Phase behavior of polymer/mosquito repellent system PLA/DEET

The phase diagram of the binary polymer/mosquito repellent system poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) has been established for the purpose of screening the potential use of biodegradable PLA as drug-delivery reservoir for DEET. Crystallization-induced solid-liquid (S-L) phase separation occurs on sufficiently slow cooling of liquid solutions containing crystallizable PLA at temperatures slightly higher than ambient. Non-isothermal crystallization starts spherulitically at point-like nuclei, followed by dendritic crystal growth due to depletion of crystallizable polymer in the solution in the later stage.

Basics in Research Valorization through Entrepreneurship and Intellectual Property (September 18–20, 2017)
Thursday 24. August 2017
Background

Academic and scientific excellence notwithstanding, scientists and academics are challenged with an increasing demand for transfer, exploitation and commercialization of research results. Hence, enabling young researchers to commercialize their ideas either by licensing or selling them for industrial use – or by starting up an own enterprise – becomes more and more important. The challenges comprise legal issues including intellectual property rights, but also aspects of marketing, visualization, communication and the selling of ideas and research findings.

Target Audience

Doctoral students and junior scientists interested in entrepreneurial thinking and acting.

Objectives
  • Survey of basic approaches to research valorization
  • Development of entrepreneurial skills

Official announcement

Praktikum anbieten | RISE
Monday 14. August 2017

 

Sie promovieren in den Ingenieurwissenschaften oder in den Natur- und Lebenswissenschaften? Sie möchten einen Praktikanten aus Nordamerika, Großbritannien oder Irland als Unterstützung für Ihre experimentellen Arbeiten gewinnen? Bieten Sie ein Praktikum im Rahmen Ihrer Doktorarbeit an.

RISE Germany vermittelt Bachelorstudierende von nordamerikanischen, britischen und irischen Hochschulen für einen Forschungsaufenthalt an deutschen Hochschulen oder außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen. Der DAAD unterstützt die in den Sommermonaten stattfindenden Forschungspraktika mit Stipendien, finanziert durch Mittel des Auswärtigen Amts und durch institutionelle Kooperationen. Jährlich werden 300 Praktika vermittelt.
