Description
<strong>Course Schedule - December 2-5, 2008</strong><br/><br/>This course is designed to bring you up-to-date on the basic
principles involved in colloid and interface science, as well as
surfactants, and to demonstrate their relevance for solving
practical problems. Such problems are encountered in various
engineering aspects of formation of dispersions, their longterm
physical stability, and the preparation of various systems
of paints, inks, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, ceramics,
detergents and many household products. The course
provides the fundamental principles of colloid and interface
science, with particular emphasis on surfactants and their
applications. Theories are adequately described, but more
emphasis is given toward commercial application of the
fundamental concepts. Application of these fundamental
principles follows in a logical way. Practical examples of
formulation solving are included and you are encouraged to
bring your problems and needs for public or private
discussion with the course director.
