What can a chemical engineer do with a nuclear reactor?. SW Prescott. STEM into Action: Preparing for the Classroom, September 2016.[Abstract]
Abstract:
Designing new consumer products like shampoos and paints combines science and
maths in intriguing ways. We learn how molecules will stick to surfaces and
change surface tension by looking at their chemistry, we measure these
properties using neutrons from a nuclear reactor and we use maths to
calculate, predict and optimise the performance. We'll look at the experiments
we perform, how we analyse the results and how that lets us develop better
products.
