Silica-Based Materials for Advanced Chemical Applications (Workshop)

Mario Pagliaro, author of Silica-Based Materials, presents a strategic full-day workshop on the numerous usages of functionalized silicas in a wide variety of industrial sectors.

This one-day course combines lecture and discussion. The optimal class size is between 5 and 10, but this tutorial can be structured to accommodate any number of participants.

Who should attend?

The course in intended for industry's top and R&D managers as well as consultants, research chemists and engineers. Attendees are not limited to chemistry specialists; rather general, marketing and product managers can benefit as well.

What you will learn

Topic of this full-day workshop include:

  1. Catalysts for Fine Chemicals
  2. Multifunctional Coatings
  3. Optical Sensors
  4. Microcapsules for Drug Delivery
  5. Therapeutic Films
  6. Hybrid Composites
  7. Bioreactors
  8. Optical UV Screens
  9. Entrapped Reactants
  10. Antifouling Films

Originally used in chromatography, specialized silica gels are one of the hottest topic in industry and technology. Silica sol-gels indeed have evolved into crucially important functional nanomaterials suitable for application to chemical synthesis, analysis, purification, surface protection, drug release and many other advanced applications.

It is estimated that the world's current 1 billion dollar market for sol-gels (mostly silica-based) will grow by more than 5% per year from 2006 to 201. Actually, the prediction was conservative as market grows, and will continue to grow, at a much faster rate.

This Workshop shows why the forecast was wrong and what are the origins of the extraordinary performance of these materials in such a wide variety of fields.
