[Meet the Speakers, Keynote] Professor Andrzej Kotarba, Jagiellonian University, Poland (EFCATS 2023 Francois Gault Lectureship Award recipient) will provide a keynote address at the 34th Annual CATSA conference, 3-6 November 2024. The primary focus of Prof Kotarba’s research is catalysis with a goal to understand processes at solid/gas interfaces and apply this knowledge to design surfaces with specific properties. This includes preparing new solid materials, surface modifications, and studying reactivity such as catalytic screening. His motivation stems from both fundamental (interaction of small molecules with surfaces, surface electronic properties) and applied aspects (catalyst surface characterization, patenting new catalytic materials, engineering metal implant surfaces).

💪 👨🎓 PhD student from Łukasiewicz – Krakow Institute of Technology participated at FEMS Junior EUROMAT 2024 conference in Manchester 📢 Filip Kateusz from the Center of Materials and Manufacturing Technology managed by Rafał Nowak, D. Eng presented a poster on his project entitled “Synthesis of gradient C/C-SiOC composites with improved thermal degradation resistance”. 👉 This project explores new carbon-carbon composites with a gradient-distributed SiOC phase. The inclusion of the oxycarbide phase enhances resistance to thermal degradation in atmospheric air, while maintaining the desirable properties of traditional carbon-carbon composites, such as high heat capacity and relatively low density. The poster highlighted the project's goals and motivation, proposed a novel materials synthesis route, and outlined the next steps in the investigation. The project is supported by Rymatex., which provides high-quality carbon fibers, and IMCD Group, a distributor of polysiloxane resin used as an organic precursor. 👨🔬 This research is financed by the Polish state budget under Ministry of Science and Higher Education's Pearls of Science I program, project no.

The Nobel Prize Daily #Chemistry #year1999 for his studies of the transition states of chemical reactions using femtosecond spectroscopy Your Majesties, Your Royal Highness, Ladies and Gentlemen, We chemists want to understand molecules and their intrinsic essence, and to be able to predict what happens when molecules meet – do they attach weakly to each other or do they react passionately to form new molecules? Not least, we want to understand the complicated chemistry called life. Through a revolution in knowledge, molecules today take center stage in all fields, from biology and medicine through environmental sciences, and technology. The heart of chemistry is the chemical reaction, meaning the breaking and formation of chemical bonds between atoms. How then do chemical reactions occur? We all know that they can proceed at different rates – compare the time it takes a nail to rust with explosion of dynamite! Alfred Nobel knew that reaction rates are important; dynamite reacts too rapidly to be used in cannons – they would blow up. He also knew that chemical reactions proceed at greater speed at higher temperatures, but he did not see why. This was, however, realized by the docent of physical chemistry in Uppsala, Svante Arrhenius. Inspired by the Dutch scientist Jacobus van’t Hoff (the first Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1901), Arrhenius presented the first theory on reaction rates and an equation for their temperature dependence that has been used for more than a hundred years now. Arrhenius was himself awarded the third Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1903), but for different achievements. Science has always strived to see smaller and smaller things and faster and faster events. Since the time of Arrhenius a number of methods have been developed to measure increasingly faster reaction rates, many of them rewarded with Nobel Prizes. However, no one had, until recently, been able to observe what actually happens to the reacting molecule as it passes through its so-called transition state, a metaphor for a kind of intermediate state of the reaction in which bonds are broken and formed. This remained a misty no-man’s land. The molecule passes the transition state as fast as the atoms in the molecule move. They move at a speed of the order of 1000 m/second – about as fast as a rifle bullet – and the time required for the atoms to move slightly within the molecule is typically tens of femtoseconds (1 fs = 10-15 seconds). Only few believed that such fast events would ever be possible to see. This, however, is exactly what Ahmed Zewail has managed to do. Twelve years ago he published results that gave birth to the scientific field called femtochemistry. This can be described as using the fastest camera in the world to film the molecules during the reaction and to get a sharp picture of the transition state. His “camera” is a laser technique with light flashes of only a few tens of femtoseconds in duration. The reaction is initiated by a...
