Dispersion and rheology discussed.Seminars on "Dispersion of pigments and resins in fluid media" and "Applied rheology for industrial applications" will be presented June 11-14 by the Institute of Materials Science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. - New Paltz at the Cleveland Airport Marriott, Cleveland, OH. The dispersion course will offer an intensive overview of dispersion science and technology. Participants will be provided with a review of surface and colloid colloid (kŏl`oid) [Gr.,=gluelike], a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. science and the principles of wetting/dispersing pigments as they relate to dispersion processes. Instruction will be provided on the dispersion of inorganic, white and organic pigments; carbon black and fumed fume n. 1. Vapor, gas, or smoke, especially if irritating, harmful, or strong. 2. A strong or acrid odor. 3. A state of resentment or vexation. v. silica; methods for characterizing and assessing the quality of dispersions; as well as the various plant practices and equipment used in the manufacturing process. As a special feature of the course, an instrument exposition will be included where dispersion characterization instrumentation will be discussed and demonstrated. Subjects covered in this course will include dispersion, surface and colloid science, inorganic, organic and white pigments, carbon black, fumed silica, dispersants, wetting agents, dispersion stability, dispersion quality, etc. The objective of the rheology course is to provide industrial scientists, engineers, chemists and formulators with a practical approach to understanding key rheological rhe·ol·o·gy n. The study of the deformation and flow of matter. rhe  o·log principles and methodologies. This improved understanding is said to assist attendees in solving the urgent, unexpected problems that they enounter on a daily basis. As a special feature of the rheology course, an instrumentation exposition has been added where the latest rheological and dispersion characterization instrumentation will be demonstrated. Subjects covered in this course will include rheology, rheometry, viscometry vis·com·e·ter n. An instrument used to measure viscosity. Also called viscosimeter. [Short for viscosimeter. , dispersions, colloids, complex fluids, fluid flow, non-Newtonian behavior, viscoelasticity Viscoelasticity, also known as anelasticity, is the study of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like honey, resist shear flow and strain linearly with time when a stress is applied. , polymer rheology, coatings, adhesives, inks, sealants, thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. chemorheology, cure characterization and coating defects. Registration for these courses costs $1,275 for each course. Further information is available from the Institute of Materials Science (845) 255-0757. |
