New nano and micro process conference

London -- BHR Group is holding its first International Conference on Industrial Processes for Nano and Micro Products in London, 3-4 April, 2007. The event, which includes an exhibition, will bring together participants from academia and industry to address both industrial applications and needs and related academic and industrial research.

Recent advances in the manufacturing, manipulation and characterisation of nanoscale particles and emulsions have already made it possible to use nanomaterials in numerous product formulations. Rapid developments in the area have the potential for applications in a wide range of industrial sectors including electronics, coatings, wear resistance, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Industry is facing challenges including process and product design based on underlying physics, scale up and the selection of appropriate methods and techniques for product characterisation. Contributors will be presenting a range of successful current developments and applications and will also be highlighting future industrial demands.

The keynote speaker at the event will be Prof. Dr Ing Wolfgang Peukert of Friedrich-Alexander University, Germany. Presentations from academia and industry will be given under the following themes:

Industrial needs and applications

Aggregation and breakage processes

Product and process formulation

Equipment characterisation and scale up

Modelling

Emulsification processes
