Unless otherwise noted, all seminars are held on Wednesdays in the Molecular Science and Engineering Building (\u0022M\u0022 Building) in G011 (Cherry Logan Emerson Lecture Theater) at 4 p.m. Refreshments are served at 3:30 p.m. in the Emerson-Lewis Reception Salon.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENOTE:\u003C\/strong\u003E This seminar is being held in Room W200 of the Van Leer Building.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E_____________\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0022Controlling Crystal Growth for Organic Electronics and Pharmaceutical Applications\u0022\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGaurav Giri, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EUnderstanding and controlling crystal formation of inorganic and organic molecules are essential for many emerging applications and technologies, such as organic electronics and pharmaceuticals. This seminar first describes the use of controlled metastable polymorphism in organic semiconductor (OSC) crystals through solution deposition processes. The origin of metastable polymorphism is studied using high speed, in-situ optical imaging and X-ray diffraction. I then describe how concepts of crystal polymorphism and growth can be applied for industrial applications. I show that selective deposition of OSCs can be utilized to create high performance polymorphs and functional organic circuits. Then, I explain how controlling the crystal growth profile of products or byproducts can improve continuous manufacturing of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals using microfluidic platforms.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ChBE hosts a weekly seminar throughout the year with invited lecturers who are prominent in their fields."}],"uid":"28045","created_gmt":"2015-01-27 13:02:24","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:11:27","author":"Amy Schneider","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-02-12T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-02-12T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-02-12T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-02-12 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-02-12 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-02-12 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1240","name":"School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAmy Schneider\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Chemical \u0026amp; Biomolecular Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E(404) 385-2299\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:news@chbe.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Einfo@chbe.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
