by Johnson, Beverly J 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Good morning, Please join me in congratulating Professor Rajamani Gounder for winning the Outstanding Faculty Mentor of Engineering Graduate Students Award this year! Here is a short statement recognizing Prof. Gounder for his commitment to mentorship: Professor Rajamani Gounder is recognized for his excellence in the mentorship of graduate students, in addition to all who cross his path, including undergraduates, postdocs, and collaborators. Prof. Gounder tailors his mentorship for individualized development towards one's academic and professional goals. In the stressful graduate school environment, Prof. Gounder has advocated for good mental health and work-life harmony as he supports his students pursuing other passions outside of research. There were several Professors who were in this year's running which goes to show we have some truly outstanding mentors in our department. Thank you to all who put the time and effort into nominating. Bev Johnson Graduate Program Administrator Chemical Engineering Forney Hall 2037D Purdue University 765-494-4057 [P bling]

ISP Recertification of our School
by Nagy, Gabriela 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to let you know that following the Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) recertification meeting with REM representatives on Monday, March 1st , 2021, followed by safety inspection of selected ChE labs and corrections of identified deficiencies, our School was ISP recertified for another year. The signed, official recertification document was made available to me today. Some of the deficiencies identified during lab inspections were: "gas cylinder stored without a cap", "open hazardous solid waste container" and "open contaminated sharps container", "unlabeled hazardous chemical container". Reminders: 1. Gas cylinders stored in the lab (not in use) should not have a regulator attached, and must to be capped at all times. They also need to be secured in a specially designed cage/bracket and kept in place with a chain/strap that should be at about 2/3 of the cylinder height. 2. ALL hazardous waste containers, including solid waste and contaminated sharps, have to be CLOSED at all times, apart from when adding waste to the container. 3. For solid hazardous waste, including contaminates sharps, you can determine if the container is closed properly by answering this simple question: "If the container is accidentally knocked over, will the waste/sharps remain contained?" If the answer to this question is NO, then you need to seal the container in a different way, so that the answer to the question will be YES. 4. All hazardous waste container have to be labeled with the orange "Hazardous waste disposal tag" label when the first drop of chemical waste (or first solid waste/contaminated sharp) is added to the container. The label should be updated when new waste is added. Please don't mix incompatible waste streams. Solid waste needs to be collected separately from contaminated sharps. At the same time, please remember that razor blades and needles need to be collected separately from regular sharps (broken glass, pipette tips, etc.). Thank you for your efforts in making this possible and for your sustained commitment to safety! Sincerely, Gabriela on behalf of ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Lessons learned - summary of safety incidents in FRNY (February-March 2021)
by Nagy, Gabriela 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you two recent safety incidents reported to me from the start of the 2021 calendar year (see attached document). The general recommendations at the end of the document provide good information for preventing safety incidents from happening. I am also sharing the "Gas Cylinder Handling Procedures for FRNY" document (last updates in July 2020) which is also available on our website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/index_html) under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" section. Please familiarize yourself with the information in this important document. Stay safe, and should you have any questions, please let me know.

Changes to First Report of Injury (FROI) form submission process
by Nagy, Gabriela 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Hello everyone, Please be advised that the mechanism of reporting work related injuries has changed, and the "First Report of Injury" (FROI) form is now completed and sent directly through DocuSign. The FROI form must be completed when a work-related injury occurs on the Purdue University campus. All injuries, regardless of how slight, must be reported to your supervisor immediately, but no longer than 24 hours after the injury. Upon notification of the injury, the supervisor will need to complete and submit the FROI via DocuSign, no later than 24 hours from when the injury was reported to them. Please follow the instructions on the DocuSign page and send me a copy of the document once submission is confirmed. More information at these links: https://www.purdue.edu/administrative-operations/news/2021/021921-froi-upda… https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/froi/ai.html Thank you for your commitment to safety!

Covid-19 impacted spaces in FRNY
by Nagy, Gabriela 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Dear faculty, staff, and students, I have been notified last night that there is a COVID-19 positive test result for a member of our research community. This email is to inform you that the research spaces accessed by this researcher after their initial exposure to the virus, FRNY 1120 and FRNY 1190, are closed today for disinfection according to the Purdue prescribed procedures (see the cleaning and disnfecting guidelines at this link: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/worker/covid19/cleaningguide.pdf) These research spaces will return to normal operations after disinfection is completed, most likely starting tomorrow morning (2/23). Be assured that although these spaces are closed for disinfection, FRNY continues to be a safe place for teaching and research. Thank you for your commitment to the health and safety of our CHE community!

Thesis Defense Announcement for Jason Wickham - Today
by Johnson, Beverly J 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

This email is to announce that Jason Wickham, will be defending his thesis: The Role of Adhesion in the Formation of Hot Spots in Energetic Materials Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 4:00 PM. The dissertation is directed by Dr. Steve Beaudoin and Dr. Steve Son. The abstract and WebEx info are below, and all are welcome to attend. The transformation of mechanical energy into thermal energy within composite energetic materials through various thermomechanical mechanisms is thought to lead to the creation of localized areas of intense heating. The growth of these “hot spots” is responsible for the bulk reaction or decomposition of the energetic material. Understanding the formation and growth of these hot spots has been an active area of research particularly for high-speed impact and shock conditions, but further work remains to be done in particular with respect to hot spot formation due to periodic mechanical excitation. Previous literature has established that many potential thermomechanical mechanisms may act at the interface between the constituent components of a composite energetic material. In order to provide further insight and guidance into the design of safer and more resilient energetic materials, the role of adhesion on hot spot formation for polymer bonded explosives (PBXs), a subset of composite energetic materials, was explored. Single HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane) crystals in polymer blocks were subjected to ultrasonic excitation and subsequent heating was captured via infrared thermography. Subsequent testing of HMX PBXs using a drop weight tower captured changes in the sensitivity of the energetic material. Variation of the polymer binder allowed for a range of adhesive and mechanical properties to be examined. These experiments on the role of adhesion under these kinds of excitations provided insight into how mechanical energy is being transformed into localized heating.
