Date: 16 September 2020
Time: 13:00 BST (14:00 CEST)
Duration: 2 hours
The workshop is beneficial to individuals who work in the areas of:
Bio and Natural Materials

Building 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
Agenda:
Introduction to Surface Measurement Systems
DVS – Introduction and Basic Applications
iGC-SEA – Introduction and Basic Applications
BET Surface Area using both DVS & iGC techniques
Instrument demonstration and Q&A
