Chemistry
Expert has experience synthesizing and characterizing novel electrophilies, i.e., classical and nonclassical carbocations, carbodications, halonium ions, oxonium ions, thioacylium ions, selenonium ions and nitrenium ions in low nucleophilicity highly superacidic solvent systems using low temperature NMR spectroscopy. He has studied…
Polymerization Reaction Engineering
EMULSION POLYMERIZATION; FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION; ACRYLATE; ADDITION POLYMERIZATION. A good deal of Expert's academic and industrial work has been in the area of reactor engineering for emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization systems. Of special interest are the choice of reactor configuration…
Synthesis and Characterization of Ceramic Powders and Single Crystals
Expert has used microencapsulation as a method to prepare multicomponent ceramic powders containing two to five components. He developed (and is in the process of patenting) the first dry microencapsulation process that also can be used as a granulation method.…
