Many products are composed of ingredients that cannot be mixed at the molecular level, called disperse systems. Salad dressing, cosmetics, paints and concrete are all examples of dispersions. Such products can be developed by applying the theoretical laws that affect all dispersions.
This short course focuses on the stability of disperse (colloidal) systems, the application of homogeneous layers to substrate surfaces and the activity of surfactants. Flow systems of and within dispersions are also discussed.
Alongside the theoretical lessons, you will form groups to work on case studies. Using an example from your own experience, you will discover how a seemingly complicated problem can be solved once you recognise the principles of dispersions.
During the course:
Chemists, physicists or technical engineers who want to operationalise physical and chemical insights in industrial disperse systems.

“The pace was fine and the theory was illustrated with practical examples. I would recommend this course to both chemists and non-chemists.”Richard Esselink (Matrix Specialty Lubricants BV)
“It was an enjoyable course in a small group with plenty of room for questions and illustrations from practice.”G. Meijer (Albemarle Catalysts BV)
