DESIGNING POLYMERS
Polymeric nanostructures - fascinating and versatile. But what are the latest developments in technology, product and application? Our exclusive three-hour pre-conference tutorial will provide you with a composition of the technologies currently in use to design polymer particles, polymer nanocomposites or polymer surfaces on the nanoscale, and the implications of such techniques in the industrial practice.
In particular, our tutorial will comprise
Core/shell latex particle technologies
other latex particle desings
multiphase coating binder designs
the use of the different techniques in coatings applications
Please note: In order to ensure a creative and intensive atmosphere, the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 30.
The Lecturer
Gijsbertus de With is full professor in materials science. He graduated from Utrecht State University and received his Ph.D in 1977 from the University of Twente on the 'Structure and charge distribution of molecular crystals'. In the same year he joined Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven. In 1985 he was appointed part-time professor and in 1995 he became full professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests include the chemical and mechanical processing as well as the chemo-mechanical behaviour of multi-phase materials. He has (co)-authored more then 300 research papers and holds about 15 patents. Throughout he has cooperated with other researchers, both from academia and industry. He is a member of the Advisory board of the J. Eur. Ceram. Soc., co-organised the first Eur. Ceram. Soc. Conference and is presently co-organiser of the Coatings Science International conferences.
Please note that the pre-conference tutorial and the main conference are two seperate events and that pre-registration is absolutely necessary as places are limited!
