Who Should Attend
This intensive course is designed for research workers and
professionals working with pharmaceuticals, paints,
agrochemicals, personal care and cosmetics, printing inks,
paper coatings, ceramics and detergents.
It is targeted at, but not limited, to:
• Formulation chemists
• Chemical Engineers
• Research workers engaged in application of surfactants in
both industrial and academic laboratories
Description
This 2-day intensive course is designed to bring you up-to
date on the classification of surfactants, the physical
chemistry of their solutions and the principles of colloid
stability. Both electrostatic stabilization produced as a result
of formation of electrical double layers as well as that
produced by adsorbed non-ionic surfactants and polymers are
described. Applications of these principles in emulsion
formation and stability as well as the use of surfactants as
dispersant are discussed at a fundamental level. A special
topic on the formation of microemulsions, their
thermodynamic stability as well as their characterization is
described in a separate lecture. The course provides the
fundamental principles as well as their applications in various
formulations such as paints, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals,
cosmetics and paper coatings. You are encouraged to bring
your problems and needs for public or private discussion with
the course director.
