Powder Characterisation: Chemical, Physical and Mechanical Properties

18th - 21st May 2010
Weetwood Hall Hotel & Conference Centre, Otley Road, Leeds, LS16 5PS
 

Organised by Professor M Ghadiri and Dr A Hassanpour
Institute of Particle Science and Engineering,
School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering
University of Leeds, UK

 

This short course will outline the principles and methods for characterising the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of powders at length scales ranging from molecular level to single particles and to bulk levels. Sample preparation and the state-of-the-art techniques for particle characterisation will be detailed. The course is intended for scientists, engineers and technologists wishing to gain a better understanding of powders characteristics to enable them to address powder handling, processing and manufacturing issues from a fundamental base.

The course has been running for the last seven years, and the structure and contents are revised annually based on inputs from the participants’ feedbacks and suggestions from academic and industrial advisors. The course is given by over ten lecturers with internationally-leading expertise in their own speciality fields. The outcome of the course should enable the participants to choose what and how to characterise the powder and suspension properties and to diagnose particular process and product issues of interest.
