Hello everyone! This is the first of many blog posts for MaeChem Silanes in the 2023-2024 UF IPPD program. We are happy to finally be working together as a team and with Milliken over the next two semesters. These blog posts will detail our progress in designing and creating a continuous batch system to manufacture silanes for the semiconductor industry.

We will be meeting with our team coach to clarify the scope of work for this project and outline our expectations as a group, and are planning to meet with the liaison engineers at Milliken soon after. We’re very excited to share this journey with you all so stay posted as we update our blog weekly.
