From goodman at ecn.purdue.edu Wed Apr 9 07:50:28 2008 From: goodman at ecn.purdue.edu (Goodman, Alicia D.) Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:50:28 -0400 Subject: [nano501] Nano 501 Tutorial, Today, Dr. Beaudoin Message-ID: <47FCAD84.6010309@ecn.purdue.edu> Title: "Basics of Particle Adhesion" Dr. Stephen P. Beaudoin, Purdue University Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 2:30 pm EE 317 Abstract: This presentation will describe the adhesion of rough, asymmetric particles with micro- to nano-scale dimension to solid surfaces. These adhesion processes are of great interest in microelectronics and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The presentation will include experimental and theoretical and modeling descriptions of the particle adhesion. Modeling and simulation results interpret the observed adhesion in terms of continuum force descriptions, including van der Waals and electrostatic forces Bio: Stephen P. Beaudoin received a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1995, an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990, and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988. He taught for 7 years in the Department of Chemical, Bio, and Materials Engineering at Arizona State University before joining the faculty at Purdue in 2003. He currently serves as a Professor and Associate Head of the School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue, and was recently named a Purdue University Faculty Scholar. -- Alicia Goodman Administrative Assistant Network for Computational Nanotechnology Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 West State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907 Phone: 765-494-7715 Fax: 765-494-0811 email: goodman at purdue.edu website: www.nanoHUB.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
