Dispersion Colloids in Research and Industry
Main focus course
Master Chemie/Master Life Science/Master Nanoscience:
General classification of colloids & dispersion, particularly with regard to suspensions and emulsions:
- Macroemulsions, miniemulsions and microemulsions (preparation of emulsions by various methods, emulsion stability and stabilization mechanisms, role of emulsifiers, theoretical concepts)
- Synthesis of polymer dispersions (emulsion polymerization, dispersion polymerization, miniemulsion polymerization, etc.) from the lab to the industrial scale
- Practical applications of polymer dispersions
- Colloidal stability and appropriate ways to stabilize dispersed systems are of central importance
Active involvement in an advanced research project in colloid science will help to train practical research skills.
