Mesoscale Materials, Phenomena and Functionality
Presented by MRS Bulletin
November 18 | 12:00 – 1:30pm ET
Host: John Sarrao, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Attendance for this and all MRS OnDemand Webinars if FREE, but advance registration is required.
REGISTER NOW
The mesoscale domain where atomic granularity, quantization of energy, and simplicity of structure and function give way to continuous matter and energy, complex structures, and composite functionalities, represents a new scientific frontier. The November 2015 issue of MRS Bulletin explores some of the hallmarks of mesoscale materials science and highlights current and new research directions. This webinar will expand on some of the areas of mesoscale science explored in the articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin.

Integration of Computation and Experiment for Discovery and Design of Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
– Sharon Glotzer, University of Michigan
– Nicholas Kotov, University of Michigan
Instrumentation for In-Situ Mechanical Characterization: Nano to Meso
– Douglas Stauffer, Hysitron, Inc.
Bonus Talk:
Understanding and Manipulating Mesoscale Ferroic Domain Patterns
– Long-Qing Chen, The Pennsylvania State University

Monitoring oil viscosity as a function of temperature and shear rate is essential for many reasons including: – Ensuring Oil Quality
– Oil Characterization Under Different Conditions – Detecting Oxidation (Decay) – Improving performance of engines & preventing mechanical failure – Reducing wear, inhibiting corrosion, improving sealing and cooling This webinar will cover the analysis and characterization of oils across temperature and shear rate ranges, along with the importance of such characterization. In addition, it will cover the estimation of high-temperature viscosity values utilizing room-temperature viscosity measurement and ASTM D341.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Scientists, engineers and managers in research, process development and production, desiring a glimpse into the various areas of application for twin screw extruders in the pharmaceutical industry.
CONTENTS:
Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) has been advancing for a number of years for formulating active ingredients with low solubility. The HME process will be presented and discussed in detail using practical examples. The use of the extruder will be presented for moisture extrusion and granulation.

Application specialists for the pharmaceutical industry
WITec 3D Raman Imaging Meets AFM, SNOM and Profilometry Workshop. May 24th, 2013 – Université de Montréal
This workshop will give a detailed introduction to the operational principles and instrumental configurations relevant to confocal Raman and Scanning Probe Microscopy (AFM, SNOM, Pulsed Force Mode). Our Speakers will cover several aspects of Raman and SPM imaging and their fields of applications. An extensive system demonstration gives the participants the opportunity to see this knowledge applied using an alpha300 RSA (combined AFM & SNOM Confocal Raman Microscope).
Scientists interested in how to chemically identify and image the compounds of a sample at the highest spatial resolution are invited to participate. Typical research fields for confocal Raman imaging are nanotechnology, pharmaceutics and cosmetics, materials and polymer sciences, archaeology and geoscience, forensics, coatings, thin films and all fields where a clear identification of the distribution of chemical compounds is a necessity.

Spectra Research will be attending these three conferences this summer:
Surfance Canada 2013 Conference in London, Ontario. May 7-10, 2013
15th Photonics North Conference in Ottawa, Ontario. June 3-5, 2013
96th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition in Quebec, Quebec. May 26-30, 2013
Technicians skilled in developing, characterizing and testing food and its processability, and with an understanding of rheology, will be interested in the complimentary webinar being offered by Thermo Scientific on November 13, 2012.
Combining rheology with other analytical techniques allows for a better understanding of the flow and behaviour of food products. The combined results can correlate specific macroscopic flow and application phenomena with micro/molecular structure. These methods can be used for:
– time and temperature dependent behaviour, gelatinization, gelification, cross-linking, crystallization, melting and freezing
– particle size and particle size distribution
– aggregation and disaggregation, thixotropy
– correlation with microstructure via in-situ microscopy
– mouth feeling, spreadability and processability
