Course content
Application of powder characterization methods with emphasis on methods for determining particle size distribution (microscopic methods, sedimentation methods, optical methods using light scattering, sensitive zone methods, Doppler-based methods), specific surface area (adsorption, transmittance and chromatographic methods) and specific methods weight. Furthermore, methods for determining the porosity of powder materials, methods for studying their structure (X-ray and electron diffraction methods) and methods for studying their optical properties will be discussed.

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Methods of individual activities
  • Home preparation for classes - 24 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Application of methods for characterization of powder materials with emphasis on methods for determination of particle size distribution (microscopic methods, sedimentation methods, optical methods using light scattering, sensitive zone methods, methods based on Doppler effect), specific surface area (adsorption, permeation and chromatographic methods) and specific gravity. Methods for determining the porosity of powder materials, methods for studying their structure (X-ray and electron diffraction methods) and methods for studying their optical properties will also be discussed.
