PDILF – S Abbott – Particle Dispersion for Formulators

Particle Dispersion for FormulatorsProfessor Steven Abbottsteven@stevenabbott.co.uk For too long, the particle formulation community has had to work with inadequate formulation tools. Things are now changing for two reasons. First, a lot of the knowledge is available in free apps, demonstrated live during the talks. Second, the community is realising that the solubility science approach is […]

MSIF20 – C Adjiman – The role of model-based optimisation in designing formulations

The role of model-based optimisation in designing formulations Claire AdjimanDepartment of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London The need for extensive experimental campaigns to design new formulations can lead to high development costs and, in cases where new materials are involved (e.g., a new active pharmaceutical ingredient) and there is therefore limited supply. Planning an experimental […]

MSIF20 – C Fonte – Modelling and simulation of application involving the dispensing of rheologically complex liquids

Modelling and simulation of applications involving the dispensing of rheologically complex liquids Claudio P. FonteDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science, The University of Manchester The ejection of rheologically complex liquids through round nozzles is a commonplace process in many industrial applications from inkjet printing and additive manufacture, to the dispensing of pharmaceutical and personal […]

MSIF20 – Z Alam – Virtual Design of Laundry Formulations

Virtual Design of Laundry Formulations Zayeed Alam Director, Data & Modeling Sciences, Corporate Functions, Procter & Gamble There are a range of technical and complexity challenges involved in designing a laundry detergent. Zayeed will touch on each of these and illustrate how at P&G his team have to date partnered externally to develop and leverage […]

MSIF20 – B OConchuir – The Role of Topology in Formulation Modelling and Simulation

The Role of Topology in Formulation Modelling and Simulation Dr Breanndán Ó ConchúirIBM Research In this emerging era of data-driven material discovery, the application of mathematical methods is playing an increasingly important role in chemical formulation modelling and simulation. In particular, algorithms from the field of topology can be used to complement the scientific insights […]

MSIF20 – M Sarwar – Computational Chemistry: An Industrial Perspective

Computational Chemistry : An Industrial Perspective Misbah SarwarJohnson Matthey This talk will give an overview of how multiscale modelling approaches are used to understand formulations used in automotive catalysis to reduce emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles. Cu zeolites are used to reduce NOx from diesel emissions and the talk will show how DFT simulations […]

MSIF20 – V Ginzburg – Using First-Principles Multi-Scale Modelling to Design Rheology Modifiers for Waterborne Paints

Using First-Principles Multi-Scale Modeling to Design Rheology Modifiers for Waterborne Paints Valeriy GinzburgDow Inc. (retired) Modern paints are complex mixtures comprised of multiple components such as water, pigments, latex binders, dispersants, rheology modifiers or thickeners, and others. This presentation is specifically devoted to the use of modeling to understand the rheology and colloidal stability of […]

MSIF20 – L Mazzei – Modelling and Simulation Applied to Sonocrystallization in Continuous-Flow Millichannel Contractors

Modelling and Simulation Applied to Sonocrystallization in Continuous-Flow Millichannel Contactors Luca MazzeiDepartment of Chemical Engineering, University College London, UK Crystallization is widely employed in pharmaceuticals manufacturing; over 90% of all pharmaceutical products contain drugs in particulate, and usually crystalline, form. Typically, crystallizers are standard agitated vessels, and seeding is used to direct and control the […]
