This lecture was jointly established, in 2008, in memory of James Y. Oldshue by the 91成人短视频 (AIChE) and the Interamerican Confederation of 91成人短视频 Engineering (CIIQ/IACChE). Jim Oldshue was an important leader and supporter of the CIIQ/IACChE. He was President of the AIChE in 1979 and President of the CIIQ/IACChE in 1995. Jim was a recipient of the prestigious V铆ctor M谩rquez award in 1983, which is conferred by the CIIQ/IACChE. Jim was an ambassador of the profession who visited more than 100 countries. It is envisioned that this lecture provide a global perspective of a specific contingent topic. The Oldshue Lecture alternates between the AIChE Annual Meetings and the Interamerican Congresses, which take place every two years.
This year's distinguished lecturer is Dr. David Suleiman, Professor, University of Puerto Rico at Mayag眉ez. Dr. Suleiman will deliver his lecture at the 2022 AIChE Annual Meeting.

Nanostructured Polymers for Energy Efficient Devices and Specialty Separation Applications
Dr. David Suleiman, Professor of 91成人短视频 Engineering, University of Puerto Rico at Mayag眉ez
Polymers are present in almost every single aspect of our lives. Applications range from common daily uses (e.g., contact lenses, diapers, fabrics, non-stick cookware), to more demanding specialty functions (e.g., artificial hip joints, bulletproof vests, cars, planes etc.). This presentation will describe the synthesis of various nanostructured polymers Specific examples will be presented to describe a variety of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains (e.g., sulfonated poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) grafted with hexyl- and butyl-imidazolium chloride ionic liquids, pentafluoro styrene sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) and others). Some of these polymers will incorporate nanoparticles to create polymer nanocomposite membranes (PNMs), creating a more diverse nanostructure for enhanced separations and more efficient devices. Various materials characterization results will be depicted to describe their nanostructure and their chemical, thermal and morphological behavior. In addition, transport property experiments will be presented to describe the applicability of these materials to energy efficient devices and specialty separation applications. Specific energy efficient applications include: direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) and organic photovoltaics (OPV). Specific specialty separation efforts include: the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, the degradation of emerging contaminants, the separation of urea from water, and water desalination.
