DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chiaramaria Stani\, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste\, and Dr. Giacomo Fiocco\, University of Pavia\nSponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Analytical Chemistry Division\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nNo one can deny the extraordinary aesthetic and acoustic features of Stradivari’s violins. While their worldwide reputation for quality goes unquestioned\, a consensus is unclear on the mysterious materials used in the protein-based ground coating directly spread on the wood surface\, which has preserved these masterpieces over the ages. \nJoin Dr. Chiaramaria Stani\, CERIC-ERIC scientist at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste\, and Dr. Giacomo Fiocco of the Arvedi Laboratory of Non-Invasive Diagnostics at the University of Pavia as they discuss the life of Antonio Stradivari with a focus on the unique construction process of his bowed string instruments\, specifically for the San Lorenzo 1718 and Toscano 1690 violins. Register now to discover more about the novel scientific advances achieved regarding the mystery behind the treatment of the violin’s wood coating as well as a short review of the literature and introduction of the IR s-SNOM nano-vibrational approach that has maximized a new level of attainable chemical details and revealed minute protein residues never before seen. \n\n\n\nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Jonathan Sweedler\, Editor-in-Chief of Analytical Chemistry and James R. Eiszner Family Endowed Chair and Professor in Chemistry of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is co-produced with the ACS Journal of Analytical Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nThe life of Antonio Stradivari and the diverse construction of his San Lorenzo 1718 and Toscano 1690 violins\nWhat is infrared scattering-type scanning near field optical microscopy (IR s-SNOM) and what it tells us about Stradivari violins\nCultural Heritage analytics at the nanoscale\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Resources\n“A Nanofocused Light on Stradivari Violins: Infrared s-SNOM Reveals New Clues Behind Craftsmanship Mastery” Analytical Chemistry \n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, January 18\, 2022 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Producer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnalytical Chemistry

SUMMARY:Electrochemical Wastewater Refining: Converting Pollutants into Products
DESCRIPTION:Asst. Prof. William Tarpeh\, Chemical Engineering Dept.\, Stanford University\n Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Industry Member Programs\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nTraditionally\, wastewater has been viewed as a source of pollution that can damage ecosystems. However\, wastewater collection can be a win-win for the environment and businesses\, because it contains several valuable elements like nitrogen\, carbon\, and phosphorus that can be converted and purified into high-purity products like fertilizers\, disinfectants\, acids\, and bases. Can we shift our perspective to valorize those pollutants as a source of feedstock chemicals to incentivize collection\, enable electrification of manufacturing\, and help achieve circular economies? \nJoin William Tarpeh\, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University\, as he discusses recent efforts and future opportunities to design catalysts\, separations methods\, and integrated electrochemical reactive separation systems that can achieve the vision of wastewater refining. Register now to learn how catalysis and separations can be integrated to produce high-purity chemicals from diverse\, variable\, and widespread wastewaters. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhy conventional chemical extraction\, manufacturing\, and disposal have exceeded planetary boundaries\nHow electrochemical wastewater refining\, or the tunable recovery of valuable resources from wastewaters\, can be achieved through electrocatalyst design\, solute-selective separations\, and stoichiometric electrochemical conversions\nHow to characterize both the aqueous and solid sides of electrochemical interfaces to uncover mechanistic insights that inform process design for wastewater refining\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, January 19\, 2022 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Producer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Industry Member Programs

SUMMARY:Designing Polyelectrolyte Coatings: Coacervates\, Assemblies\, and Complex Materials
DESCRIPTION:Prof. & Chair\, Jaime C. Grunlan\, Mechanical Engineering Dept.\, Texas A&M University\, and Assoc. Prof. Sarah L. Perry\, University of Massachusetts Amherst\nSponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Polymer Chemistry Division\n11:00am-12:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nUnderstanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings\, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level\, enables scientists to engineer materials and coatings useful in a wide range of industries and applications. From thickeners in foods to super plasticizers in concrete to water-soluble variants investigated by the medical industry for coatings on implants and controlling drug release in the body…polyelectrolytes have enormous potential to support innovative new technologies for those able to tune these complex chemical sequences to their needs. \n\n\n\nRegister now for free to learn from two scientists working in the field and their approaches for designing diverse materials and complex coacervates using polyelectrolytes\, including applications in pharmaceuticals\, protective coatings\, and textiles. Sarah L. Perry\, Associate Professor of the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, will discuss the molecular engineering of polyelectrolyte complex materials to create tailored bio-inspired materials that can be used in applications ranging from temperature-stable vaccines to coatings and fibers. Jaime C. Grunlan\, Leland T. Jordan ’29 Chair of the Texas A&M University will describe how environmentally-benign coatings prepared using water-soluble polyelectrolytes can be used to stop fires\, protect food from spoilage\, and prevent shorts in high voltage electronics. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Rong Yang\, Assistant Professor of Cornell University and co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow polyelectrolyte complexation is a bio-inspired approach to designing a range of diverse materials\nWhy patterning of charges provides a direct handle to modulate the phase behavior of complex coacervates\nHow coacervate materials can be used to improve the shelf life of vaccines\nHow water-based polyelectrolyte coatings can impart super gas barrier to commodity polymer film (e.g. PET) that rivals metal and metal oxide coatings\nWhy environmentally-benign\, intumescent coatings created from water-based polyelectrolyte coacervates render cotton\, polyester\, and nylon blended textiles self-extinguishing (with relatively low added weight)\nHow functional polyelectrolyte treatments can be deposited on various substrates at high speed using roll-to-roll coating technology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, January 26\, 2022 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Producer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Polymer Chemistry Division
