Chandigarh, December 30, 2014: The 67th annual session of Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE), the CHEMCON-2014, being organised at Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh entered its third day on Monday. Chemical Engineering pioneers from various countries discussed, deliberated and exchanged their views on the new arrivals in chemical technology.
The first session of the day commenced with an invited lecture from Dr L.M.Manocha, from Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, who spoke on the title of “Carbon Nanomaterials Added Carbon Composites for Chemical Technologies”. He talked of the advancements in manufacture of carbon nanostructured materials, which provide the
engineers with a great alternative to typical engineering materials used in aerospace industry, turbine engines and nuclear reactors. He was awarded with “Hetero Drugs Prof. Ladha CHEMCON Distinguished Speaker Award (CDS).
Prof Mukesh Doble from Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, talked of using “Polymers as Biomaterials”. Such materials find an important application in growing drug delivery techniques. He claimed for a complete transformation in medicinal techniques. He spoke on few applications of polymers as drug
deliverers, which include delivery of antibiotics using poly methyl methacrylate. Prof Doble was honoured with Sartorius India CDS Award.
The session in a nutshell enriched the listeners with a wide knowledge of how the collaboration of chemical engineering with advanced research can bring about a reform in modern lifestyle.
The next CDS awardee of the day, Prof Yen Wah Tong from Department of Chemical and Bio-molecular technology of National University of Singapore, spoke on a very important theme of management of municipal waste. With the advance research on the waste management techniques and its collaboration with the growing chemical technology, waste can not only be disposed in a more efficient manner but it can also be utilised as an important source of energy, he claimed.
