SUMMARY:Sustainable Polymer Designs via Robust Dynamic Covalent Bonds
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Zhibin Guan\, Chemistry Dept.\, UC Irvine\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum (GGPF)\n6:30 PM Online via Zoom\, Registration required. Learn more and register\n\nAbstract:\nThis talk will discuss our recent progress in developing sustainable thermoset polymers that are strong\, self-healing\, malleable\, and recyclable by using robust while dynamic boron-oxygen (B–O) and silyl ether (Si–O) bonds. Our goal for this project is to develop a universal strategy for the design of sustainable polymeric materials. Specifically\, we aim to combine the excellent attributes of both thermoplastics (reprocessability and recyclability) and thermosets (mechanical strength\, creep and solvent resistances) through dynamic covalent chemistry. We have particularly focused on developing covalent interactions that can lead to thermosets that are mechanically strong\, highly malleable\, and also both fully reprocessable and recyclable. In this talk\, I will summarize our recent progress in this project with specific focus on our investigation of sustainable thermosets using boron-oxygen (B–O)\, silyl ether (Si–O–C)\, and siloxane (Si–O–Si) exchange reactions. A successful demonstration of robust\, malleable\, and reprocessable/recyclable thermosets will have major impact on new materials development\, plastic recycling and sustainability\, and modern technologies including additive manufacturing. \nSpeaker Background & Research Interests:\nZhibin Guan obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Peking University. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1994 at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. Following a postdoctoral stint at Caltech and a short career at DuPont\, in 2000 he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at UC Irvine as an assistant professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2004\, and to Full Professor in 2006. From 2006\, he also became affiliated faculty of the Department of Biomedical Engineering\, the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, and the Department of Material Science at UC Irvine. He has received recognition of his research with several awards and fellowships\, including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship\, the Humboldt Bessel Research Award\, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, the NSF CAREER Award\, the Beckman Young Investigator Award\, and was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His research work has been featured many times in scientific journals and also in news sources such as C&EN News\, Washington Post\, Wall Street Journal\, Los Angeles Times\, CNN\, Forbes\, etc. He served as the Chair for the 2018 Bioinspired Materials Gordon Research Conference in Les Diablerets\, Switzerland.

DESCRIPTION:Bill Leckrone\, Special Agent\, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)\nCo-sponsored by ACS Webinars\, ACS Advocacy\, and ACS Industry Member Programs\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nHistorically\, economic espionage has targeted defense-related and high-tech industries\, but recent cases have shown that no industry\, large or small\, is immune to the threat. Any company with a proprietary product\, process\, or idea can be a target; any unprotected trade secret is vulnerable to theft by those who wish to illegally obtain innovations to increase their market share at a victim company’s expense. \n\n\n\nJoin Special Agent Bill Leckrone of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as he shares his knowledge and experience as lead investigator in nationally notable cases such as 2016’s “Natural Look” and 2022’s “Coca-Cola Chemist”. Register now to discover the details of a case on economic espionage at a chemical facility and threats to the chemical sector. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Rebekah Paul of the American Chemical Society and is co-produced with ACS Advocacy and ACS Industry Member Programs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat are some of the best practices to protect your company from economic espionage\nHow data loss prevention tools can save a company’s trade secrets\nThe importance of building a security centered culture and why the “See something\, say something” concept is important\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, December 8\, 2022 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will not be shared per speaker’s request

DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions\n5-6pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nWhat’s the secret to innovation? How do scientific findings transfer to the real world? Professor Zhenan Bao\, K.K. Lee Professor of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University and former department chair of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University\, sits down with Scott Rozelle\, the Helen F. Farnsworth Senior Fellow and the co-director of Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions\, to answer these questions and more. Born in China\, Professor Bao moved to the U.S. during college and rose to become a leading scientist and professor of chemical engineering whose work pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in fundamental science. During the conversation\, she will share how she became who she is today\, her thoughts on Stanford’s culture of innovation\, and her passion for mentoring the next generation of innovators. \nAbout the speakers:\nZhenan Bao is K.K. Lee Professor of Chemical Engineering\, and by courtesy\, a Professor of Chemistry and a Professor of Material Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Bao founded the Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiate (eWEAR) in 2016 and serves as the faculty director. \nPrior to joining Stanford in 2004\, she was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in Bell Labs\, Lucent Technologies from 1995-2004. She received her Ph.D in Chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1995.  She has over 700 refereed publications and over 100 US patents with a Google Scholar H-Index 190.\nBao has received notable recognition for her work in chemical engineering. Most recently\, she was the inaugural recipient of the VinFuture Prize Female Innovator 2021\, the ACS Chemistry of Materials Award 2022\, MRS Mid-Career Award in 2021\, AICHE Alpha Chi Sigma Award 2021\, ACS Central Science Disruptor and Innovator Prize in 2020\, and the Gibbs Medal by the Chicago session of ACS in 2020. \nBao is a co-founder and on the Board of Directors for C3 Nano and PyrAmes\, both are silicon-valley venture funded start-ups. She serves as an advising Partner for Fusion Venture Capital. \nScott Rozelle is the Helen F. Farnsworth Senior Fellow and the co-director of Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research at Stanford University.  For the past 30 years\, he has worked on the economics of poverty reduction. Currently\, his work on poverty has its full focus on human capital\, including issues of rural health\, nutrition and education. For the past 20 year\, Rozelle has been the chair of the International Advisory Board of the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy\, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Most recently\, Rozelle’s research focuses on the economics of poverty and inequality\, with an emphasis on rural education\, health and nutrition in China. In recognition of this work\, Dr. Rozelle has received numerous honors and awards. Among them\, he became a Yangtse Scholar (Changjiang Xuezhe) in Renmin University of China in 2008.
