Designing Polyelectrolyte Coatings: Coacervates, Assemblies, and Complex Materials

Carbon capture (CCS) has become an important economic, industrial and environmental issue. However, there are technical aspects you may not understand because they typically aren’t covered in undergraduate curriculums. Attend this sponsored webinar if you not only design and operate a CCS plant, but also are expected to optimize or troubleshoot operations.

Removal of iron oxides/sulfides (black powder) in natural gas feeds to ethylene and ammonia plants is a key challenge in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Equally challenging is the removal of water/brine from liquid feeds such as naphtha, propane and propylene. This webinar will review advanced filtration and separation technologies used to remove solid contaminants from gas feeds and water from liquid feeds. Emphasis will be placed on plant optimization and performance.

Learn how Protacs work for targeted protein degradation to widen the spectrum of targetable proteins Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging drug discovery strategy that allows access to difficult-to-treat diseases. While traditional small-molecule drugs may only allow access to ~20% of the proteome, degradation techniques may open the door to the other 80%. Proteolysis targeting chimeras (Protacs) are an attractive new means of protein degradation, and work catalytically at sub-stoichiometric levels over an extended length of time. These tools have the potential to widen the spectrum of targetable proteins, including proteins that have proven intractable to traditional approaches.

There are in-built uncertainties in the data that we collect and the predictions that we make when developing chemicals, materials, or formulations. But that should not stop us from making good decisions using this information.
