DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roland Kalb\nhosted by Markus Wanko\nAbstract: Ionic l
 iquids are molten organic salts with very low melting points. They are a n
 ew class of liquid high tech materials with extraordinary properties\, som
 e of which usually found only in solid matter. By the end of 2018 more tha
 n 80.000 scientific papers were published and 17.000 patent families were 
 applied in the field of ionic liquids\, which went through a typical hype 
 cycle. Based on their remarkable properties Ionic liquids allow fundamenta
 lly new approaches to technical challenges: They have the potential to ope
 n doors to radical innovations and clearly develop towards mass applicatio
 ns.Roland Kalb was born in 1967 in Austria and is working in the field of 
 technical ionic liquid application and manufacture since 19 years. In 2003
  he invented an industrial process for the world’s first halide and wast
 e free production of ultra-pure ionic liquids (CBILS®-process). He founde
 d proionic GmbH in 2004\, which today is one of the three leading companie
 s in development and manufacturing of ionic liquids worldwide. Roland Kalb
  holds a number of more than 100 pending or issued patents and is an advis
 ory board member at the DOE Joint BioEnergy Institute\, Lawrence Berkeley 
 Laboratory\, California\; several of his inventions are commercialized tod
 ay.Roland Kalb will give an insight into the fascinating world of ionic li
 quid applications\, tell the story of what it means to build up a technolo
 gy company and why society urgently needs to rethink the value of applied 
 scientific entrepreneurship.
