Lecture of the invited professor Masafumi Unno «How to build well-defined silicon materials»
7 November at RUDN University Faculty of Science was red lecture of the invited professor «How to build well-defined silicon materials». Invited lecturer: Masafumi Unno, Doctor, Professor of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and International Education and Research Center for Silicon Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Gunma University, Japan, author of more than 50 works in the field of silicon chemistry.
His research Interests: Synthesis and Application of Silanols, Dye-sensitized Solar Cell, Host - Guest Chemistry of Silanols, Laddersiloxanes. He also was awarded by Incentive Award, The Society of Silicon Chemistry, Japan (1999) and The 7th Yokoyama Scientific Research Award (2004).
Professor Unno in his lectures told about silicone compounds, in particular about silicones and silsesquioxanes, which are widely used in our lives. The recent demand for high-performance materials sharply pushes the research of these compounds to a high level.
In these lectures, professor identified the research of his group over the past two decades and described the synthetic methods, properties, reactions and applications of various well-defined silicon materials.
The students, masters, postgraduate students and professors of the Faculty of Science attended this lecture.
Landfills are the third largest source of anthropogenic methane in the world. They account for ~11% of estimated global emissions. Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and is the second largest driver of man-made climate change. Scientists from around the world met at Zhejiang University's Hangzhou campus to determine the best available technologies for recovering energy and materials from non-recyclable residual waste.
How to make money on wastewater and turn biological mass into clean energy? What is valorization of waste and sludge? How does this process relate to sustainable development? Dr. Kumar Vinod, professor at the Department of Life Sciences at Graphic Era University (India), spoke about water without treading water.
