报告简介：
　　The dynamic and often subtle interactions among organic and inorganic species and/or organized arrays covers a wide kinetic and thermodynamic phase space that offers almost unlimited opportunities to synthesize hierarchical multifunctional systems; and, to subsequently use the multifunctional interface chemistry to modify catalytic and bio processes. This talk will focus on two examples of some recent research on the use of inorganic species to control catalytic and bioprocesses. The first example is based on the search for a viable approach to make more efficient use of stranded natural gas by eliminating the need for flaring or reinjection into gas/oil producing geological formations. The target in this case is to selectively go directly from methane and the light hydrocarbons found in natural gas to gasoline or to petrochemical precursors needed and used for commercial carbon containing commodities. The challenge is to replace the Syngas and Fischer Tropsch processes using a smaller platform that can utilized, for example, on ocean based oil platforms. The second example involves the development of a protocol to accelerate or inhibit blood coagulation by using an inorganic-blood interface that selectively controls local electrolyte conditions, local dehydration, heating of blood, and presentation of a high surface area, charged polar surface that defines the interface chemistry created upon contact with the blood clotting cascade. Methods for optimizing the heat response of inorganic-based hemostatic materials, as well as incorporating antibacterial activity, will be described. By monitoring both the hemostatic and bone-forming activity of newly prepared mesostructured hemostatic bioactive glasses that have different compositions, an interesting inverse relationship for this class of wound healing materials has been determined. The relationship between in vitro research and in vivo testing, as well as the ultimate practical commercial evaluation and application will also summarized.
