Engr. Edgar Clyde R. Lopez and Engr. Jean Raynell S. Bello, both MS Chemical Engineering graduate students, presented their research in the recently concluded 2018 7th International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET 2018), held at the Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications, Beijing China, October 20-22, 2018.
Lopez presented his work entitled "Synthesis of Silver-Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes by Single-Step Anodization for Enhanced Photodegradation of Acid Orange 52," which focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of Ag-doped TiO2 nanotubes in degrading textile dyes in wastewater, particularly the azo dye Acid Orange 52. This study was done together with his adviser, Dr. Jem Valerie D. Perez of the Nanotechnology Research Laboratory, and his co-adviser Dr. Joey D. Ocon, of the Laboratory of Electrochemical Engineering. Their work has been published in Materials Science Forum, a peer-reviewed journal.
This was funded by the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-SEI) and the ADMATEL Research Grant of the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Research and Development for Technology (DOST-PCIEERD).
Meanwhile, Bello presented his work entitled "Effect of Modified Natural Rubber on Morphology, Chemical Structure, and Crystallinity of Electrospun Polyvinylidene Difluoride Nanofibers." Her study focused on modifying natural rubber latex for tissue engineering applications. By adding PVDF, natural rubber latex became more biocompatible without significantly altering its morphology, chemical structure, and crystallinity.
Her study was done together with his adviser, Dr. Jem Valerie D. Perez of the Nanotechnology Research Laboratory, and his co-adviser Dr. Bryan B. Pajarito, of the Polymers Engineering Laboratory. Their work has also been published in Materials Science Forum, a peer-reviewed journal.
Over sixty participants specializing in either chemical engineering, materials science engineering, and engineering technology from various universities across the world joined the conference. Among the invited keynote speakers were Prof. Ramesh K. Agarwal (Washington University, United States of America), Prof.Yonggang Zhu (Harbin Institute of Technology, China), Prof. Sreeramamurthy Ankem (University of Maryland, United States of America), and Prof. Guang Xu (Wuhan University of Science and Technology, China). Assoc. Prof. Aleksey Vedyagin (Boreskov Institute of catalysis SB RAS, Russia & Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia) served as the plenary speaker, whose talk focused on the new trends in automotive exhaust gas purification materials.
