Nanotechnology, Biomaterials, Sol-gel Sciences, Optics, Biotechnology, Glass, Ceramics, Spectroscopy
Expert is a specialist of sol-gel chemistry. He developed a new non-aqueous method for sol-gel glass coating to obtain transparent films for integrated optics and photonics using polysiloxane materials. The aim was to obtain low-softening temperature glasses to permit facile…
Process Inorganic Chemistry and Liquid Solid Crystallization and Fluid Bed Processes
He was deeply involved in a large segment of inorganic chemistry within SOLVAY who is a major actor (3 billions Euros turn over in inorganic chemicals). Expertise area covers most of steps of processes with special emphasis on crystallization: liquid…
Polymer Processing, Rheology and Composites, including Nanocomposites
Expert has personal experience with resin transfer molding and pultrusion. He has published work on modeling of pultrusion of vinyl ester composites. He teaches a graduate-level course on composite material processing. Expert has been doing research on polymer nanocomposites since…
Europe Based Chemical Process Development: Troubleshooting, Yield, Quality, Cost Reduction
When evaluating the level of process control, the expert uses the concept of "Quality Windows". He will quantify to what extend the process is erratic and how that contributes to the (lack of) capability of the process. Depending on the…
Process Engineering, Inorganic Chemicals: Chloralkali, Sulfuric Acid, SO2, and Fertilizers
Expert’s graduate work (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) was in adsorption of gases in molecular sieve zeolites. The work included exhaustive experimentation on equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption and included calculation of adsorption energy from electrostatic and van der Waals forces acting…
Crystallization
CRYSTALLIZATION. Expert has expertise in a wide variety of areas related to crystallization. These include impurity-crystal interactions, solvent inclusion formation, and control of crystal size and crystal shape. He conducts a major academic research group in crystallization, consults for a…
Food Engineering/Crystallization
Expert has been studying crystallization processes for the past 16 years with an emphasis on crystallization in foods. His current emphasis involves controlling crystallization (either promoting or preventing) of sugars, ice, and fats. This research involves both basic aspects of…
