Global Summit on Chemistry and Chemical Enggineering


Physical Chemistry


Dr. PATIL SHIVAJIRAO RAGHUNATH has made significant contribution in Bio-analytical Chemistry and Material Science by publishing 75 articles in the research journals of national and international repute. In addition, he has also contributed in teaching, curriculum and extracurricular activities of the home university and other universities of Maharashtra State. 

Dr. Patil was visiting Professor to Department of Chemistry, Hanyang University, South Korea during March 2010 to June 2010. The analytical methods based on Fluorescence off-on approach developed for determination of Drugs, Bio-molecules like Vitamins, components of DNA etc and molecular interaction studies between Drug and Bio-molecules have received appreciating citations. The work on organic nano-particles (NPs) for development of Bio-analytical technique and bio-chemical imaging is of interest. Dr.Patil is reviewer for international journals and currently Member of the Editorial Board of “Journal of Luminescence and Applications” a Journal of Columbia International Publishing USA. 

Being an invited keynote speaker at The Global Summit on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Conference held by Scientific Federation. He is going to talk about “Preparation and characterization of Fluorescent Organic Nano particles (FONs) for chemical, biochemical detection and imaging.” A brief summary is presented here.

The development of increasingly selective and sensitive methods for the determination of chemical, biochemical analyzes species currently receiving considerable attention. Fluorescence spectroscopy has become a commanding tool for sensing and imaging trace amounts of species because of its simplicity and high sensitivity. The fluorescence method has obvious advantages in sensitivity, selectivity and real-time in situ detection. FONs of the low molecular weight materials exhibit improved photo stability and enhanced emission. It is worth noting that FONs have high stability in aqueous solution, thus providing convenience for chemical and biological testing in aqueous solution. These organic materials have certain advantages of well-defined molecular structures, easier preparation and purification, amenability to large-scale production, and better batch-to- batch reproducibility. 

The design and synthesis of fluorescent organic nano sensors with high selectivity and sensitivity of detection continue to grow in the research field. The organic nano particles will be characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), Infra-Red (IR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods. The studies on photo physical performance of the nano particles will help to explore the binding ability of fictionalized nano particles with analyte of interest. Mechanism of binding could be proposed on the basis of fluorescence change, Zeta potential, anodic and cathodic peak potential obtained on cyclic voltammetry.

Global Summit on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Catalysis & Reaction Engineering

          The Scientific Federation delighted to welcome you to Global Summit on Chemistry & Chemical Engineering which will be held on February 26-27 at Abu Dhabi, UAE. This brings you an immense opportunity to be a part of scientific acceleration to world class personalities, young scholars, scientific delegates and young scientists to join in this forum to utilize the expertise and novelties that brings a new era for innovations in the field of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering which brings well versed scrutinizers at one place. It provides a platform to have open discussions, knowledge sharing and interactive sessions with field experts at GSCCE-2018.
              Chemical reactions lie at the heart of processes where molecules are transformed from raw materials to useful products and energy. For the economic utilization of such chemical transformations the unit where they are performed (the reactor) needs to be carefully designed accounting for kinetics, hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer. 
               Catalysis plays a significant role in many of these transformations, leading to more efficient and greener processing routes. Catalysts are complex materials that have to satisfy many criteria on multiple scales, in order to be successfully used in catalytic processes. For this purpose an integrated approach, taking into account sustainability and scalability considerations, and combining modeling and experiments, catalysis science and chemical engineering is required.  Phenomena at all length scales interact, and for this reason simultaneous catalyst and reactor design is the best route towards optimal performance. We employ a multi-scale (in space and time) design approach that ranges from the microscopic atomistic scale to the macroscopic scale of the reactor. Modeling and experiments are utilized at the various length scales, including sophisticated spectroscopic techniques, quantum and statistical mechanics, process intensification tools and inspiration from nature. 
              The reactor technologies, catalytic materials and fundamental knowledge developed by the group find applications in diverse areas. These include manufacturing of chemicals, chemical intermediates, pharmaceuticals and nano materials, which find use from consumer products to healthcare. A comprehensive range of applications in the energy domain, such as hydrogen production from water, driven by solar energy or electrolysis, fuel cells, batteries, production of fuels from waste materials or carbon dioxide, and applications that seek to increase energy efficiency are also explored. Particular areas of interest within the group include catalytic pyrolysis, electro catalysis, and micro reactor technology and photo catalysis.

        The Polymers and Complex Fluids Group develops measurement methods, models, data, standards, and science for soft materials, such as multi-phase fluids, gels, and composites, and their constituent components, such as polymeric molecules, nano particles, colloids, and fibers. The Complex Fluids and Theoretical Polymer Physics group focuses on the structure and dynamics of complex fluids, with polymeric fluids being the overarching theme. The study of polymers and complex fluids is an active area of research within our department and is tightly interwoven with other areas. Topics of current interest include thermodynamic modeling of gelation and crystallization of nano particles in a variety of complex fluids, rheology of polymers and colloids, structure-property-processing relationships in polymers and composites.

             Polymers are ubiquitous in modern life, as are complex fluids – soft materials with properties between those of liquids and solids. Researchers in the Chemical Engineering Department are developing polymer films for use in energy conversion, new polymers for flexible solar cells, membranes and medical devices, and polymer coatings that change properties when exposed to stimuli. The research in this area includes rheology studies, molecular simulation, colloid self-assembly, gelation and percolation.

             The Polymer and Complex Fluids Group at the Colorado School of Mines combines expertise in the areas of flow and field based transport, intelligent design and synthesis as well as nano materials and nanotechnology. The faculty of the Polymer and Complex Fluids Group hold appointments in the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering. A wide range of research tools employed by the group includes characterization using rheology, scattering, micro fluidics and field flow fractionation (FFF), synthesis of novel branched macromolecules and polymer brushes as well as theory and simulation involving molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo approaches.
