathmore's, Cambridge, Oxford, and Heritage registries for industrial professionals and a member of the American Chemical Society.

Expert has worked with both Fortune 500 companies and small start-up firms.

He has developed technologies in many areas, including:

•Purification processes for semiconductor silicon metal
•Catalysts for automotive hard coats
•Catalysts for silicone reactions
•Coatings for fabrics, glass, floors and paper
•Filtration aids for drugs, beer and flavors
•Silicones for paper, sealants and emulsions
•Silicone-Organic polymers including acrylics
•Synthesis of silanes, treated silicas and flouresence

He developed silane coupling agents, silicone catalyst for automotive hard coats, silicone sealants and rubbers for construction and automotive, silicones for health and beauty, antifoams and deformers, scratch resistant coatings for glass and plastics, paper coatings, and antimicrobial agents for medical applications. He is well versed in the mechanism of silicone cure chemistry and their applications, as well as formulation know-how.

He worked with R&D project team to identify and eliminate impurities affecting silicon wafers. Working with Six Sigma Black Belts, production, engineering, and marketing gave improved quality and understand supply chain. He has a particular expertise in Phosphorus and Boron Impurities in this space. His understanding of fundamental mechanisms involving phosphorous and boron was critical to improving manufacturing purity in silicon metal produced by CVD and FBR.

Silica Treatment: He has expertise as a metal oxide modification specialist (bonding chemist). He has a particular expertise in Adsorptive Separations technology materials where he successfully converted separations “art” into useful filtration materials for decontaminating industrial streams and for HPLC and SPE bioseparations. He developed over 10 patents in this space involving bonded phase materials and surface modifications.

UV Cure Polymers: Expert has expertise as a Scientist in the area of rapid cure costings and sealants. He has been active in work with UV cured coating as both art and science. He mastered both. He holds over 10 patents from hard coatings containing acrylates to softer coatings with silicones and other related materials.
