Join us for this workshop organized with the CARPOR platform of the University of Liège to explore pharmaceuticals
and inorganic materials using vapor sorption techniques.

Date:
Tues 17 May 2022
Time:
 2:00 pm 
Duration:
2 hour incl. Q&A

Attending this workshop, you will hear from sorption science experts as they discuss the use of DVS and iGC techniques to determine physicochemical properties of solid state materials, providing invaluable insights to those involved in pharmaceutical or inorganic material research. Attendees will also be able to engage our scientists, Dr. Susannah Molisso and Dr. Connor Hewson, in a live Q&A.

The workshop will cover in-depth Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) and Inverse Gas Chromatography (iGC) techniques and their applications on studies of materials such as powders, nanomaterials, fibres, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and inorganic materials.

In the workshop, you will learn about:

  • Capability of DVS and iGC technology and an overview of applications in various industries
  • Overview of benefits when coupled with different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques (Raman/IR/video camera)
  • Some examples and case studies for:
    • Moisture sorption properties of materials relating to their drying and shelf life stability
    • Determination of amorphous contents and vapour-induced phase changes (glass transition temperature and critical relative humidity)
    • Diffusion and permeability studies
    • Surface energy, surface heterogeneity mapping, and adhesion/cohesion
    • Sorption isotherms and BET surface area
