3 May 2010
Another nice publication!
“Probing Adsorption, Pore Condensation and Hysteresis Behavior of Pure Fluids in Three-Dimensional Cubic Mesoporous KIT-6 Silica” Kleitz, F.; Bérubé, F.; Guillet-Nicolas, R.; Yang, C.-M.; Thommes, M. J. Phys. Chem. C, 2010, 114, 9344-9355
Link to the ACS page: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jp909836v
This publication is important because it provides new insights into the effects of network interconnectivity on pore condensation and hysteresis behavior in both 3-D cubic KIT-6 and 2-D hexagonal SBA-15 silica materials, and enables a more thorough understanding of the pore structure and textural properties of these interesting materials.
April-May 2010
Rémi Plamont has joined our group for a 5 months MSc internship in collaboration with the laboratory of Professor Ollevier (Organic chemistry)
Solange Schneider starts her MSc studies with us. Her co-director is Professor Larivière (Analytical chemistry)
Nima Masoumifard (PhD candidate) has joined us for a project in collaboration with Professor Kaliaguine (Chemical engineering) and Dr. Pablo M. Arnal (INIFTA, La Plata, Argentina)
Myriam Laprise Pelletier starts her MSc studies in the Department of Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering under the supervision of Professor Marc-André Fortin and co-supervision of Freddy.
Welcome to the group!
9-11 March 2010
On March 9th, François Bérubé has defended his PhD thesis in Chemical engineering with great success
Bravo François!!!!
For this occasion, Professor David Grosso (UPMC and Collège de France, Paris) visited us in Laval. David acted as the external examiner for the thesis and also gave a great lecture on nanostructured thin films prepared by sol-gel chemistry on March 11th
