What have Texas Tea and milk, ink-jet inks and ceramics in common?
Comprehensive programme at International LUM-Workshop on 17 March 2011 Berlin, 10 February 2011: Texas Tea (crude oil) and milk, ink-jet inks and ceramic suspensions are heterogeneous systems of two or more substances, where one or more kinds of particles are dispersed in a liquid phase, i.e. they are dispersions. Sooner or later the phases separate from each other resulting in problems at production and transport, formulation and application.
The scientific committee, chaired by Prof. Dr. Lerche, Managing Director of LUM GmbH, has selected topics for the workshop Dispersion Analysis, being of interdisciplinary interest.
Formulaters, producers and users of inks and waxes, fibers, ceramics, minerals, cosmetics, blood, milk and crude oil are united by the need of a direct and accelerated stability analysis and the requirement of a comprehensive characterization of particle properties and interactions. Speakers from industries and research organizations discuss their experiences, strategies and problem solutions based on the use of the
