ISO TC 201 Surface Chemical Analysis meeting will be held from 5 October (Wed) 2022 to 7 Oct (Fri) 2022 in Brescia, Italy.

This will be a hybrid meeting format as TCs can only hold either virtual or hybrid meetings without approval by ISO according to the ISO COVID-19 measures updated on 18 Feb.

SCOPE of ISO TC201
Standardization in the field of surface chemical analysis. Surface chemical analysis includes analytical techniques in which beams of electrons, ions, neutral atoms or molecules, or photons are incident on the specimen material and scattered or emitted electrons, ions, neutral atoms or molecules, or photons are detected.

Abstracts are now being solicited for oral and ‘poster’ presentations on topics of interest within AVS.

Participation in a local AVS chapter provides an excellent opportunity to interact in a smaller venue compared to the larger national conferences, affording the participants time to focus on presentations of scientific work that is happening in our immediate geographic proximity, along with ample time for professional networking.

These local chapter meetings are also an ideal setting for students and early career researchers and professionals to present their research. Therefore, student participation is strongly encouraged. Established professionals are also welcome to submit abstracts, which could include recent studies, or provide overviews of topics of general scientific interest to the society and chapter members.

Registration for the meeting is free. Pizza and refreshments will be provided at 6:10 pm. At the end of the meeting, awards will be given for the best oral and poster presentation(s). The award winner(s) will be given a certificate from the AVS and will also be publicized in the AVS Newsletter.

Abstract Submission Deadline: October 12, 2022

Wednesday, November 16, 2022, 1PM - 2PM EST

Event: AVS e-Talk: Design, Realization, Applications of Gas and Ion Separations Materials
Location: Virtual/Online
Contact: Heather Korff
Web: https://avs.swoogo.com/avs_gasion

The ability to design, tune and successfully test nanoporous crystalline materials allows for the development and commercialization of materials for many different environmental and energy applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in challenging separations of molecules with very similar kinetic diameters. One area of strong focus in our lab is toward a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship of selective adsorption in MOFs. Here our team has implemented a synergistic approach involving predictive molecular modeling, experimental synthesis, and advanced testing to enable rapid discovery of new materials. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to measure the binding energy for various gases on coordinatively unsaturated metal sites in MOFs. The modeling guides the materials synthesis, which in turn is supported by laboratory testing. Results then are used to validate and optimize the models for continuous advancements. Applications as adsorbents and direct electrical readout sensors will be presented.
