PDILF – S Abbott – Particle Dispersion for Formulators
Particle Dispersion for FormulatorsProfessor Steven Abbottsteven@stevenabbott.co.uk For too long, the particle formulation community has had to work with inadequate formulation tools. Things are now changing for two reasons. First, a lot of the knowledge is available in free apps, demonstrated live during the talks. Second, the community is realising that the solubility science approach is […]
PDILF – M Mohammadi – Colloidal Refractometry for Microstructure Characterization of Particle Dispersions
Colloidal Refractometry for Microstructure Characterization of Particle Dispersions – posterMansur S. MohammadiBiruni Associatesmansur.sultani@gmail.com This poster introduces a new structural probe for colloidal liquids in their neat unperturbed state. The technique combines two recent advances in refractometry – a generalised equation for the refractive index of particulate systems which contains the size and the volume concentration […]
