“…Bayer recently announced that they will become a "pure Life Science company", focusing their business entirely on products that enhance human health and nutrition (Bayer, 2014). Dupont continues to focus its product offerings on agriculture and nutrition developed using the latest advancements in biotechnology (DuPont, 2013). These trends suggest that the raw material and product portfolios of chemical process industry may grow and be quite different compared to today's in the near future.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper gives the author's perspective on some of the open questions and opportunities in process synthesis focusing on separation systems as the application. Driven by energy and environmental concerns and challenged by introduction of new raw materials, this author anticipates significant advances in: (1) novel approaches that integrate experimental studies and process synthesis activities, and multiscale and surrogate models for accurately capturing the behavior of these unconventional mixtures, (2) systematic generation of alternatives for processing these mixtures, and (3) global, robust, and stochastic optimization for identifying the optimum alternative. This paper is an extended version of a conference

“…As a result, polyimides can be found in a wide array of industrial applications such as electric motors, jet engine blades, aircraft wire, and molded pistons and seals. Recent aerospace applications of PI films include the Mars Explorers Curiosity and Spirit [1], the European Space Agency's Rosetta space probe [2], and the sun shield of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope [3]. In all of the PI applications efficiency can be improved by using less material to effect the same utility.…”

Graphene oxide produced by Tour's method (GO) and GO functionalized with 4-4' oxydianiline (ODAGO) are incorporated at 0.01 to 0.10 weight percent (wt%) into a polyimide (PI) made from 3,3'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and 4-4' oxydianiline (ODA). The performance properties of these two systems GO-PI and ODAGO-PI at extremely low GO concentrations are compared. ODAGO-PI nanocomposite's performance properties are comparable to previous results citing concentrations 10 times higher and displayed significantly greater improvement than unfunctionalized GO-PI films. The 0.01 wt% ODAGO-PI film demonstrated a factor of ten decrease in water vapor permeability. The 0.10 wt% ODAGO-PI film displayed the maximum increase of 82% in Young's modulus. The water vapor permeability results were fit to the Nielsen law. We found that the model yielded unphysically large aspect ratios for the 0.01 wt% ODAGO-PI, 100 times larger than the AFM-measured value.

White Evangelicals as a “People”: The Church Growth Movement from India to the United States

This article begins with a simple question: How did white evangelicals respond to the civil rights movement? Traditional answers are overwhelmingly political. As the story goes, white evangelicals became Republicans. In contrast, this article finds racial meaning in the places white evangelicals, themselves, insisted were most important: their churches. The task of evangelization did not stop for a racial revolution. What white evangelicals did with race as they tried to grow their churches is the subject of this article. Using the archives of the leading evangelical church growth theorists, this article traces the emergence and transformation of the Church Growth Movement (CGM). It shows how evangelistic strategies created in caste-conscious India in the 1930s came to be deployed in American metropolitan areas decades later. After first resisting efforts to bring these missionary approaches to the United States, CGM founder Donald McGavran embraced their use in the wake of the civil rights movement. During the 1970s, the CGM defined white Americans as “a people” akin to castes or tribes in the Global South. Drawing on the revival of white ethnic identities in American culture, church growth leaders imagined whiteness as pluralism rather than hierarchy. Embracing a culture of consumption, they sought to sell an appealing brand of evangelicalism to the white American middle class. The CGM story illuminates the transnational movement of people and ideas in evangelicalism, the often-creative tension between evangelical practices and American culture, and the ways in which racism inflected white evangelicals’ most basic theological commitments.
