These in clude knowledge of the types of interactions that can occur in complex m ixtures. This course addresses the physical principles of formulation wi th respect to polymers and macromolecules\, surfactants\, dispersions an d emulsions. Upon completion of the course\, each participant would be e xpected to possess an understanding of the theoretical basis of formulat ing with these materials. \; The course is divided into four parts\ , each of which will be taught over the course of half a day : Part 1: T he physical principles of formulating with polymersAn introduction to poly mers Polymer classificationThe characteristics conferred by polymer ar chitecturePolymer solubility and miscibilitySolubility parameter Hild ebrand parameterHoy-Hansen ApproachTeas diagrams and how to use themFlory- Huggins Basics What is the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter and ho w can it be used in practical applications. &bull\; What are the limitations of Flory-HugginsPhase Diagrams and how they can be used as pr edictors of formulation behaviorThe relationship between physical properti es and polymer architecturePolymer adsorption at interfacesSelf assembly o f polymersRheology modifiers -- performance and selectionPart 2: The physi cal principles of formulating with surfactantsAn introduction to surfactan ts Surfactant classificationStructure-property relationships in surfact antsAdsorption at interfaces &ndash\; what can be learned by measuring sur face and interfacial tensionMicellization and self-assembly into m esomorphic supermolecular structures Micelle stuctures and the pro perties that they conferLyotropic liquid crystals and gelsMechanisms of we tting\, spreading\, adhesion and cleaningPart 3: The physical principles o f dispersions and emulsionsThe nature of solid dispersions: dispersion\, f locculation\, aggregation and agglomerationThe electrical double layer &nd ash\; DLVO theory and its applicationsSteric Stabilization &mdash\; The th eory and where it is usedDispersion Rheology&mdash\;from Einstein Theory t o Yield StressSolids dispersion and the practical evaluation of dispersant sEmulsions Classification of emulsionsThe selection of emulsifiers HLB and PITEmulsion rheology and stabilityPractical aspects of emulsion s and scale-up considerations Part 4: Bringing it all togetherDemonstratio ns of the physical principles applied to examples from the recent patent l iterature and from the field.Learn more:  \;http://www.usm.edu/waterbo rne/shortcourses.htmlwww.usm.edu/waterborne/shortcourses.html DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130205 DTSTAMP:20130519T065404 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130204 LOCATION:New Orleans\, LA SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Physical Principles of Formulation UID:254253f5-34f0-4253-af8a-1edc4b7eb6e6 URL:http://www.pfonline.com/events/details/254253f5-34f0-4253-af8a-1edc4b7e b6e6 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
