CSChE2018 Plenary Lecture - Engineering Precision Biomaterials forRegenerative MedicineKristi Anseth, University of Colorado Boulder





As the demand for precision medicine continues to rise, the “one-size fits all” approach to the design of medical devices and therapies totreat specific diseases and injuries is becoming increasingly outdated. Biomaterials have significant potential for transforming precisionmedicine, but individual complexity of patients often necessitates integrating multiple functions into a single biomaterial to successfullytailor personalized therapies. With this increasing complexity, engineering principles based on unit operations can aid in the design ofprecision biomaterials for advanced regenerative medicine products. This talk will provide specific examples where biologically responsiveand multifunctional biomaterials can be integrated into devices that precisely and adaptably react to a patient’s cells or specific diseasecondition. These concepts will be placed in the broader context of next generation medical products that focus on repairing andreconstituting injured or diseased tissue structure and function.

Symposia/Special Sessions/Technical Tracks/Student Competition: B3 Process Safety Management Oral or Poster presentation: Oral Abstract:

Historically when people think about how process safety contributed to a business they think about the cost associated with implemen�ngcontrols rather then the cost that business can incur due to a process safety event. This is because the events are rare and therefore arediscounted. Both of these aspects reflect a cost only to the business, and it does not take into account the posi�v e contribu�on pr ocess safetycan make to the sustainability of a business. This presenta�on will discuss ho w process safety can actually add value to a business, not justcost and support the overall sustainability of the opera�on.

Symposia/Special Sessions/Technical Tracks/Student Competition: C8 Microfluidics and Nanotechnology Oral or Poster presentation: Oral Abstract: In the carbon constrained world today, climate change, long-term energy supply, clean water and environment are among the top tenchallenges humanity is facing in the next century. Demands are growing for innovative technologies for renewable energy generation andstorage as well as CO capture and utilisation. Sustainable energy and associated clean technologies are not only big challenges but alsogreat business opportunities globally. Underpinning the strong development in such a “cleantech” sector are innovations in new materialsand devices often enabled by advances in nanoscience and nanomaterials, as well as advanced manufacturing processes.

There have been many breakthroughs in new nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, new photocatalytic materials andthermoelectrics. However, due to the slow progress and costs associated with scale-up production, there have been a little prospect for akiller application of nanomaterials in energy conversion and storage systems or devices. In this talk, I will give an overview of the latestenergy materials being developed and enabled by nanotechnology, and show examples of their promising applications at laboratory andpilot scales. Key issues and pathways to commercial development of energy materials will be highlighted in this paper.

Info

Oral or Poster presentation: Oral Abstract: Chemical Engineers play an important role in the development worldwide, bringing quality of life and development for the populationwhereas taking care of the planet resources. Nowadays with the environmental concern and the need to spread development all aroundthe word new emphasis has to be given for different feedstock besides conventional sources as oil and coal. In this context, biomass maybe a valuable feedstock for fuels, chemicals and energy. As it is strongly recognized that environmental changes imply in the reduction ofGreen House Gas emissions, there are enormous incentives to have new paradigms and process that are not only friendly to humanbeing, but are very attractive economically. Perspectives and new processes based on renewable feedstock will be presented anddiscussed.

Info

Oral or Poster presentation: Oral Abstract: Global emissions from the energy and industrial sectors totaled 32.1 GT last year, as many industrial processes require large amounts ofheat and mechanical power. In the European Union, for example, the industrial sector alone accounts for more than 27% of final energyconsumption. On the other hand, energy is abundant, free and available almost everywhere thanks to solar radiation. Indeed, cleanelectricity is now very cheap. The cost of producing renewable electricity from solar and wind energy has dropped by 99% since 1976.Sustainable energy is available at less than $ 0.05 per kWh. Therefore, to reduce CO2 emissions and achieve more efficient processes,more clean electricity must be used in industrial processes, especially thermal ones.

Clean electricity will therefore be at the heart of any process development. Thus, in the near future, microwaves, induction heating andultrasound will be used more and more in new processes as well thermal, chemical, catalytic as biological.

In this presentation, we will discuss how the second principle of thermodynamics needs to be improved by using this clean electricityconcept and we will focus on the use of microwaves in different industrial processes. In particular, we will discuss the use of microwaves inthe development of new industrial processes. We will discuss the benefits and limitations of microwave heating and give many examplesin the chemical industries. As application examples, we will talk about successful industry-university collaborations that incorporatelessons from nature to manage plastic waste (decomposition of Polystyrene to Styrene) and natural gas upgrading (Dry Reforming).
