Materials Science\, Boston University\nSponsored by the ACS California Section’s Women’s Chemists Committee (View flyer)\nSeptember 10\, 10:30am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nAbstract: \nAlthough African Americans make up approximately 13% of the US population\, they are severely underrepresented in advanced degrees awarded in STEM disciplines. Currently\, they hold ~2% of tenure/tenure track positions in research institutions in the US. Despite the overwhelming statistics\, Dr. Jeffries-El pursued and completed a doctorate in chemistry\, obtained an academic job\, and then tenure in promotion in due course. She was born in Brooklyn\, NY where she lived in public housing and attended public school. Although her situation was less than ideal\, she always had a passion for science that her parents encouraged her to pursue. In this talk\, Dr. Jeffries-EL will discuss what excites her about science\, diversity\, equity and inclusion issues and potential solutions woven all within the context of her personal experiences. \nBio: \nMalika Jeffries-El is the Associate Dean of the Graduate School in Arts and Sciences and Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Division of Materials Science at Boston University. Dr. Jeffries-EL’s research focuses on the development of organic semiconductors –materials that combine the processing properties of polymers with the electronic properties of semiconductors. She is a fellow of the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry and has won numerous awards including the Percy Julian Award from the National Organization of Black Chemist and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE)\, the ACS-Women Chemist Committee Rising Star award\, the Iota Sigma Pi Agnes Fay Morgan Award\, and the Stanley J. Israel award for diversity. She has authored over 40 publications\, received over 4000 citations\, and given over 175 invited lectures domestically and abroad. \nProfessor Jeffries-El\, is also a staunch advocate for diversity and a dedicated volunteer that has served in several activities within the American Chemical Society. She is a science communicator who seeks to encourage students from underrepresented groups to pursue STEM degrees and recently appeared on the NOVA series Beyond the Elements. She also serves the community through her work with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Incorporated (AKA).

Applications ranging from alternative energy to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and every day products should rely on terrestrially abundant elements such as iron rather than rare ones that have a large environmental footprint associated with mining and purification. \nJoin Paul Chirik\, Edward S. Sanford Professor at Princeton University and Editor-in-Chief of Organometallics as he explores the new chemistry enabled by catalysis with Earth abundant transition metals. Dr. Chirik and his research group strive to discover highly effective catalysts with applications in the pharmaceutical\, flavor and fragrance\, silicones\, energy and polymer science industries and often engage with industrial collaborators. They seek to uncover the unique pathways that enable these transformations\, many of which are distinct from precious metals and rely on the unique electronic structures of the first row transition metals. Register now to discover the distinct chemistry enabled by iron and cobalt catalysts and the design principles that were used in catalyst discovery. Learn about real-life applications and broad challenges that confront the field such as air-stable\, easily handled precursors\, functional group tolerance\, ligand design and understanding reaction mechanism. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Director of Sustainable Development\, Adelina Voutchkova-Kostal of ACS and is co-produced with the ACS Office of Sustainable Development and Organometallics. \nDiscover more about the webinar topic including submission details for the planned joint Virtual Special Issue in Organometallics and OPR&D “Advances and Applications in Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to understand your elemental footprint and what is the importance of elemental usage in society\nWhat is the indefensible role of hydrocarbons in our daily lives and what are some approaches to increase the sustainability of our elemental usage and hydrocarbon future\nWhat are the potential frontiers in development of sustainable base-metal catalytic transformations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, September 15\, 2022 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available to download on the day of the webinar

SUMMARY:Tightly-Bound Polymers
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Frank Blum\, Department of Chemistry\, Oklahoma State University\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\n6:30-7:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 donation\, Registration required (Registration deadline: September 21st at 1pm)\n\nAbstract:\nTightly-bound polymer can be described as those polymer segments near a solid surface with which they have a strong attraction. Compared to bulk segments\, they have reduced mobility\, smaller heat capacity\, and broadened-elevated glass transitions. The distance scale for such a polymer interphase in several systems was determined to be around 1 nm. Nevertheless\, they can have a significant effect on the properties of composites. Their small scale makes them difficult to characterize with most techniques normally used in polymer composites. To highlight the effects of these tiny interphases\, we have used large specific surface area substrates (nanoparticles such as silica\, alumina and graphene oxide) with small adsorbed amounts of polymer. Typically\, we have used polymers which hydrogen bond to the substrates. To probe both the dynamics and structure of the interphase we have used FTIR\, deuterium NMR\, calorimetry\, and molecular simulations. We find that this combination of techniques can give us some significant insight into these important interphases. For example\, they may have glass transitions which can be 40 to 100 °C wide! \nSpeaker Background & Research Interests:\n\nFrank D. Blum\, Harrison I. Bartlett Chair and Regents’ Professor of Chemistry at Oklahoma State University has research interests in materials science and surface chemistry. His work has focused on the molecular motion and physical properties of polymers and surface-active agents at interfaces. He has also headed an interdisciplinary group to make polymer composites from used carpets and beverage bottles. Frank is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and a Fellow of the Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY)\, Inc. His ACS National service includes: Chair of the Committee on Nominations and Elections and the Divisional Activities Committees.

SUMMARY:Los Increíbles Líquidos Iónicos: Síntesis y Caracterización
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Clarissa P. Frizzo\, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria and Prof. Ingrid Montes\, Universidad de Puerto Rico\, Recinto de Río Piedras\nSponsored by ACS Webinars\, Sociedad Quimica de Mexico\, and C&EN en Espanol\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nLos líquidos iónicos (IL) se describieron por primera vez hace casi un siglo aunque recientemente han despertado interés debido a una variedad de aplicaciones potenciales en procesos químicos\, biológicos y con los más diversos materiales. Las propiedades fisicoquímicas de estos compuestos se pueden ajustar fácilmente mediante la elección adecuada del catión y el anión que los constituyen. Por lo tanto\, una propiedad más atractiva de los ILs es la flexibilidad o el ajuste del desarrollo de las propiedades físicas\, químicas y biológicas al cambiar la estructura del catión y el anión. \nDurante el webinar gratuito\, la Dra. Clarissa P. Frizzo de la Universidade Federal de Santa Maria en Brasil hablará sobre cómo se puede sintetizar y caracterizar nuevos líquidos iónicos y cómo funcionan sus propiedades físicas\, como la tensión superficial\, la viscosidad\, la densidad\, la estabilidad térmica y la fuerza de interacción catión-anión. Regístrese hoy para aprender sobre las propiedades de los tensioactivos\, lubricantes\, emulsionantes propiedades biológicas tales como citotoxicidad y actividad antimicrobiana. \n\n\n\nLo Que El Público Aprenderá\n\nQué son líquidos iónicos\nCuales son las propriedades físicas de líquidos iónicos y como se caracterizan\nQué es la aplicación de líquidos iónicos en la biolubricación\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetalles del Evento\n\nMiércoles\, el 28 de Septiembre\, 2022 @ 2:00–3:00pm ET / 1:00-2:00pm CT\nCoste: Gratuito\nLas diapositivas estarán disponibles para descargar el día del evento
