2016 Frontiers in Particle Science & Technology Conference

CBET -1623943 PI：Jaeger，Heinrich该奖项将支持科学家和工程师参加美国化学工程师学会粒子技术论坛，该论坛将于2016年4月11日至13日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行。该论坛的目标是促进对颗粒磨损的理解，颗粒磨损是指颗粒材料中颗粒的磨损和分解。该论坛将重点讨论如何减轻实验室规模和商业过程中的颗粒磨损以及磨损的潜在应用。该论坛将有来自学术界和工业界的发言者，并将促进学术研究人员与工业界同行之间的联系。支持将提供给新兴的科学家，包括学生，博士后，和初级教师，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，以帮助提高他们的参与。会议的主题将集中在研究和工业实践的界面，将包括工业过程中的颗粒磨损，改进颗粒磨损模型，团聚体的破碎，制药制造中的磨损，颗粒破碎机制的基本原理，以及放大和工业最佳实践。论坛的结果将有助于提高对颗粒磨损的理解，这将导致更高的工艺效率，降低成本，以及磨损的潜在新应用。 鼓励年轻研究人员的参与将满足国家继续培训粒子技术科学未来工作人员的需求，并使下一代研究人员了解这一领域出现的问题。

CBET - 1623943PI: Jaeger, HeinrichThis award will support participation of scientists and engineers at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Particle Technology Forum, which will be held April 11-13, 2016 in Houston, TX. The goal of the forum is to enhance progress in understanding particle attrition, which refers to the wear and breakdown of particles in granular materials. The forum will focus on ways to mitigate particle attrition in bench-scale and commercial processes and on potential applications of attrition. The forum will have a balance of speakers from academia and industry and will be organized to promote connections between academic investigators and their industrial counterparts. Support will be provided to emerging scientists, including students, post-docs, and junior faculty, especially those from underrepresented groups, to help increase their participation.Session topics will focus at the interface of research and industrial practice and will include particle attrition in industrial processes, improving models of particle attrition, breakages of agglomerates, attrition in pharmaceutical manufacturing, fundamentals of particle breakage mechanisms, and scale-up and industrial best practices. Results of the forum will help improve understanding of particle attrition, which will lead to greater process efficiencies, reduced costs, and to potential new applications of attrition. Encouraging the engagement of young investigators will fill a national need to continue to train the future work force in the science of particle technology and expose the next generation of researchers to the problems and questions that arise in this area.
