SUMMARY:Better Ion Transport Through Polymer Chemistry: Polymer Electrolytes and Ion-conducting Membranes (REBROADCAST)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry\n11:00am-12:30pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\nElectrochemical processes in devices like solar cells\, fuel cells\, lithium batteries\, and water desalination systems rely on the safe\, efficient\, and robust transport of anions and cations between electrodes — all made possible by polymer chemistry! \nView this rebroadcast to learn about the work being done by experts working on advances in polymer technology for use in the next generation of ion transport systems. First\, Alexei Sokolov\, ORNL/UT Governor’s Chair and Professor of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Tennessee\, will introduce you to this exciting time of progress in the field of polymer electrolytes. Prof. Sokolov will provide an overview of the microscopic mechanisms controlling ion transport in polymer electrolytes\, present recent achievements in the design of polymer electrolytes with high conductivity at ambient temperatures and share several examples of polymer-based solid-state batteries. Previous generations of batteries rely on liquid electrolytes to carry ionic charges\, but new polymer electrolytes are reaching a level of conductivity that will enable solid state batteries with significant gains in energy density\, robustness\, and safety. \nThen\, Michael A. Hickner\, the Craig A. Rogerson Endowed Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Michigan State University\, will zoom out to describe how mechanically tough polymer membranes with high ionic conductivity control the flow of electrolytes in the ion transport system. Prof. Hickner will cover key aspects of the synthesis of acid- and base-containing polymers that are used as proton and hydroxide exchange membranes in electrochemical devices\, including the relationship between the membrane’s polymer backbone\, ion content\, and water uptake. Prof. Hickner will also describe the role of water in conducting protons and hydroxide anions and provide examples of other key applications for ion-containing polymers. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by X. Chelsea Chen\, R&D Staff Polymer Scientist\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, and co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nFundamentals of ion transport in polymers\nRecent achievements in design of polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity\nAdvantages of polymer-based solid-state batteries\nSynthesis of acidic and basic polymers for use in ion-conducting membranes\nThe role of water in conduction of protons and hydroxide anions\nKey applications for ion-containing polymers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Division of Polymer Chemistry

SUMMARY:Eating Dangerously: How a Chemist’s “Poison Squad” Won the Battle for Food Safety in the US (Rebroadcast)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of the History of Chemistry \n11:00am-Noon\, Online\, Free\, Registration required \n\n\n\n\nThis is a rebroadcast of our most popular webinars of 2024. ACS members can view the recording in our library now.\nThere will be no Q&A\, you will be listening to a recording!\nThursday\, December 19\, 2024 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the late 19th century\, simply eating food could be a genuine hazard. To increase the shelf life of their products\, food manufacturers intentionally added dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde and salicylic acid to everything from milk to meat without any of the regulatory oversight that we take for granted today. \n\n\n\nJoin Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times-bestselling author Deborah Blum during this rebroadcast as she reveals the dramatic true story of how food was made safer in the United States during a 30 year food safety battle for consumer protection by chemist Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley and his heroic Poison Squad. \nRegister now for this rebroadcast of one of our most popular webinars of 2024 to discover the surprisingly thrilling history of food safety standards in America – a story of politics\, poison and a federal chemist turned crusader who took us from a century deemed the “great American stomachache” to the landmark 1906 Food and Drug Act. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Carmen J. Giunta\, Professor Emeritus of Le Moyne College and is co-produced with the ACS Division of the History of Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat the US food supply was like before regulation\nHow 19th century food chemists investigated the problem\nThe science and the politics of the first consumer safety laws – and their continuing influence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Division of the History of Chemistry
