The workshop will cover in-depth Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) technique and iGC-SEA (Inverse Gas Chromatography – Surface Energy Analyzer), the most-advanced scientific instrument in determining surface energy. Some of the key applications conducted using DVS and iGC-SEA are:
- DVS: Measuring BET Surface Areas Using Organic Probe Molecules
- DVS: Measurement of Moisture Uptake Capacity in Human Hair Using Dynamic Vapour Sorption Technique.
- DVS: Measuring TEWL or Moisture Flux Across Artificial Skin
- iGC-SEA: Investigation of the influence of bleaching conditions on surface properties of standard hair samples by inverse gas chromatography
- iGC-SEA: The Characterisation of Surface Area and Surface Adsorption Potential Heterogeneity Profiles of Hair by Inverse Gas Chromatography
- iGC-SEA: The characterisation of cotton fabrics and the interaction with perfume molecules by inverse gas chromatography.
Speakers from industry and academia will discuss DVS and iGC-SEA, from theory to common applications and present real case studies. In addition, an instrument demonstrations will also be taken place at the end of all presentations.
Guest speakers:
- Dr. Jim Bullock, Co-Founder and Director (iFormulate)
- Dr. Daryl Williams, Director of Development – Discovery Space and Reader in Particle Science (Imperial College London)
- Dr. Majid Naderi, Senior Application Scientist and Laboratory Manager (Surface Measurement Systems)
- Dr. Damiano Cattaneo, Instrumentation Scientist (Surface Measurement Systems)
