SEMINAR - “Engineering Smart Hydrogels on Multiple Length Scales for Biomedical and Biosensing Applications” by Todd Hoare, Associate Professor and University Scholar, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON
ABSTRACT: While multiple types of smart, environmentally-responsive materials have been explored for a variety of biomedical applications (e.g. drug delivery, tissue engineering, bioimaging, etc.), their ultimate clinical use has been hampered by their lack of biologically-relevant degradation as well as challenges regarding their non-surgical administration to the body. These factors have particularly limited the clinical use of temperature-responsive hydrogels, which are either highly labile in diluting environments like the body (e.g.

Seminar - “Carbon-Based Nanomaterials Studies at PPL: Tuning Synthesis Process to Applications (Graphene, Carbon Nanotubes, and Nanofluids)” by J.-L. Meunier, Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Plasma Processing Laboratory (PPL), McGill
ABSTRACT: Thermal plasma (TP) reactors are used extensively for the generation of particles having specific compositions or phase structures, while nanoparticles (NPs) are also being generated using precursors that are either in the gas phase, in liquid solutions or even sometimes in the solid phase. More difficult is the controlled homogeneous nucleation of pure nanomaterials, or controlled two-step systems for heterogeneous nucleation of materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). One material of strong interest is the bi-dimensional structure of graphene.
