Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Towards the Scalable Manufacturing of Nitrate Ion-Selective Electrodes" By M. Ramazan Oduncu Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisors: Professor Alexander Wei and Professor Mukerrem Cakmak ABSTRACT Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) are from electrochemical sensors family with the longest history of more than 90 years and the most common application of chemical sensors. ISEs applications have been routinely used as an analytical technique in various fields such as process control, clinical and environmental analysis and physiology. The history of ISEs has begun with the invention of pH electrodes by Haber and Klemensienwicz. Then, these electrodes have been used more frequently after glass pH electrodes and pH meters haven been manufactured commercially in late 1930s. Analysis via ISEs is advantageous since it does not require any sample pretreatment and it provides the opportunity of continuous monitoring in environmental, clinical and industrial applications. Polymeric membrane based ISEs comprised of neutral or charged carriers (ionophores) are able to detect a large number of inorganic and organic ions. Starting early 2000s, ISEs chemical sensing capabilities have evolved because of the improvement in lower detection limit, new sensing concepts and materials, and deeper understanding in theory of potentiometric response. This seminar will cover the components of ISEs, potentiometric response of a sensor and fabrication of a solid-contact, ion-exchanger based NO3-(nitrate) ion selective membrane onto ink-jet printed Ag electrodes. Then, the route to scalable manufacturing (roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing) of ISEs will be discussed. Date: Thursday, May 31, 2018 Time: 10:00 A.M. Place: ARMS 1021

Fwd: Showcase Your Work at Technological Innovations for Optimal Aging: Sept. 28 Symposium
by Donna Bystrom 30 May '18

30 May '18

Dear Colleagues, On September 28, 2018, the Center on Aging and the Life Course (CALC <https://www.purdue.edu/aging/>) will hold a symposium titled: /Technological Innovations for Optimal Aging/. As part of the event, we plan to showcase the creativity of Purdue personnel who are addressing this topic. The inventions may include devices or processes such as technological or pharmaceutical innovations. We seek participants who want to highlight their research and/or technology. *There are several opportunities to showcase your research or product*. We plan to feature Purdue-affiliated faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and students in an exhibit session, poster session, and podium presentations. The CALC symposium normally attracts more than 100 participants so this is a fantastic opportunity to share your work. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this very brief survey <https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eaFzxuvtyb6JtaJ> (or copy and paste the link below into your browser) by *June 30, 2018*. https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eaFzxuvtyb6JtaJ Thank you for your consideration.

Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Solid-Solution Strengthening in FCC Concentrated Complex Alloys" By Chia-Hsiu Chang Purdue MSE M.S. Final Exam Advisor: Professor Michael S. Titus ABSTRACT Concentrated complex alloys (CCAs) were recently proposed as a novel class of new alloys, and they are defined as alloys composed of four or more alloying elements without a majority concentration or "base" element, for example Co1Fe1Mn1Ni1. Oftentimes, researchers aim to synthesize CCAs exhibiting a single solid-solution phase (e.g. fcc or bcc) because of the significant solid-solution strengthening provided by the high concentration of many solute elements. However, the strengthening mechanisms of CCAs are not clear at present. A new theory for predicting the yield strength of fcc CCAs has recently developed. Our study hypothesizes that CCAs could be treated as pseudo-binary alloys, in which the "solvent" is a given CCA and the solute is the final alloying element, and comparisons between predicted and experimental results based on the new model will be discussed. .
