  1. Overview NSF Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Composites

  2. University-Industry-Government Partnership

  3. A Structured Organic Composite

  4. C-SOC Vision of Desired State Given active organic substances & administration/delivery requirements, • Development of structured organic composite product • Design of associated process • Manufacturing execution will occur via Model-predictive integrated framework based on fundamental understanding supported by a minimum of key experiments

  5. C-SOC Mission 1: Develop a scientific foundation for the optimal design of structured organic composites. 2: Develop science and engineering methods for designing, scaling, optimizing and controlling relevant manufacturing processes. 3: Establish effective educational and technology transfer vehicles. 4: Establish effective mechanisms for the inclusion and participation of minorities and women at all levels.

  7. Thrust 1: Material Synthesis and Functionalization Functionalized Nanoparticles for Tissue Targeting Functionalized Particles by Nanocoating Mechanical Strength of Small Organic Crystals • Thrust 2: Composites Synthesis and Characterization DEM for Realistic Particle Processing Computations Deagglomeration of Nano- and Micro-agglomerates Multiscale Computational Tools for Dissolution and Disintegration • Thrust 3: Manufacturing Science Synthesis and Design of Integrated Composite Manuf. Processes Real-time Monitoring of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Processes MPC Control Strategies for Blending Operations P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 Initial Project Line-up • Projects focus on basic and enabling research addressing technical gaps and focusing on overcoming technical barriers

  8. P4: Discrete Element Models for Realistic Particle Processing Computations • Motivation • Need for correlating system behavior to process conditions and powder properties • Need to scale from the particle level to the unit operation level • Mechanistic understanding for coarse grain models necessary for active control • Approach • Large scale 3D simulations of realistic scenarios • Accurate inter-particle interactions Carl WassgrenPurdue(Project Leader) Steve BeaudoinPurdue (Inter-particle force models) Maureen Howley NJIT (DEM-continuum modeling) Silvina TomassoneRutgers (DEM-continuum modeling)

  9. P6: Multiscale Computational Tools for Dissolution and Disintegration • Motivation: • Dissolution and disintegration profiles are key characteristics of any delivery system. • Relation between ingredient properties/processing with dissolution profiles is unpredictable. • Need for methodologies to accurately predict active release. • Approach: • Combine, expand and develop existing multiscale models and simulations techniques (MD, discrete-continuum, FEM).
