内容简介：
【简介】 Research in the Department of Chemical Engineering encompasses the full spectrum of fundamental and applied research that defines modern chemical engineering. Traditions subjects such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, kinetics and reaction engineering, and transport phenomena that are recognizable as core subjects in the undergraduate curriculum are certainly well represented. What continues to make these and other subjects vibrant is the ever-developing ways in which they connect with and contribute to exciting new areas of science and technology.
New chemical engineering frontiers being explored in the department span the biological - bioluminescent recombinant organisms as pollutant sensors, artificial kidneys, control of implantable insulin pumps, design and expression of novel proteins - and materials - high temperature superconductors, advanced materials from renewable resources, electrorheological fluids and smart materials, microstructural fluids as templates for novel 3-D structures, engineered thin films and membranes for catalysis, separations and fuel cells. Important themes cut across these research programs, including both motivating issues such as the environment, and enabling technologies such as new analytical and computational tools.
