This talk will present an overview of leading precipitation processes for the synthesis of nanostructured ceramic and metallic powders, with special emphasis placed on reverse micelle synthesis for the preparation of oxides and combustion synthesis for the preparation of borides. Specific examples will include the preparation of yttria-doped zirconia (Y-ZrO2) and lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6). The talk will also describe advanced sintering techniques for nanostructured materials.

Global pressures are affecting the quality and quantity of potable water supplies, leading to a growing need for technologies which can contribute to direct and indirect reuse of water, as well as the treatment of lower-quality source water. Low-pressure membrane filtration has great promise as part of the solution to this problem but often suffers fouling due to chemical build-up and biofilms at the membrane surface. This presentation describes a series of studies which incorporate titanium dioxide photocatalysts for the prevention of bacterial attachment and biofilm formation at ceramic filtration membrane surfaces. |
