April
Electrochemistry with Model Thin Film Polymer Electrolytes
April 29, 2021 11:00 AM EST (US & Canada) ZOOM EventPresented by Dr. Chris Arges, Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge
Polymer electrolytes are important material components to the efficiency of numerous electrochemical processes. This webinar will be presented in two parts:
- Part 1 of this talk presents the impetus behind the re-emergence of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells for vehicular applications.
- Part 2 of the talk presents our work on probing the ionic activity coefficients in thin film polymer electrolytes interfaced with liquid aqueous electrolytes using advanced metrology (e.g., environmental GI-SAXS and QCM) and classical molecular dynamics simulations.
May
Corrosion Resistance of Metals for Orthopedic Implants in Simulated Synovial Fluids under Inflammatory Conditions
May 20, 2021 11:00 AM EST (US & Canada) ZOOM EventThe talk will include studies of electrochemical measurements on two metals for implants (CoCrMo-alloy and a high nitrogen austenitic steel), with a part focused on Rp results from LPR measurements.
Presented by Simona Radice, PhD, Research Engineer - Rush University Medical Center
Simona Radice is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the Orthopedic Department at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago (USA). She obtained her master degree in Biomechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in 1998, in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (Germany), and her PhD degree in Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (Switzerland) in 2009.
Her specialized research and industrial experience in the field of Orthopedic Implants has matured over the years by working as employee and research assistant at the AO/ASIF Research Institute in Switzerland, the Company Mathys Italia S.r.l. in Italy, and the laboratory of Metallurgical Chemistry at the EPFL Lausanne (Switzerland).
