May 04-05, Inverse Gas Chromatography Symposium 2015 in New Jersey, USA

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Feb. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- The IGC Symposium 2015, organised by Surface Measurement Systems Ltd., is a two-day event on Inverse Gas Chromatography technique for materials characterization and is being held in Newark, New Jersey on 4th & 5th of May 2015.

The event is driven by increasing demand for advanced experimental techniques for characterizing the physical and surface chemical properties of complex particulate solids. The programme will journey through the latest, most up-to-date knowledge and experience on surface and bulk characterization, using the IGC technique.

Speakers and Presentations:

1. Using Inverse Gas Chromatography to Measure Processing Effects on Cellulose Nanofibril Surface Energy by Dr Douglas Gardner, University of Maine.

2. Applications of IGC to Mineral Processing by Prof Kristian Edmund Waters, McGill University.

3. Coupling Bulk and Surface Properties to Predict Powder Flowability: Statistical Approach and the Granular Bond Number by Dr Raimundo Ho, AbbVie.

4. Application of iGC for Formulation Development by Mr Vincent Abeyta, Boehinger-Ingelheim.

5. Application of Inverse Chromatography Techniques to Separation and Materials Science In Industry-Government-Academic Research for 50 Years by Dr Jerry Wayne King, University of Arkansas.

6. Particle Engineering in Pharmaceutical Solids: Surface Energy Considerations by Dr Daryl Williams, Imperial College London.

7. An Investigation into the Potential Use of Insilico Prediction Techniques in Rationalising Inverse Gas Chromatography (iGC) Behaviour by Dr David Merrifield, University of Leeds.

8. Utility of Inverse Gas Chromatography in Consumer Product Research and Development by Dr Steve Page, Procter & Gamble

9. Applications of IGC to Biocomposites by Angelica Legras, University of Queensland

10. Understanding the Impact of Bulk and Surface Characteristics of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients on their Cohesion and Blending Behaviour by Dolapo Olusamni, Bristol-Myer Squibb

11. Application Science Support: Practical Advices to BET, SSA samples e.g films, powders, fibers.

The event is also accepting poster presentations and submission is still on-going. For more information regarding the event, please visit IGC Symposium 2015.
