Laboratory for Chemical Technology

Driving
Chemical Technology

The Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LCT) integrates chemical science and engineering in its research on catalysis, polymerization, kinetics, reactor design and process design. LCT is part of the Department of Materials, Textiles and Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University in Belgium and member of the Centre for Sustainable Chemistry (CSC) of Ghent University. LCT aims at research excellence and bottom-up innovation in the framework of technological, industrial, and societal challenges.

Chem. Eng. J. contribution on wavelength dependent kinetics for reversible material design

(26-10-2020)

Together with Queensland University of Technology a generic photokinetic framework has been developed to predict concentration variations for anthracene dimerization and cleavage at any wavelength. Such chemistry is relevant for photoresponsive dynamic materials. The results have been published in Chemical Engineering Journal (SCI-IF 2019: 10.652).

The involved LCT coauthors are Anastasia Kislyak, Paul H.M. Van Steenberge and Dagmar R. D’hooge
