Tutorial Details
Wednesday, June 7, 2017 - Temple SERC
-
Session 1: 8:00-10:00 – General Introduction to Silicon Chemistry and Organo-Silanes in Organic Synthesis - Alan Bassindale, Open University UK & Jerry Larson, Gelest, Inc.
An overview of the general properties, reactivities, syntheses, and bonding characteristics of inorganic and organic chemistry of silicon will be presented. The applications of organosilicon chemistry to synthetic organic transformations will be presented. Silicon-based reductions and silicon-based cross-coupling chemistry will be emphasized.
-
Session 2: 10:15-12:15 – Introduction to Silicon and Polymer Science - Judy Riffle, Virginia Tech & François Ganachaud, CNRS France
This tutorial will focus on the fundamentals of polymer science with an emphasis on siloxane-based polymers. Topics will include: Introduction to polymer science, kinetic and thermodynamic-driven polymerization of siloxanes, functionalization of siloxane-based polymers, silicone elastomer formulation and properties.
-
Session 3: 14:00-17:00 – Silicon Nanotechnology - Michael Sailor, UCSD
The synthesis, properties, and applications of porous silicon-based nanomaterials will be described. Topics will include: Introduction to porous silicon—background and overview; Etching and electrochemistry of silicon; Photoluminescent Si quantum dots; Nanoparticles; Nanowires; and Applications. The tutorial will involve a hands-on experiment where participants will prepare their own photoluminescent silicon nanostructure by electrochemical etch of a silicon wafer.
-
Session 4: 14:00-16:00 – Silicones Used in Colored Cosmetic Products - Anjali Patil, Chanel & Jane Hollenberg, JCH Consulting
Cosmetic products are a delicate balance between art and science. Silicones are used in the majority of cosmetic and personal care products due to their unique sensorial properties, such as emolliency, spreadability, non-occlusive nature, wash-off resistance and long wear. First introduced into color cosmetics in the early 1980's, silicone and later silane surface treatments have been used to improve pigment and filler performance in personal care products. Most simply, a silicone coating improves the feel of a product on the skin, a fundamental concern of any cosmetic chemist. By changing the functional groups on the treatment molecules, pigment properties such as wetting, vehicle absorption, and adhesion, can be controlled to suit a variety of vehicles and product forms. The talk will cover the types of personal care formulations which may contain surface treated materials, examples of the silicones and silanes used, and the effect the treatment compounds have on the formulations.
