1. Molecular Thermodynamic Models for Nano-Micro Fluid/Solid Interfaces
Abstract : Introducing materials with large interfaces to enhance process performance has become a feature of advanced chemical engineering, where the research focus has been changed from the traditional ideal isotropic fluid in the bulk phase to the highly non-ideal anisotropic confined fluid on the nano-micro interfaces, owing to the strong and asymmetric interactions between the complex fluids (supported metal nanoparticles, ionic liquids, proteins, etc.) and the sophisticated solid-surface (roughness, electrostatic effects, chemical heterogeneities, etc. READ MORE

2. Molecular Simulations of Microstructure, Thermodynamics, and Dynamics of Complex Liquid Mixtures at Interfaces and Confined Spaces
Abstract : In modern chemical engineering, process intensification is realised by introducing a nano- or micro-interface. The introduction of such an interface breaks the homogeneous nature of the fluid and forms a unique nano- or micro-interfacial structure, which has a significant impact on the properties of fluids.

3. Modeling ionic liquids with ePC-SAFT ─ properties and gas solubilities
Abstract : Global warming is now widely recognized as being the biggest global issue facing human beings. Mitigating CO2 emission from fossil-fueled power plants as well as from transports has become an urgent and worldwide research topic, in which CO2 separation is often needed. READ MORE

4. Influence of Admixtures on Crystal Nucleation of Vanillin
Abstract : Admixtures like reactants and byproducts are solublenon-crystallizing compounds that can be present in industrialsolutions and affect crystallization of the main substance.This thesis provides experimental and molecular modellingresults on the influence of admixtures on crystal nucleation ofvanillin (VAN).

5. Alternative Energy Harvesting and Conversion Systems Based on Nanostructured Heterostructures
Abstract : Conversion and storage of the solar radiation into applicable forms of energy, using ubiquitous materials is of central importance that quests several disciplinary fields in both applied technology and fundamental science. Harnessing the solar energy received by the earth has the potential to replace the current sources of energy and it is imperative for sustainable development. READ MORE
